Geotextile Membranes Advice and Ground Reinforcement Blog
Use our articles to plan your project before you order. Ground conditions vary, and choosing the wrong membrane or reinforcement system can lead to settlement, blocked drainage, aggregate contamination or premature surface failure.
We regularly publish guidance on non woven and woven geotextile membranes, cellular confinement systems, porous paving grids and reinforcement mesh. You will also find advice on how to deal with clay sub grades, soft ground, high water tables and areas prone to trafficking or rutting.
Many failures occur because separation is overlooked, drainage is restricted or insufficient load support is provided within the build up. Our blog explains where each product sits within a typical construction layer, how much overlap is required and when heavier grades are justified.
If you are installing a driveway, patio, horse arena, turnout area or soakaway system, review the relevant guidance first. A small adjustment at the specification stage can reduce excavation depth, limit aggregate loss and improve long term performance.
If you remain unsure which product suits your application, use the blog as a starting point before speaking to us directly.
