Geosynthetics Materials - TenCate Polyfelt DC

TenCate Polyfelt® DC

TenCate Polyfelt® DC is a geocomposite consisting of an HDPE geonet and a nonwoven filter on one or on both sides.

Benefits

DC is characterised by low compressibility, and is therefore used in cases where effective drainage under high overburden pressures is required.

Application

DC is used as a drainage element in landfills, retaining walls, basements, tunnels and other sub-surface structures.

Material Geossintético - Megadrain
Geosynthetics Materials - TenCate Polyfelt Megadrain

Megadrain

TenCate Polyfelt® Megadrain drainage composites are monofilament geomats from polypropylene, with a filter nonwoven (TS) on one or on both sides.

Benefits

The extremely high voids content of Megadrain guarantees a high water-flow capacity, especially at low overburden pressures. Megadrain is therefore used where high flow rates are required, or in cases of low hydraulic gradient.

Application

Megadrain is mainly used as a horizontal drainage element where surcharge loads are low, such as in flat roofs, playing fields, patios and landfill-cover systems.

Geosynthetics Materials - TenCate Polyfelt PGM 14

TenCate Polyfelt® PGM 14

TenCate Polyfelt® PGM paving fabrics are mechanically bonded, continuous-filament, polypropylene nonwovens.

Benefits

PGM is economically more effective than conventional road-maintenance methods. Its use retards reflective cracking of repaired asphalt road surfaces by a combination of the functions stress relief, sealing, and uniform bonding between the layers.

Application

PGM is mainly used in applications involving surface dressing or thin wearing courses, and in the maintenance of minor roads.

Geosynthetics Materials - TenCate Polyfelt PGM-G

TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G

TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G is a glass-filament-reinforced geocomposite.

Benefits

PGM-G is ideally suited to the economic local maintenance of any cracked road surface with a stable substructure. The combination of PGM – with its sealing and uniform bonding – and the glass-filament reinforcement leads to a tangible reduction in crack formation.

Application

PGM-G is used in layered structures with high horizontal stresses, such as road widening, concrete roads, airport runways or mountain roads widening.

TenCate GeoDetect
TenCate GeoDetect

TenCate GeoDetect®

TenCate GeoDetect® is the first system designed specifically for geotechnical applications. The TenCate GeoDetect® solution embodies a geocomposite fabric, fiber optics, software and instrumentation to provide an innovative solution for the multifunctional requirements of a geotechnical application.

Benefits

TenCate GeoDetect® is an innovation that provides:

  • Assurance the design materials are meeting or exceeding expected factors of performance.
  • Early warning indication of changes in material performance or local conditions that were not expected, e.g. high strains, subsidence, voids, etc.
