(FPTZOUIFUJDT?ZPV?DBO?USVTUGeocompositesGeocomposites are prefabricated drainage products which directly replace conventional granular ?ll. They normally consist of at least two different components; a three dimensional polymer core, which acts as the transport medium, and a geotextile ?lter fabric which allows liquids to pass into the core but prevents the surrounding ?ll from washing in and clogging the core.Geocomposites need to meet the following criteria??

These applications include green roofs, pervious paving systems, geocellular tanks, basement construction, geocellular con?nement and tree protection systems. Through the ongoing commitment to achieve sustainability within the built environment, geosynthetics are being incorporated into major infrastructure projects such as renewable energy schemes, on-shore wind farms and alternative forms of transport such as light rail networks.BESPOKE MANUFACTURINGTerram has a broad range of ‘off the shelf’ geocomposite products to cover most applications. However we are proud of our ability to manufacture bespoke products to suit speci?c applications for your project.At Terram we have forty years of experience of manufacturing geosynthetics for demanding applications throughout the global civil engineering industry.
