When it comes to selecting the ideal geosynthetic drainage products, such as sheet drains and strip drains, there are several factors to consider. One such aspect is the fire retardancy of the materials used. This refers to the material’s ability to resist ignition, reduce the spread of flames, and limit…
Sheet drains, featuring cuspated or dimpled plastic cores wrapped in geotextile fabric, serve a crucial role in managing water flow in various construction scenarios, from foundation walls to podium decks. The design of these drains, with either a single or double dimpled core, creates a void space, allowing water to…
Biaxial and uniaxial geogrids are two types of geosynthetic materials used in civil engineering for soil stabilization, reinforcement, and erosion control. The main difference between them is their orientation of strength. Biaxial geogrids have strength in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. This means that they can distribute forces more…
For a country that consumes over six hundred million tonnes of grain a year optimising grain storage capacity is a major priority for China. Up to 100 million tonnes are stored outdoors and losses are substantial. China has added 82.5 million tonnes of grain storage capacity in the past five…
