Geofabrics HPS14C has been successfully installed below the rock armour at Withernsea. The main function of HPS14C is to prevent loss of the sub-soil from below the rock armour. With challenging low particle size subsoils, the HPS14C was ideal with its combined filtration and permeability characteristics whilst its high tensile elongation and CBR provided a …

The cell was excavated and lined with our specialist CuTex root barrier geocomposite, which was then filled with contaminated soil from different locations around the site. Choosing CuTex for the installation created a reliable barrier against the Japanese knotweed, while allowing for moisture delivery and preventing waterlogging in the soil.

When Japanese Knotweed is situated directly within the desired footprint of a new build, and the foundations require protection from this invasive plant returning from the boundary, CuTex is a perfect choice for this application. CuTex can be installed to protect new concrete foundations footings, as it has a non-woven geotextile surface that allows for …
Our onsite laboratory is accredited by UKAS to ISO 17025:2015 for the competence in testing to several key geosynthetic standards.
With extensions from the rear of the building planned, excavation for footings had to be conducted, providing the perfect opportunity to integrate CuTex into the concrete pour for the footings: this formed a continuous barrier to the knotweed, giving maximum protection to the property.
