Geosynthetics for Geotechnics
Geomatrix high-tenacity polyester geosynthetics are high-performance materials specially designed to provide technical and economic advantages, in the reinforcement of soils in the conformation of earthen structures. This solution has been positioning itself thanks to its ease of application for projects with difficult access, compressible foundation soils, low bearing capacity and susceptible to erosion, among others.
Usage
Recommended products
Reinforcements for foundations and industrial floors
Placing multiple layers of geosynthetic reinforcement between layers of compacted soil significantly increases bearing capacity. This effect is used to improve the supporting soil in the construction of shallow foundations in soft soil areas.

Dikes and relaxes
The inclusion of layers of geosynthetic reinforcement between layers of compacted soil increases the shear strength of the whole, achieving geotechnically stable structures that are resistant to hydrodynamic conditions.

Retaining walls in reinforced soil
The inclusion of layers of geosynthetic reinforcement, between layers of compacted soil, increases the shear strength of the whole, achieving the conformation of block-shaped structures that act as gravity retaining walls, typically with a slope on the face between the vertical and 70 degrees.

slopes
The inclusion of layers of geosynthetic reinforcement between layers of compacted soil increases the shear strength of the whole, allowing the construction of embankments with slopes greater than the angle of repose with adequate safety factors according to the project conditions.

Bridge approach embankments
The inclusion of layers of geosynthetic reinforcement, between layers of compacted soil, increases the shear strength of the whole, achieving the formation of a soil block that acts as a gravity retaining wall, typically with a slope on the face between the vertical and 70 degrees, used as bridge approach embankments.

Embankments on soft or expansive soils
The inclusion of layers of geosynthetic reinforcement in the interface between the natural soil and the embankment increases the resistance to failure due to bearing capacity while stabilizing the supporting soil for the construction of the structure.
