This range is specially designed for reinforcement of embankments on soft soils, road foundations, supporting structures, fills and slopes.
In addition, the F PET range has a backing of woven polypropylene (PP) geotextile to provide enhanced separation, filtration and protection characteristics.
Geoter provides high strength at low strains and is designed to perform over extended lifespans of 100+ years. The Geoter F PET and W PET ranges are NZTA approved and the data sheets detail appropriate factors for design.
Please contact Cirtex® for additional information and design support.
Geoter is a polyester geotextile and is available in much higher strength grades. Polyester has superior long-term strain properties. Therefore, Geoter is better suited to long-term applications under high loads, such as basal reinforcement for embankments over soft soils.
DuraForce WG is a polypropylene geotextile designed for separation and reinforcement in short-term load applications such as pavements and haul roads.
No, one continuous run must be laid over the reinforced area.
This is decided by the design engineer and depends primarily on how soft the underlying ground is. 300mm is a standard overlap but on soft ground more may be required to ensure any settlement doesn’t separate the two rows of geotextile, potentially leaving an area unreinforced.
Most grades and roll sizes of Geoter will be too heavy for a two-person lift and must be deployed with a spreader bar on a machine.

DuraForce AS series geotextiles are manufactured and tested to exact quality standards and rated according to the NZTA F/7 specification for geotextiles.
DuraForce woven geotextiles are suited to applications where the primary function is one of separation with a secondary benefit of reinforcement.
StrataGrid is a high-performance soil reinforcement geogrid. It is manufactured from polyester yarns that have a high molecular weight and excellent tensile strength.
