Building a level and lasting sports field or open platform requires keeping the foundation stone completely separate from the soft soil underneath. Over time, heavy traffic and rain can cause the mud below to mix into the clean gravel layer above, causing the surface to sag, shift, and become uneven.

In this project, bidim® geotextiles are used to solve this issue directly. Acting as a durable separation barrier, this fabric prevents mud from rising into the stone layer while letting water drain through, ensuring a firm, stable, and flat surface for years to come.

Prevents contamination: Keeps your structural stone clean and free of mud to stop uneven ground settling.

Effective drainage: Allows water to pass through freely, keeping the foundation dry and stable.

When heavy trucks and machinery drive over unconfined gravel surfaces, the stones quickly push outward and shift out of place. This movement creates deep ruts, uneven surfaces, and weak spots that require constant re-grading and maintenance.

Multi-Cell® HD offers a highly effective solution for stabilising heavy-use platforms and roadways. The interlocking cellular structure locks the stone infill firmly in place, creating a rigid, high-strength mattress that resists shifting and easily supports heavy industrial traffic.

- Locked-In Strength: Keeps gravel and stone securely confined within the cells to eliminate shifting and rutting.

- Long-Lasting Performance: Creates a highly stable driving surface that significantly reduces the need for ongoing maintenance.

When soil is packed behind concrete retaining walls, trapped water can build up a massive amount of hidden pressure. Over time, this hydrostatic force can push against the structure, causing cracks, movement, and serious damage.

WickDrain® drainage strips offer a smart, reliable way to keep these structures dry and safe. Placed vertically against the wall before backfilling, these specialized strips capture water and channel it away quickly, preventing pressure buildup and extending the life of the wall.

Structure Protection: Removes trapped water to stop heavy pressure from building up behind walls.

Simple, Fast Installation: Lightweight rolls replace traditional gravel layers, reducing on-site labor and material costs.

Building long-lasting sidewalks alongside main roads can be a slow process, often requiring tedious wooden molds and thick foundations to prevent the concrete from cracking over time.

Multi-Cell® PP simplifies the job by providing a built-in honeycomb frame right on the soil. Filled directly with concrete, it creates a tough, flexible paved surface that moves slightly with the ground instead of cracking, giving communities a durable pathway with less effort.

Saves time: The grid acts as its own ready-made mold, allowing teams to pour concrete much faster.

Longer-Lasting paths: Helps prevent large cracks and structural shifting, keeping the sidewalk smooth and safe for pedestrians.

When building ponds, reservoirs, or containment cells, protecting the waterproof bottom liner is a major priority. Dumping heavy drainage stone directly onto a bare liner can cause immediate tears and leaks, ruining the entire installation.

bidim® geotextiles act as a thick protective shield between the liner and the stone. This high-quality fabric cushions the liner against the weight and sharp edges of the aggregate, ensuring the waterproof barrier remains completely undamaged during and after construction.

- Shielding barriers: Cushions underlying liners from heavy construction loads and sharp rocks.

- Leak prevention: Protects against puncture damage to keep containment systems completely secure.

Protecting coastal properties and dunes from crashing waves is a constant challenge for developers and municipalities. Hard concrete structures can be destructive to build and often fail when water washes the sand out from underneath them.

EnviroRock® geocontainers provide a stable and environmentally conscious alternative. Filled with sand on-site, these large, heavy-duty geotextile bags form a flexible protective wall that absorbs the impact of the waves and safely keeps the coastline in place.

- UV Protection: Designed with sand-trapping fibers that protect the fabric from harsh sunlight once covered by sand.
- Durable Stability: Adapts directly to the shifting ground to stay securely in place against coastal erosion.

Water loss through seepage is a common issue in dam construction, especially when natural clay is unavailable or poor in quality. Without a reliable seal, reservoirs can lose significant volume, leading to increased costs and wasted resources.

EnviroFix® GCL offers a durable and efficient solution for lining dams. This advanced liner uses a specialised bentonite layer that expands when wet to create a waterproof barrier, providing a robust and easy-to-install alternative to traditional earth-sealing methods.

Reliable Leak Protection: The core swells to close small gaps and ensure a watertight finish for years to come.

Faster Installation: One roll of EnviroFix® replaces many truckloads of clay, saving time and money during construction.

Building a secure landfill requires protecting the bottom liner from damage during construction. Sharp rocks used in drainage layers can easily puncture the waterproof barrier, leading to potential leaks and environmental contamination.

bidim® geotextiles offer a robust solution by acting as a protective shield for the liner. This thick, durable fabric cushions the barrier against heavy loads and sharp stones, while also keeping soil and waste from clogging the leachate drainage pipes.

- Barrier Safety: Protects the primary liner from mechanical damage and punctures.

- System Longevity: Prevents fine materials from blocking the drainage system, ensuring the landfill stays secure.

Building on saturated or waterlogged sites presents significant challenges for maintaining foundation stability. Wet ground often cannot support the weight of heavy equipment, leading to deep rutting and potential project delays.

RockGrid® PC offers a technical solution by providing both reinforcement and drainage in a single application. The high-strength grid stabilizes the surface, while the attached fabric allows water to drain away, maintaining the integrity of the soil even in wet conditions.

- Integrated Drainage: Built-in fabric allows water to pass through to keep the foundation stable.

- Structural Support: High-strength reinforcement prevents the road or platform from sinking into soft ground.

Building roads on soft ground is a major challenge, as heavy trucks can easily sink or create deep ruts in the surface. Traditional methods of fixing this usually involve excavating large amounts of soil and replacing it with expensive layers of stone.

RockGrid® PC offers a more efficient solution by adding a high-strength reinforcement layer to the ground. This helps spread the weight of heavy machinery more evenly, preventing the surface from shifting and allowing you to build a stable, long-lasting road with much less aggregate.

- Enhanced Strength: Increases the ground's ability to support heavy loads without sinking.

- Cost Savings: Reduces the amount of expensive stone and transport required for the foundation.
