Hydraulic works
Fibertex Geotextiles are designed for use in all fields of hydraulic works, including coastal protection, harbour construction, artificial lakes, dams, river banks and canals, as well as water reservoirs.
The characteristic opening size of our geotextiles is designed to retain particles, while allowing free movement of water, making it possible to separate different layers during intense hydraulic activity. This cost-efficient system also offers protection of water-proofing membranes and other sealing materials in man-made lakes and water reservoirs.
Coastal protection
Fibertex Geotextiles protect the coast line as their flexibility and permeability ensure withstanding of the impact of waves and currents, preventing erosion and washing out of fines.
Dams
Artificial dams and embankments need to be fortified with strong materials to resist the forces of nature. Fibertex Geotextiles stabilise and prevent washing out of fines.
Harbour constructions
Fibertex Geotextiles placed behind the retaining wall keep the drainage layer clean which relieves the hydraulic presssure on the wall. When placed in front of the retaining wall, Fibertex Geotextiles prevent washing out of the sea bed.
River banks and canals
Fibertex Geotextiles protect river banks and canals in an effective and environmentally friendly way.
Artificial lakes
The waterproof membrane is protected against perforation with Fibertex Geotextiles.
Water reservoirs
Fibertex Geotextiles protect the waterproof membrane against perforation.
