Geotextiles

Market Sectors

Landfill

Typical applications include:
• Basal liner protection
• Cap liner protection
• Settlement lagoon liner protection
• Landfill Engineering

The primary application of TERRAM Needlepunched Geotextiles in landfill construction is as a protection layer below the geomembrane liner, preventing damage occurring during stone placement and filling operations.

TERRAM Needlepunched Geotextiles provide excellent protection to the geomembrane and maintain its integrity by helping minimise environmental stress cracking and preventing puncture from the underlying subgrade from the stone drainage layer placed on top.

TERRAM Needlepunched Geotextiles can also be combined with both drainage and lining materials to form specialised geocomposite products designed for specific application. Typical materials that can be combined are geonets, geomembranes and band drains; utilising a combination of products means that protection materials can be offered with multiple functions thereby reducing installation times and costs on site.

Grass Mesh / Engineered Turf

TERRAM grass protection surfaces provide a naturally draining, reinforced and stabilised grassed surface. These reinforced grass surfaces are suitable for all types of traffic depending on the intensity of use. GRASSPROTECTA grass protection mesh is surface installed and allows the grass to grow through. The grass roots intertwine with the grass roots, protecting the surface from excessive wear and damage.

TERRAM Grass protection products are suitable for:

• Overflow grass car parks
• Grass paths
• Road verges
• Outdoor exhibition grounds
• Helipads and light aircraft taxiways

Cable & Pipeline Protection

TERRAM pipeline and utilities products are used extensively within the civil engineering industry to protect key assets.

Terram Protectamesh HD is a heavy duty flexible plastic rockshield mesh used in major pipeline projects to protect the steel pipe coating from backfill damage. It is designed to replace traditional protection methods, including sand. The mesh prevents stone in the backfill from abrading and puncturing the pipe\'s coating which would interrupt the cathodic protection system.

TERRAM cable protection products include plastic cable tiles, impact resistant tapes and plastic meshes that are designed to limit excavation impact damage, thus protecting the pipe or cable beneath.
