PUBLIC WORKS NOTEX C

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

Fibre optic sensors can be integrated into the NOTEX^® C to monitor deformations, even minor ones, at the heart of the platform.

NOTEX^® C is also suitable for earth retention on slopes.

• Very high strength possible in both directions
• Significant reduction of short and long term settlements
• Large mesh aperture for a better interlocking of granular materials
• Limited use of granular materials
• Efficient economical and ecological solution with the reuse of existing soil
• Possible fibre optic integration for monitoring
• Environmentally friendly coating (PVC-free)
• Reinforcement by high-tenacity PET or PVA cables suitable for specific soil conditions (high pH)
• Easy and fast installation

• Geosynthetic made of high-tenacity polyester by the combination of high-strength cables
• Acrylic coating
• Roll width: 5.30 m (17.4')
• Roll length: 100 m (328')
• Tensile strength: up to 900 kN/m
• Specific service (upon request for high strength): length adapted to the pattern layout
