Axter Coletanche Inc.

AXTER is a leading manufacturer of bituminous geomembrane COLETANCHE® used to waterproof civil engineering projects. Its high performance and adaptability to all types of terrain and climates means that it can be installed without a protection layer for a variety of applications including environment: solid and liquid waste, mining, biogas barriers; hydraulics: dams, canals, basins; transport: bridges, roadside ditches, airports, railway lines; and underground construction: walls, tunnels. COLETANCHE ES and XP are unique bituminous waterproofing solutions thanks to their large width (5.10m) and their longevity: they’re designed to guarantee excellent mechanical, chemical and climatical (even with extreme weather conditions) resistance. Their composition gives a remarkable dimensional stability and flexibility, guaranteeing permanent contact with all covering materials and the supporting ground through the years, even on steeper slopes.

TYPAR Geosynthetics

The BIOBARRIER root and weed control system manages roots through the slow, controlled release of Trifluralin, a non-systemic herbicide that has been used in food crop production for more than 40 years. Nodules containing Trifluralin are through-injection-molded durable TYPAR GEOTEXTILE fabric, creating a continuous chemical and physical barrier against roots without impeding the flow of water, air or nutrients. Roots growing into the zone of inhibition are stopped, not just redirected. Used vertically, the BIOBARRIER root control system protects adjacent structures from root damage. Installed horizontally below 3” of stone/wood mulch, the BIOBARRIER weed control system blocks weed establishment using two layers of defense: chemical and physical. BIOBARRIER Surround System, BIOBARRIER’S unique geotextile design, lends it the flexibility to surround infrastructure, extending the life of your investment.

Renegade Plastics

Renegade’s polypropylene-based coated fabrics offer a new tool to geomembrane installers and users. As a coated woven fabric, users get the strength benefits of PVC fabrics and coated non-wovens; but with the non-toxic, lightweight and flexible characteristics of woven poly and engineered films. Applications include tarps, ground liners, pond liners, construction liners, ditch liners, temporary construction plastic, cone pile covers, fabric structures, etc.

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.

Afitex-Texel Geosynthetics

DRAINTUBE LFG is a multi-linear drainage geocomposite composed of perforated mini-pipes regularly spaced between two geotextiles layers. DRAINTUBE can be used in multiple landfill applications, including landfill gas collection on final covers, fugitive gas collection on temporary covers, and horizontal LFG collection in the waste mass. DRAINTUBE can also be used in a sub-slab-depressurization system under buildings (for Radon or VOC mitigation). A Quick Connect System has been developed to positively connect the DRAINTUBE LFG to the main header pipe, limiting the head losses and improving the gas collection rate. DRAINTUBE LFG offers a more significant zone of influence to collect the gas and stable long-term performances. Rolls of DRAINTUBE LFG measure 13.1’ x 246’ and are light and easy to install.

Thrace Group

Thrace Group geogrids/geocomposites can be used both to decrease the fill material thickness and to increase the bearing capacity of the underlying soil material. The apertures of the biaxial geogrids aid in aggregate interlock thus allowing for effective reinforcement and soil confinement. Geogrids can also be used to construct mattresses to be placed on soft soils. Geogrid composites also offer separation and filtration functions in addition to the function of reinforcement. With the strategic geographic dispersion of member companies, enhanced logistics and improved lead times are secured to ensure fast and reliable product deliveries even for smaller order quantities. Converting over 100,000 tons of PP, PE and PET polymers through a vertically integrated business model attains unique cost advantages that are passed on to customers through value-for-money products.

The coated fabrics are available in two designs: potable water NSF 61 applications, and hydrocarbon and chemical-resistant applications. ER 1000 EIA/KEE are reinforced with a ballistic-grade, tightly woven polyester base fabric utilizing polymer blending to create a strong EIA copolymer alloy. ER 1000 fabrics offer excellent resistance to extreme weather conditions, chemicals, abrasion and punctures, as well as high UV stability. 

Afitex-Texel Geosynthetics

GEOTER is a high-modulus geotextile made with high tenacity yarns, manufactured by a warp knitting process. The geotextile provides the separation/filtration function, whereas the high-tenacity yarns provide tensile strength of up to 2,000 kN/m (137,043 lb/ft). GEOTER is used for reinforcement applications including but not limited to piggyback landfills, sinkhole safety systems, reinforcement on soft soils, MSE walls, etc. GEOTER combines a reinforcement and a separation/filtration geotextile into one product, saving you installation time and money. The next generation of GEOTER pairs GEOTER with the PREDITEC systems and allows the user to monitor a reinforced structure. The GEOTER PREDITEC system can send alerts if anything unexpected happens, such as a deformation exceeding the user’s maximum value. This technology allows the user to detect a potential failure early and initiate corrective measures to secure the structure and protect safety, health and wellbeing.

Propex Geosolutions

PYRAMAT® 75 HPTRM and PYRAMAT® 25 TRM are now engineered to mitigate fire risk and increase the resilience of wildfire-prone areas using non-halogen fire retardant technology. Non-halogenated flame retardants work by interfering with the chemistry of the flame, producing less heat and suppressing smoke. Additionally, they don’t pose the associated health and environmental concerns as halogenated retardants. Testing confirms that this technology has a zero-burn rate and is self-extinguishing. Primary applications are erosion control and slope stabilization for areas prone to wildfires, high-risk fire zones, railbeds, landfills, defensible spaces and burn scar remediation.
