Geotess® for landfills and water basins
EN 13257
Characteristics required for use in solid waste disposals
EN 13265
Characteristics required for use in liquid waste containment projects
The bottom barrier appears to be the most sensitive component of the whole system dump “as responsible for the protection of the soil from contaminants that may be more or less dangerous to the environment. Specifically in relation to the degree of hazard of the material and of the surrounding environment, Tessilbrenta proposes Geotess®, the geotextile barrier against puncturing of the waterproofing membrane. With Geotess® you can achieve not just the maximum safety but also the maximum functionality and constructions efficiency. The series Geotess® offers the ultimate guarantee in terms of filtration and protection; allows you to design – in every situation and circumstance – the best system can satisfy the highest design standards in compliance with applicable international and EU norms.”
Geotess® for tunnels
EN 13256
Characteristics required for use in the construction of tunnels and underground structures.
Geotess® types are characterized by a random fibres distribution in order to achieve a homogeneous matrix. The fibers used are made of high tenacity PP short fiber. As part of the construction of the tunnel Geotess® is proposed for different applications with a mass per unit area of 500 g / sqm to 800 g / sqm. It is normally used to protect the waterproofing membrane and can act as a filter and drainage system. On request it can be made with fire resistant fibres to match the DIN 4102 Class B2.
Geotess® for Coastal erosion prevention
EN 13253
Characteristics required for use in erosion control external systems.
EN 13254
Characteristics required for use in the construction of reservoirs and dams.
EN 13254
Characteristics required for use in the construction of canals.
The flood events of recent years have demonstrate, how the intervention on rivers with traditional techniques, often not only is ineffective but even counterproductive. It is now recognized that the design of hydraulic defense should be done without altering the nature excessively, in order to obtain the expected results. Geotess® is the answer to the designer to solve some problems of management and water protection in both fluvial and marine, always respecting as much as possible the environmental balance. Geotess® geotextiles reduce the erosion on the banks, stabilize the banks of canals and ditches, create a filter layer and separator in bank protection, build coastal defense in marine works.
