Tentoma

The RoRo StretchPack packaging machinery is popular for wrapping of nonwoven geotextiles and similar rolls. Horizontal packaging of rolls in a seamless tubular stretch film provides 100% waterproof, uniform rolls. The RoRo StretchPack offers a core plug applicator for automatic core plugging. RoRo StretchPack provides sustainable packaging solutions, and it stretches the film while packaging, which means users avoid excessive utilization of film. Customers have seen a reduction in film consumption by 25% to 60% compared to conventional wrapping products. 

Naue America, Inc. 

Combigrid geocomposites are geogrids with an integrated nonwoven geotextile component. Combigrid soil-reinforcement applications are base and subbase course stabilization and reinforcement, basal reinforcement for embankments, load transfer platforms (LTP) over piles, bridging of mining voids and sinkholes, reinforced foundations, airport runways and graded portions, working platforms, pipe trenches, and lagoons/tailing ponds. Combigrid combines reinforcement, stabilization, filtration, separation and drainage in one product. The geocomposite provides immediate interlock with fill material (no construction-related strain), high tensile stiffness, high radial stiffness and high cyclic tensile stiffness.

Tensar International Corp.

Tensar is now offering InterAx Geogrids that enhance infrastructure resiliency in conditions such as storms and floods, frost heave and expansive soils, liquefiable soils, and disaster recovery and rebuilding. InterAx achieves construction cost savings by stabilizing pavement foundations with reduced amounts of aggregate fill. A major part of InterAx geogrids is the creation of new design methods that precisely quantify the performance of stabilized aggregate layers in multiple applications. Tensar’s design software, Tensar+, helps engineers design with and specify InterAx. 

TYPAR Geosynthetics

TYPAR Geocells are used in slope protection applications to improve resistance to erosive forces on steep, unstable slopes exposed to severe hydraulic/mechanical stresses. In load support applications, TYPAR Geocells transfer downward forces laterally, reducing loads on underlying soils. This cellular confinement system is an ideal solution for stabilization over poor soil conditions, reducing constructed profile depth and cost, and protecting subsoils from compaction. TYPAR Geocells employ the strength and permeability of geotextiles to create a 3D cellular confinement system. 

TenCate Geosynthetics

Typical fields of application are gardening and landscaping, temporary path and road construction, embankment protection/natural waterway construction, coastal protection (single nonwoven geotextile layer or sand containers) and scour protection (sand containers). Secutex Green offers reduced transport emissions and improved CO₂ balance. Exclusively organic, natural and renewable raw materials are used in manufacturing.

AGRU America Inc.

Unlike existing methods of cleaning and preparing field welds, which rely on time-consuming manual inspections and cleaning, AGRU CleanSeam protective strip is removed before welding occurs and leaves behind no residue—only a clean, weld-ready geomembrane. AGRU CleanSeam can be integrated into all AGRU geomembranes to provide significant time and cost savings during the weld phase of geomembrane installation by mitigating the risk of particle buildup. The protective release film protects the geomembrane weld edges from exposure to field conditions.

TYPAR Geosynthetics

The Biobarrier root and weed control system stops root growth through the slow, controlled release of a nonsystemic herbicide that has been used in food crop production for more than 40 years. It is effective in applications such as protecting surface infrastructure (sidewalks, roads), building foundations and underground infrastructure (pipes, septic systems) from aggressive tree root damage. Biobarrier creates a continuous chemical and physical barrier against roots without impeding the flow of water, air and nutrients.

PRESTORUS LLC
