Geoter PET Basal Reinforcement Geotextile

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.
