GEOTER F - Soil reinforcement : rigid inclusions

Use

The construction of linear infrastructures and engineering structures on compressible soil requires the development of deep foundation solutions such as rigid inclusions and retaining wall, to reduce compaction and increase load-bearing capacity. It must be enhanced by the integration of a reinforcing geocomposite such as GEOTER® F, to improve load transfer via “membrane effect” and avoid puncturing the mattress.

The reinforcement with low elongation function is provided by the combination of a woven substrate and high-tenacity cables. The separation function is performed by the woven substrate with constant aperture, regardless of the product’s strength, with no risk of clogging.

GEOTER® F has an immediate tensioning feature, allowing it to instantly absorb stress and limit initial deformation.

This product is also suitable for stabilising cavities and reinforcement on compressible soil.

Benefits

  • High tenacity with elongation at break of less than 11%
  • Controlled deformation, even under high strains
  • Controlled filtration function
  • Excellent permeability
  • Product available in long length rolls for optimised installation
