In-house Fibre Production
Fibre production involves the extrusion of continuous filaments cut into short staple fibres. By optimizing fibre formulation, filament density, and staple fibre length, mechanical and hydraulic properties are maximized for various nonwoven product ranges.
Nonwoven Geotextile Production
Utilizing modern needle punching looms and a unique thermal bonding process, nonwoven geotextiles are produced by processing a uniform web of staple fibres to form a finished sheet product.
Woven Geotextile Production
Polypropylene tapes are manufactured and woven on Sulzer looms, resulting in products with high mechanical strengths per unit weight.
Quality and the Environment
All plants adhere to ISO 9001:2000 Quality Assurance and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems. Products are tested in accordance with European and International standards.

Installation Guidelines- Subgrade preparation involves removing obstacles and leveling the surface.
- Geotextiles should be rolled out to follow land contours, with fill material placed to hold them in position.
- For geotextile/geogrid combinations, the geogrid should be placed on top.
- Ensure product continuity by overlapping layers, with a minimum overlap of 300mm.
- Cover fill should be placed with a minimum thickness of 150mm before trafficking or compaction.
