GEOCOMPOSITES

Geocomposites are compositions of several types of geotextiles, a combination of woven fabrics with a non-woven or, for example, a non-woven with a drainage mat.

GEOPEX is equipped with the knowledge and specialized machines for the in-house production of various types of composites.

We even have developed geocomposites made of fwoven abric in combination with a geomombrane and a nonwoven. Even natural materials such as jute and reed are used for this application.

Many of our geocomposites, equipped with a protective nonwoven are used as filter layer in facsine mattresses for shore and bottom protection.

We can provide this protection layer with our unique and patented loop openings, so that the loops of the underlying fabric can be used to fix the facsines.

Over the years, due to experiences and new insights, the requirements for hydraulic structures are continuously changing. Geopex follows these developments closely and is involved in the development of design guidelines, such as the latest CROW-CUR design guideline “Geotextiles under Stone Revetments”. We are also familiar with the Erratum of this design directive.

For the best composition of all components of the composite, please contact us for advice.

|We produce geocomposites with a water-inhibiting intermediate layer of geomembrane and geocomposites with a draining core.

Some examples of other geocomposites are:
– ProFix erosion mats
– ProGreen slope protection
– drainage mats

– Geo-elements with a protective nonwoven

Organic and Biobased

The problem with microplastics and litter requires responsible use of plastics, including geotextiles and geocomposites.

That is why we also use biobased and natural materials in our products, such as jute dredging tubes, zinc pieces made from composites that incorporate reed or PLA geotextiles, etc.

Design guideline for Geotextielen onder steenbekleding

New design guidelines have recently been developed for the application of geotextiles under stone coverings, the CROW “Design Guideline for Geotextiles under Stone Revetments”.

Geocomposites are an important part of this and we can advise you on this and supply the appropriate geotextiles and composites in accordance with this design guideline. The absorption energy (EAL) is important for certain stone grades.
We are familiar with the Erratum I and II CROW-CUR draft guideline Geotextiles under Stone Revetmentsand are involved in the follow-up research.
