TenCate Geosynthetics Netherlands bv applications
Geosynthetics offer cost-effective, long-term solutions where conditions impose severe restrictions on road construction - where subsoils are poorly drained, or where the subgrade consists of cohesive, saturated and/or organic soil. Geosynthetics have also radically changed the way embankments, retaining walls, steep slopes, and even tunnels and bridges are constructed.
TenCate geosynthetics enhance the performance and the design life of railway construction structures. For these applications, a TenCate geosynthetic is installed as separation and filter layers in areas where groundwater is a problem. TenCate geosynthetics offer the ideal characteristics of robust mechanical properties coupled with high water flow capabilities.
Water is irreplaceable for life and for a great many businesses. It is a guarantee of survival and a scarce resource. Today`s society demands increasingly large volumes of increasingly high-quality water. TenCate Geosyntehtics has had a constant hand in the creation of water management infrastructure. In the last 20 years it has built more than 30 dams of a wide range of types and has used for that purpose the most modern of construction systems. TenCate filtration systems offer optimized hydraulic properties with high compression strength. Sensitive hydraulic structures - dams, dykes, canals, reservoirs - require perfect water control. Whether used to protect banks, around a drainage structure or against clay sealing cores, TenCate filtration geosynthetics achieve this level of requirement.
Historically, landfills have been the most common method of organized waste disposal and remain so in many places around the world. Landfills are essential applications to ensure long service life and prevent soil pollution. In industrial basins, TenCate protection geotextiles guarantee the protection of the geomembrane against all risks of mechanical damages. A cost effective and environmental friendly solution to sort, treat and recycle waste.
Need to increase the stability of your embankment? TenCate geosynthetics reinforce the shear stresses of the fill material leading to an increase of the foundation bearing capacity.
The world registers less than 3.5 million kms of pipelines in 120 countries. Pipelines conveying flammable or explosive material, such as natural gas or oil, pose special safety concerns. To avoid pipeline instability and damage caused by differential settlements, TenCate Geosynthetics EMEA offers you the optimum solution from its wide range of reinforcement geosynthetics: TenCate Geolon PET & PP, TenCate Miragrid GX & TenCate Rock PEC ranges.
Quicker, easier, safer transportation means are required. Depending on geographical zones, tunnels can be a must to reach your final destination easily. Decades of experience in tunnel constructions with TenCate Polyfelt P have shown that protection geotextiles replaces the need for drainage material around the tunnel lining.
In infrastructure projects in which space has to be saved or land acquisition minimized, TenCate Geosynthetic soil reinforcement technology has been used in the design and construction of steep slopes or walls. The use of this technology increases the stability of such structures.
TenCate Geotube technology helps to dewater and contain contaminated sediments in rivers, bays, harbors, marinas, ports, dock facilities, hydro basins and other waterways. In many cases, these sediments pose significant environmental hazards, and remediation is a difficult and expensive task.
TenCate Geotube technology provides cost-effective and efficient dewatering and containment in the mining and mineral processing industry. In mining and mineral processing (mine tailings, coal sludge, etc), TenCate Geotube dewatering technology enables the recovery of valuable materials, provides structural stability, improves water quality, or reduces storage footprint by sometimes 50 to 80%. Conditioners or polymers are normally used to promote flocculation to improve dewatering rates, solids retention, filtrate quality and increase in solids consolidation within the tubes.
