Geosynthetics

Duralean was established to enrich geotechnical & civil engineering applications, that require to be serviced by modern geosynthetic cost-effective solutions for civil engineering applications

Applications

Geotextile

Geotextile is a fabric designed specifically for advanced civil engineering purposes. It stands out due to its permeability, serving crucial roles as filters, separators, protectors, and drainage facilitators. Crafted through various processes – be it mechanical, chemical, thermal, or a mix, geotextile boasts top-tier filtration, separation, and reinforcement capabilities, elevating the longevity and efficacy of construction projects.

Our geotextiles not only ensure load distribution and soil stabilization but also excel in erosion control and drainage. With a range of types available, we tailor our geotextile solutions to your unique project demands. Utilizing premium fibers and state-of-the-art production techniques, we ensure consistent and superior product quality.

Engineered to withstand varied environmental challenges, our geotextiles remain resilient against both biological and chemical degradation. And beyond just providing a product, we stand by you with technical guidance, aiding in geotextile selection, design insights, and installation best practices.

Choose our geotextiles for cost-effective, durable solutions across diverse civil engineering tasks, from roadworks to coastal defenses and beyond.

Geocomposite

Geocomposites seamlessly integrate various geosynthetic elements into multi-layered solutions, enhancing both performance and functionality. By merging multiple geosynthetic components based on the project’s requirement.  

These innovative materials simplify construction processes by consolidating diverse features like filtration, drainage, separation, and reinforcement into one efficient product. Especially adept for applications like landfill liners, drainage systems, and erosion control. Our Geocomposites stand out due to the synergy of their incorporated components.

Beyond multifunctionality, our Geocomposites promise superior water drainage capabilities. Their robust compressive strength and creep resistance ensure sustained drainage performance under various pressure conditions, ensuring project efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Geocell

Geocells showcase a unique three-dimensional, honeycomb-like design. Crafted primarily from durable materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE), these interconnected cells are filled with elements such as soil or aggregate, enhancing their load-bearing capabilities. Our Geocell solution excels in protecting slopes from erosion and finds extensive use in load support, retaining structures, and safeguarding slopes and channels. This results in a substantial boost to the performance of the encapsulated materials.

A standout feature is their on-site adaptability; Geocells can be effortlessly deployed and filled as needed, establishing a solid foundation that curbs soil erosion and stabilizes slopes. This makes them ideal for bolstering load capacity in diverse projects, including roads, embankments, and retaining walls.

With its potent confinement system, a Geocell augments the soil’s load-bearing prowess and minimizes erosion. Embracing a balance of structural support, environmental consciousness, and cost-effectiveness, Geocell emerges as a top choice for varied applications.

Geonet

A geonet is a type of material commonly used in engineering and environmental projects. It’s like a mesh that has connected ribs or strands creating a three network. Our Geonets are handy for improving soil drainage, filtration, controlling erosion, and reinforcing soil. They’re often placed between layers of soil to create a pathway for water to flow through while preventing the soil particles from blocking the drainage system.

These three-dimensional networks build an open, porous structure that enables the efficient flow of gases and liquids. High-density polyethylene (HDPE), a strong and environmentally friendly material that ensures the geonet’s lifetime and efficacy, is frequently used to make geonets.

Geonets are essential for improving soil stabilization, drainage systems, erosion management, and overall geotechnical engineering because of their distinctive structure and multifaceted capabilities.

Staple Fiber

Staple fiber refers to fibers of discrete length, typically processed from either natural or synthetic raw materials. These fibers are integral to a myriad of applications, ranging from textile weaving and knitting to non-woven industries. At Duralean, our staple fiber stands apart due to its impeccable quality. Our fibers ensure consistency, durability, and versatility, meeting the exacting demands of professionals across various industries. Choose our staple fiber for a superior blend of form and function.

Geosynthetic functions

These civil engineering applications and more are used to be in technical need for one or more geosynthetic material that can perform geosynthetic functions such as:

Separation

Separation is a process where Geotextiles are placed between two different types of soil or other materials in order to prevent them from mixing together.

Filtration

Geotextiles are also used in filtration applications, where they act as a barrier to prevent the movement of soil particles while allowing water to pass through

Drainage

Geotextiles are commonly used for drainage applications, allowing water to pass through while preventing soil particles from clogging the drainage system.

Protection

Geotextiles are also used for protection purposes in civil engineering and construction projects. They are installed as a barrier between different materials to prevent damage caused by abrasion, puncture, or chemical reactions.

Reinforcement

Geotextiles are commonly used as reinforcements, they are installed to improve the strength and stability of the soil or structure and to prevent soil erosion.

Vapor / Moisture Barrier

Geotextiles can also be used as vapor and moisture barriers in construction projects. They are installed to prevent moisture from penetrating into the soil or structure, which can cause damage over time.
