Tunnels connect us, provide vital transportation arteries, and unlock hidden resources. Yet, their construction faces formidable foes: groundwater infiltration, soil movement, and pressure buildup. These elements can compromise tunnel integrity, posing safety risks and jeopardizing project success.

Area of Application

Water Proofing
Drainage

GeoSynthetics Solutions

Geotextile

These woven or non-woven fabrics, woven from synthetic fibers like polyester or polypropylene, play multiple roles

Filtration: By allowing water to pass through while filtering out soil particles, geotextiles prevent clogging of drainage systems and maintain soil stability.
Separation: They act as barriers, separating different soil layers and preventing their intermixing, crucial for tunnel stability.
Protection: Geotextiles shield tunnel linings from abrasion and puncture caused by rocks and construction materials.

Econet Composites

These three-dimensional structures, formed from intersecting plastic ribs, excel at drainage

High Flow Capacity: Their open channels efficiently collect and channel water away from the tunnel walls, preventing seepage and pressure buildup.
Durability: Manufactured from robust polymers, geonets withstand high loads and harsh underground conditions.
Versatility: They can be combined with geotextiles for enhanced filtration and protection, creating a complete drainage solution.

Using geosynthetics geotextiles and econet composite is an investment in a safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsible future for tunneling projects. Let these innovative materials be the foundation for robust and enduring connections through the heart of the earth.
