Our total geosynthetic package has been continuously developed and expanded since 1995, providing all our customers with technical support, specification and design services, helping you find the solution to all your geosynthetic requirements.
Geosynthetic products play an integral role in the majority of building and civil engineering projects. While the range of applications and uses is vast, the functions can be broken down into six broad categories: Separation, Protection, Filtration, Erosion control, Reinforcement and Drainage.
We specialise in supplying customisable, pre-assembled box liners and lids, commonly known as attenuation tank liners, shoe box liners, or SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) boxes.
Car parks require tough durable materials. Our geomembranes and geogrids ranges combine to provide proven, lasting results that save time and carbon while speeding up the installation process.
Our geogrid ranges provide the perfect solution to reduce costs and construction time on the creation of haul roads, with cost savings over alternative methods of up to 40% achievable.
Landscaping systems and tree planting creates aspirational environments for residents to enjoy and safe havens where wildlife can thrive. Protect trees from construction damage and help new trees to establish and grow.
We provide value engineered solutions that reduce costs and construction time on the creation of initial site compounds, with cost savings of up to 40% achievable.
Block paved roads require a durable and reliable subbase to provide an even surface for over their long-term use. We offer multiple solutions that will give you the reliability you need.
Achieve time savings when acquiring materials and overall quicker installations, thanks to SX Composite, an all-in-one solution that performs as both a biaxial geogrid and a geotextile. SX Composite consists of nonwoven geotextile thermally bonded to our popular SX range of geogrid. It provides the functions of reinforcement, separation and filtration into one single product, rather than having to use two separate solutions, which offers significant savings.
Whether you're building pathways, roads, car parks or lorry parks, ProtectaWeb provides reliable tree root protection in all types of soil, without any digging required.
The system is simply placed on the existing ground, filled and finished with a porous surface. The cells are filled with a clean angular stone which allows drainage and aeration through the cells. Perforated cell walls provide drainage, minimising hydrostatic build-up while ensuring the maximum supply of water to the tree roots, even when installed on a gradient.

Geosynthetics functions
Geosynthetic products play an integral role in the majority of building, civil engineering and rail projects. While the range of applications and uses is vast, the functions can be broken down into six broad categories: Filtration, Separation, Reinforcement, Drainage, Protection and Containment.
Filtration
Allows the passage of water while restricting the movement of soil. Our high-quality geosynthetics can provide a good level of filtration for most soil types, allowing water but not soil to pass through.
Prevents different soil layers from unwanted mixing. Using our geosynthetic products can avoid aggregate bases or sub-bases mixing into soils, and will save costs by removing the need for additional granular layers.
Applications: Compounds, haul roads, horse ménage, piling and working platforms
Reinforcement
Resists stresses, reduces deformations, and can support weaker subgrade. Base or sub-base reinforcement can be achieved with the use of a geosynthetic at the bottom layer,
increasing support of the ground whilst reducing the amount of soil or gravel required.
The use of a geosynthetic to collect and transport fluids. A reduction in the thickness of drainage layers can save money on aggregate stones whilst giving a more consistent and more protected solution.
Applications: French drains, open ditches
Protection
Reduces damage to an adjacent surface, acting as stress reduction. A practical solution for areas which may be particularly prone to wear. Our geosynthetic products can ensure the protection of soils, grasses and gravel areas.
Applications: Embankments, car parks, bunds, walls, landfill, attenuation tanks
Containment
Prevents the migration of liquids through the soil. Offers solutions for either aggressive
containment or contaminated land. These products provide a barrier that offers pollution
control in varied applications.
Our solutions have been successfully used on thousands of projects. From major road and rail infrastructure projects to car parks, housing estates, garden landscaping and coastal defences.
Whatever market you operate in, take a look at how we can help you to minimise costs, save time and improve efficiencies. Simply put, we are the experts, and however big or small your project may be, we are always available and ready to help.
Infrastructure
Geosynthetics help to conserve energy and promote more durable and sustainable structures. Our solutions can assist in minimising the carbon footprint of infrastructure developments while saving natural resources and reducing transported materials.
Housing
Housing developments require reliable, rapid, and durable solutions. With the ever-growing demand for more homes and quicker build times, geosynthetics can play a crucial role in the early stages of a development.
Rail
Rail construction projects require geosynthetic solutions for wide ranging rail applications. Typically, geotextiles and geogrids are specified, however many of our other products can also play a key role.
Reliable and durable geosynthetics are critical in landfill applications. We provide liners to suppress the vertical migration of liquids and gases, and drainage solutions that allow liquids to collect and limit the potential for leaks.

Learn how geogrids can add value to a project through value engineering
We have developed a strong reputation in the civil engineering sector thanks to our skilled team's wealth of experience. We offer the best technical expertise with exceptional customer support. Our team works with asset owners, developers, main contractors, ground workers and local authorities throughout a construction scheme’s lifecycle, including:
Initial project support
Listening and working with customers to fully understand their requirements. We provide pre-tender and tender support to lend a competitive edge.
Product specification
Our technical experts and value engineering service means that you have access to the best advice and support.
Design schemes
Our talented team provides full design services, with the added bonus of supporting documentation and drawings.
Advice and site meetings
We understand the value of regular site meetings, helping to improve communication, giving installation advice and ensuring each project is completed successfully, right down to the project review
Our technical team was contacted in August 2020 by contractor Interserve (now Tilbury Douglas), which made the improvements on behalf of Suffolk County Council, after the groundworker needed assistance mitigating issues caused by soft ground in the sub-formation near where the link road was being constructed – bringing the project to a halt.
Our geogrids team value-engineered a fit-for-purpose adoptable road for a new Derby housing development, working with the city council, William Davis Homes and S&L Groundworks. This project demonstrates how value engineering solutions such as geogrids can be used to solve general and site-specific issues for the housing sector.
