Arbanassi Plc offers geotextiles produced of staple polyester or polypropylene fibres by needlepunch technology. They are mainly used as a reinforcement factor in variety of earth constructions. Technology of ground reinforcement performed with the use of geotextiles leads to faster, cheaper and more durable construction. Recent research has shown that earthworks using geotextiles as reinforcements can bring construction costs from 40 to 60 % below the usual technology costs.
Advantages:
- simplifying and shortening of earthworks
- lower quantity of other materials used
- better performance and longer lifetime of construction
Applications:
- road construction works, motorways, temporary roads, access roads
- waste dumps construction
- embankment reinforcement, batters, riverbanks, flood walls, retaining walls, water reservoir construction
- construction and repair of railway and streetcars track beds
- parking and landing field areas
 
Composition: 100% Polyester fibers or 100 % Polypropylene fibers
Confectioning: on rolls
