TrackTex is a unique patented anti-pumping geocomposite and the result of over a decade of research by railroad engineers and materials scientists. TrackTex has been actively used in live rail since 2010, providing significant maintenance savings to Rail Authorities and contractors alike. So far, over ½ million m² of TrackTex have been installed in live …
New Video – TrackTex, The Solution to Mud Pumping Read More »
A new case study has been added to our download section. When Canadian National reported continuous resurfacing issues caused by mud-pumping on a section of mainline track in Cook MN, the use of TrackTex anti-pumping Geocomposite as a solution was an obvious choice.
We are pleased to announce that Eric Littel has joined the Geofabrics Team as our Sector Manager for Rail in North America. Eric is a Civil Engineering graduate of the University of Tennessee and served in the US Army from 1993-1996. Originally from South Dakota, he has lived in 15 different states while working on …
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.
We write to provide an update on the measures introduced by Geofabrics in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Research on the effectiveness of CuTex® as a barrier to Japanese Knotweed and other invasive Plant Species. Geofabrics is one of the few geosynthetics’ manufacturers with an active research and development (R&D) program. This investment is prompted by the pursuit of product quality and the value placed on customers’ needs. Many of our R&D projects, …
CuTex was selected over an impermeable membrane because of its permeability: large areas of the barrier had to be placed in a horizontal position; an impermeable membrane would have caused water retention in the soil above the membrane and starved soil below the membrane of moisture. This would have been undesirable for the development itself …
