Ünsa Woven Geotextiles
Ünsa offers a wide range of high quality permeable woven geotextiles for the solutions in road construction, civil engineering and environmental engineering projects. The geotextiles that are manufactured of high quality polypropylene slit tapes can be produced in the required specifications and sizes to fit specific projects.
Ünsa Woven Geotextiles are manufactured, tested and marked in accordance with the EN standards while they are CE marked and comply fully with the Construction Product Directive.
Application areas:
- Paved and unpaved roads
- Railways
- Landfill
- Hydraulic engineering
- Reinforced earth structures
Advantages of Ünsa Woven Geotextiles :
- Avoid expensive soil reinforcement
- Reduce construction costs
- Easy handling and faster progress in projects
- Regain building land
- Protect the environment
- Easy and cost effective transport
Functions of Ünsa Woven Geotextiles:
Separation
- Separating the aggregate base and the subgrade
- Keeping expensive aggregates apart from soft ground
- Prevents intermixing of construction layers.
- Maintains construction thicknesses
Filtration
- Small enough to control soil particle movement
- Large enough to avoid clogging and maintain water flow
- Creates bridging zone to promote natural soil filtration
- Helps restrict the movement of soil fines within the water flow
Drainage
- Allows water to pass through into a filter drain without carrying fine soil particles
- Offers high water flows with relatively large pore size distribution
Reinforcement
- Reinforcing over weak subgrades.
- Absorb stresses that occur when heavy loads pass over the road
- Increase the bearing capacity of low strength subgrade.
- In the reinforced earth structures Ünsa geotextiles provide increased slope stability and prevent sliding failure.
Erosion protection
- Protects the bank soil.
- High resistance to static and dynamic puncture when placed in coastal corrosion protection worksites
- Effective anchorage in the construction attained through frictional interlock.
