What is drainage geocomposite?
TERRAM Drainage Composites collect and convey both liquids and gases. They are manufactured by bonding a compression resistant net core between two geotextile filters or between a geotextile and a geomembrane.
What is Terram membrane?
Terram membrane is a geotextile membrane with industry leading hydraulic and technical properties to deal with all requirements of ground stabilisation, ground protection and filtration and separation. The Terram membrane is used to protect against the loss of building aggregates into a soakaway system.
Where can I use Terram?
The Terram membrane is used to protect against the loss of building aggregates into a soakaway system….Used in the building of:
- Paved and unpaved roads.
- Railways.
- Car parks and hardstandings.
- Cycleways and footpaths.
- SuDS installations.
- Green roofs.
- Ground stabilisation.
- Ground Protection.
Why is Terram used?
TERRAM geotextiles are predominantly used for separation and filtration of fill materials preventing intermixing and extending the service life of unbound materials. TERRAM geotextiles can also be used to provide puncture resistance and reinforcement in certain applications.
How do you cut Tuftex?
Cutting: Cut single panels of TUFTEX with a pair of snips or heavy duty scissors. Multiple panels may be cut using a circular saw with a plywood blade reversed or a fine-tooth handsaw. Side Laps and End Laps: Seal all side laps and end laps with a silicone sealer, vinyl adhesive or PVC cement.
What is a geocomposite drainage system?
A geocomposite is a two-part prefabricated drainage system consisting of a formed polystyrene core covered on one side with either a woven or nonwoven filter fabric (depending upon the application). The fabric allows water to pass into the drain core while restricting the movement of soil particles that might clog the core.
How do geocomposites work?
The fabric allows water to pass into the drain core while restricting the movement of soil particles that might clog the core. In vertical applications (retaining walls, foundation drainage, chimney drainage, etc.) geocomposites reduce hydrostatic pressure and convey groundwater away from the structure and towards designated drainage exits.
How do geocomposites reduce hydrostatic pressure?
In vertical applications (retaining walls, foundation drainage, chimney drainage, etc.) geocomposites reduce hydrostatic pressure and convey groundwater away from the structure and towards designated drainage exits.
Why ABG geocomposite?
ABG are the leading manufacturer of geocomposite drainage layers, pioneering and supplying an unrivalled range of multi-layer geosynthetic components for the cost effective and sustainable management of water in environmental, structural, earthworks, SuDS and roof drainage applications.
