TenCate Geolon® & TenCate Rock® geosynthetics, TenCate Miragrid geogrids enhance the performance and the design life of roadway and railway construction structures such as roads, railways, airfields, and other earthworks in areas suffering from soft soils. TenCate Polyfelt® and TenCate Bidim® nonwoven geotextiles act as separation & filtration layers and provide tensile strength and elongation properties. TenCate geosynthetics provide significantly higher value than conventional road construction products, and their rapid, simple installation process greatly shortens construction schedules. We provides the most complete selection of geosynthetics, which allows them to be used in a variety of road and railway construction projects
- Roadways
In roadways, TenCate Geolon® PP & TenCate Rock® PEC geosynthetics are placed on top of soft sub-grades prior to placement of the granular sub-base layer. The geosynthetic prevents the loss of the granular sub-base material into the soft sub-grade, maintaining the structural integrity of the pavement. The use of TenCate geosynthetics thus extends the maintenance-free life of pavements constructed on soft sub-grades.
- Railways
In railway tracks, TenCate Rock® PEC geosynthetics are placed between the existing formation and the ballast layer to prevent the sub-grade from being pumped pumping into the ballast layer, thereby maintaining structural integrity. The use of a geosynthetic significantly increases the periods between track maintenance, with considerable savings in labor and material costs.
TenCate Bidim® AR withstands abrasion forces over many million load cycles - long enough to provide a whole package of benefits pursuing one goal: to ensure the safety and extend the working life of the track until such time as complete renewal is foreseen. Hence, the product revolutionizes the process of track refurbishment: with AR 20, complete refurbishment works can be avoided: considerable economies of cost and time are achieved.
