Main applications of geotextiles
GEOMATRIX FORTEX high modulus woven geotextiles are woven with fibers of the exclusive G5 Multifilament of High Tenacity Polyester (PET), characterized by high mechanical and hydraulic performance. Its structure is defined by the weft insertion technique, which gives it a rapid response in tension to deformations of the…
