PUBLIC WORKS GEOTER FN

Many sites are affected by the presence of natural or man-made underground cavities. These cavities can cause the soil to collapse on the surface or be destabilised, resulting in disturbances in the structures; this can even damage or destroy these structures.

GEOTER^® FN the structures and helps reinforce areas exposed to a risk of cavities or localised collapse. In addition, this product can be instrumented to monitor risk developments.

In addition to its reinforcement function, GEOTER^® FN plays a separation and filtration role, thanks to a non-woven geotextile, the filtration aperture of which is constant regardless of the geocomposite’s tensile strength. GEOTER^® FN has an immediate tensioning feature, allowing it to instantly absorb stress and limit initial deformation during tensioning.

• High tenacity with elongation at break inferior to 11%
• Secured cavity, guaranteeing the continued operation of the structure
• The non-woven geotextile protects the cables during compaction and ensures excellent resistance to puncture
• Optimal aperture for filtration : the water flows freely and can be discharged
• Excellent permeability (>0.05 m/s)

• Reinforcing geosynthetic made of high-tenacity polyester by the combination of a non-woven geotextile (separation and filtration function) and high-strength polymer cables (reinforcement function)
• Roll width: 5.30 m (17.4')
• Roll length: 70 or 100 m (230' or 328')
• Tensile strength: up to 2,000 kN/m
