A geocomposite is a combination of geogrid and nonwoven fabric and is a technical composite material widely used in civil and structural engineering.

Product Description: Geogrid-Nonwoven Combination

The combination of geogrid and nonwoven fabric (also known as a combination grid or combination mat) combines the advantages of both materials in a single product that performs reinforcement/stabilization as well as separation and filtering functions.

Geogrid Component

Material:

Typically made of high-modulus polyester yarns or polypropylene yarns with a polymer or PVC coating, or of uncoated polypropylene (PP).

Functions:

Reinforcement: Increases the bearing capacity of the soil.

Stabilization: Prevents soil displacement and improves load distribution.

Deformation Resistance: Reduces settlement and cracking.

Nonwoven Component

Material:

Typically made of bonded polypropylene or polyester fibers.

Functions:

Separation: Prevents the mixing of different soil layers.

Filtration: Allows water to pass through but retains soil particles.

Protection: Serves as a protective layer for sensitive waterproofing or other geosynthetics.

Applications

Road and path construction
Railway embankments
Support structures
Landfill and drainage systems
Rivet and slope protection
