Product Advantages and Applications
P is the ideal geotextile for protection of geomembranes.
■ P prevents direct contact of pointed stones with a mem-brane. The combination of product density and thickness reduces any such stresses which otherwise might punc-ture or tear the membrane.
■ P avoids high friction forces between gravel and membra-ne on slopes.
■ The permeability in the plane of P allows draining of water and gases.
P geotextiles are best suitable for protection purposes due to the special production technology.
■ The production process allows the use of high quality polypropylene only. This raw material is resistant to all chemical and biological agents usually occurring in soils and building materials. Polypropylene cannot be dissolved in water thus has no negative infl uence on ground water.
■ P is especially stabilised against UV radiation to allow prolonged exposure to climate.
■ P shows high tensile strength at low elongation to reduce deformation of membranes and to better maintain its protection effect.
■ P has high tensile strength to reduce risk of slipping failure on slopes.
The benefi ts of P at a glance:• High protection effi ciency• Excellent chemical and biological
resistance• High tensile strength at low elongation

Product Advantages and Applications
F is eminently suited as fi lter layer under the revetment. ■ The stability of the coast line or river bank
is ensured as fi ne soil particles cannot be eroded by waves and currents.
■ Free fl ow between ground water and the open water is ensured preventing the build up of hydraulic pressure that could endanger the stability of the revetment.
■ Installation is easier and less expensive than mineral fi lter layers.
■ While mineral fi lters have to be adapted to the local soil conditions of the particu-lar coastal area F can be used for nearly all types of soil.
F consists of two layers of geo-textiles.
■ The grey layer is designed as fi lter layer. It permits the retention of fi ne soil parti-cles and simultaneously maintains high water permeability. The fi lter behaviour is defi ned by the number of constrictions which is dependent on fi bre diameter, geo-textile opening size and thickness. Geo-textiles with more than 40 constrictions (e.g. thicker fi lter fabrics) tend to clog. Therefore F is equipped with a second geotextile layer to keep the thickness of the fi lter layer within the optimum range and at the same time allow it to accomo-date high mechanical stress.
■ The blue layer is designed as protec-tion layer. It prevents the fi lter layer from being damaged during installation and service life. This layer has a larger opening size compared to the fi lter layer so that it will not interfere in the fi ltration process and thus minimize the risk of clogging.
A geotextile fi lter system …
3 … guarantees free passage of water.

The PP range at 60 kN/m and above is charac-terized by an extremely high modulus, giving the advantage of utilizing high forces in the geosynthetic at low elongation. This will result in less deformation than with regular woven geotextiles.
Other advantages of Geolon PP are the high UV-resistance, it is chemically inert, and can easily be prefabricated into large panels for simple installation.
Main application areas are road and railway constructions, embankment foundations,
temporary retaining soil structures and other applications for which not only the separation function of the geosynthetic is important but moreover the reinforc-ing tensile strength of the material is also signifi cant.

Product Advantages and Applications
Rock PEC has been developed to combine the functions reinforcement, confi nement, separation, fi ltration and drainage in one product. The combination of reinforcement and drainage makes Rock PEC perfectly suitable to reinforce soil structures which are constructed with intermediate or fi ne soils. These types of soil are often locally available, but tend to be susceptible to porewater pres-
sure build up and are normally not suitable to build steep reinforced soil structures. The excellent drainage or in-plane permeability of the PEC enables an accelerated dissipation of excess pore water pressure and consequent increase in shear strength. Compared to geogrids or woven geosynthetics, this results in signifi cantly higher short term soil strength characteristics and hence buildability. Rock
PEC facilitates construction with these soils and shortens installation time.Due to the better creep resistance of polyester in comparison with polypropylene and poly-ethylene, Rock PEC permits a more eco-nomical design. The non woven protects the reinforcing yarns against mechanical damage during installation further improving the long term design strength of the product.

Not only in reinforced soil structures, but also in road and railway applications, Rock PEC products provide the ideal combina-tion of functions. It separates the granular base course layer from the soft and possibly saturated subgrade, maintaining the mechani-cal and physical properties and the effective thickness of the base course over a longer service period. The unique fi lter and drainage capability of Rock PEC allows free water fl ow,
enabling accelerated dissipation of excess pore water pressure. Besides, it prevents mi-gration (pumping) of fi ne soil particles from the subgrade into the base course. Stabilisation of the subgrade and reinforcement of the base course layer is provided by the high strength polyester yarns. In effect the PEC does the job of a separation geotextile and a geogrid combined.
This results in the following benefi ts for road- and railway applications:■ Improved service life■ Equivalent performance with reduced
base course thickness■ Minimized disturbance of subgrade■ Provide access and constructability over
very soft surfaces■ Establish a well-compacted non
yielding platform
Rock PEC products are fl exible and easy to install. Their surface structure and fl exibility ensure excellent soil interaction.

Product Advantages and Applications
The way Miragrid GX is manufactured has two major advantages. Firstly the machine direction ribs are in a straight line, leading to minimal initial strain, mostly referred to as construction strain (it’s the percentage which a product elongates before actual tensile strength is mobilized). Secondly, all the junctions are knitted fi rmly together, and with the specially developed coating, Miragrid GX is a very stable yet fl exible geogrid. Miragrid is light weight and sup-plied on 5,2 m wide rolls. They are easily cut to the required length, easily installed and do
not have sharp edges, unlike rigid geogrids. Especially in higher tensile strength areas, the recoiling effect of rigid geogrids, the time to cut the material and the risk of injuries to the workers makes installation much less satisfactory than with Miragrid.
Miragrid GX has been specially designed for reinforcement of granular, fi ne to coarse-grained non-cohesive soils. The use of high tenacity polyester yarns result in excellent creep resistance, and the high molecular weight also makes the yarns resistant to the
potential degrading effects of hydrolysis and chemical attack for the range of pH normally encountered in reinforced soil environments. Due to the open structure and the rough sur-face of the grid the soil to geosynthetic fric-tional interaction is optimised. This improves the performance of the geogrid via better shearing and pull out resistance which en-ables even more economic Miragrid based designs.
For segmental concrete block wall applica-tions, Miragrid GX geogrids can easily be in-

tegrated in a wide variety of facing systems to provide a superior and structurally sound fi nished wall. The connection capacity, which often utilises the frictional interface between Miragrid geogrid and various block types, ensures optimal strength mobilization and thus cost-effective design.
Miragrid GX is primarily used for reinforce-ment of retaining walls, bridge abutments and steep reinforced slopes. The biaxial versions of Miragrid GX are used to stabilise roads and other traffi cked areas. In landfi ll construction Miragrid geogrids are often used to reinforce the mineral seals and prevent slope slippage and instability of the cover soil.

Product Advantages and Applications
Envirofelt CO prevents surface erosion on steep slopes and provides optimum support for the long lasting growth of vegetation. The mat retains humus and by doing this helps plants through the critical rooting phase.As a result of the natural rotting process of the
coconut fi bres, Envirofelt CO acts additionally as a fertiliser which promotes plant growth. The product lifespan of up to fi ve years guarantees a very adequate rooting phase. In the process, natural vegetation can grow freely and take over the task of ground stabilisation.
TenCate Polyfelt Envirofelt CO TenCate Polyfelt Envirofelt CO is made from 100% natural, biodegradable coconut fi bres (coir). The biodegradation process of the coir adds organic nutrients to the soil, thus acting as fertilizer. Envirofelt CO has the necessary strength to hold soil in place, thereby preventing surface erosion.

Cleaning of the road surface.
Filling of cracks (> 4 mm) and pot-holes.
The total effective tack-coat quan-tity of 1.2 kg/m2 is evenly applied over the whole area, extending max. 10 cm over the edge of the geocomposite to be installed. The type of the tack-coat depends on the climatic conditions and on the type of asphalt overlay to be used.

Installation of the paving felt starts after curing of the emul-sion has began, as this small quantity cannot bleed through. PGM is laid into the tack-coat by unrolling using specially designed laying equipment. Pretensioning is not necessary.
Even distribution of the second tack coat quantity (B), consisting of parts B1 and B2:• B1 is required to saturate the paving felt
– approx. 0.8 kg/m2 of 70% emulsion.• B2 is required to embed the chippings. The
quantity to be applied varies accor ding to the recommendations of the emulsion producer, and depends on the quality, quantity, shape and size of the chippings to be used – as for conventional surface dressing applications.
• Immediately after application of the emul-sion on top of the paving felt, the required quantity of chippings is spread evenly. This is followed by compaction, preferably with rubber-tyred rollers.
• In the case of double or multi-layered surface dressings, it must be assured that the tack-coat of the second layer is in full contact with the fi rst layer.
• After a period of 1 to 3 days, excess chip-pings should be removed using appropriate road-sweeping equipment.
• In the case of spot maintenance, the pa ving felt can be laid into the uncured emulsion, after which the surface is covered with sand to allow temporary traffi c.
The hot-rolled asphalt (min. thick-ness 40 mm) can be installed immediately after the unrolling of PGM-G.• It is recommended to use
crawler-type pavers.• The temperature of the asphalt
mix must not exceed 160°C during installation. This nor-mally corresponds to a mixing temperature of max. 190°C.
• At high ambient temperatures, or if an excess of tack-coat bleeds throught, sticking of the tyres of the paver of trucks can be avoided by spreading asphalt mix or chippings into the wheel paths.

TenCate Polyfelt PGM-GTenCate Polyfelt PGM-G is a high-strength geocomposite consisting of a mechanically bonded continuous-fi lament nonwoven made from 100% polypropylene and reinforced glass fi laments.
DESIGN PRINCIPLE-) The calculation is based on a comparison between the result of standard calculations for pavement rehabilitation and acalculaton using a so called fabric effectiveness factor (FEF). The result of the comparison is the extende lifetime of thestructure due to the use of the geosynthetic material.The pavement calculations are done according to the manual series 17 (MS 17) of the Asphalt institute (USA) or accordingto a mixture out of MS 17 and the RVS 3.63 (Austria).The FEF is evaluated by laboratory testing. Test according to „Simulation testing of geotextile membranes for refl ectivecracking“ Proceeding out of the 2nd Int. conf. geotextiles Vol.2.

Product Advantages and Applications
Glass fi bre reinforced and combined with the optimum bitumen-retention capacity of a mechanically bonded geotextile, PGM-G achieves a signifi cant reduction in the formation of refl ective cracking.
PGM-G is used when high in-plane forces in the underlayer construction are present (with resulting high stress levels).
