Building strong foundations

Geosynthetics play an essential role in the modern civil engineering landscape, offering time and cost savings and reliable solutions for stabilising and reinforcing embankments, slopes, bunds, and walls. At Geoworks, we supply a comprehensive range of geosynthetic products tailored to meet the specific needs of these critical structures.

Our products are engineered to ensure long-term stability, erosion control, and enhanced safety, catering to a broad spectrum of projects from commercial developments to infrastructure and renewable energy sectors. With a focus on sustainability and efficiency, our geosynthetics are at the forefront of supporting the civil engineering industry in overcoming challenges.

Key Benefits

Enhanced Stability: Our geosynthetic solutions significantly increase the stability of embankments and slopes, preventing soil erosion and landslides and ensuring the safety and longevity of your projects. Tailored for critical erosion control applications, our products protect soil surfaces from water and wind erosion, preserving the integrity of bunds and walls.

Cost-Effective Installation: Designed with the installer in mind, our geosynthetics offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional construction methods, significantly reducing the need for expensive soil replacement or extensive groundwork. This cost-effectiveness ensures that your project stays within budget without compromising on quality.

Versatile Applications: From light residential projects to heavy-duty industrial applications, our geosynthetics are designed to be adaptable and suitable for a wide range of uses. This versatility ensures that our products can meet any project's demands, reassuring you that you have the right solution for your specific needs.

ProtectaWeb for robust slope reinforcement

ProtectaWeb is designed to prevent shear failure and lateral movement of aggregate materials. It provides contractors with a straightforward installation method, even on steep banks and slopes, providing resistance to erosion from wind and water run-off.

As a perforated panelled system, water is allowed to flow freely between cells, encouraging drainage and vegetation growth.

ProtectaWeb is an incredibly cost-effective solution for reinforcement, reducing granular fill requirements by up to 50%, and providing carbon reductions in the process. It is lightweight and easy to handle and cut. It can be used in conjunction with many common fill materials, even in locations of high load intensity. When infilled, ProtectaWeb provides a semi-rigid foundation.

ProtectaWeb: Geosynthetic Reinforcement

ProtectaWeb offers unparalleled support for constructing and reinforcing embankments, slopes, and other inclined structures. Designed with the latest in geosynthetic technology, ProtectaWeb provides a robust framework that enhances the structural integrity of earthworks.

Stability

By increasing the strength of embankments and slopes, ProtectaWeb reduces the risk of landslides and erosion, potentially saving you from costly repairs and project delays.

Load Distribution

Spreads the load evenly across the structure, preventing localised stress points and potential failures.

Vegetation Support

Encourages vegetation growth, aiding in the natural stabilisation of the area and promoting biodiversity.

Durability

ProtectaWeb is manufactured with longevity in mind, withstanding environmental challenges and ensuring the long-term integrity of your projects.

The Shield Against Erosion

Trinter Erosion control for slopes

Trinter is specifically engineered for the effective management of erosion on slopes. This innovative product provides a protective layer that shields the soil from the erosive forces of wind, rain, and surface water runoff, crucial for maintaining the health and stability of slopes.

Advantages of Trinter

Immediate Protection: Offers instant protection from erosion upon installation, safeguarding against soil displacement.
Vegetation Friendly: Supports the establishment and growth of vegetation, integrating seamlessly with environmental conservation efforts.
Flexible Application: Adaptable to various slope conditions and soil types, Trinter ensures effective erosion control across diverse settings.
Eco-Conscious: Made from environmentally friendly materials, Trinter contributes to sustainable construction practices.

Supporting tender bids

We’re an advocate of early engagement because if a Geoworks engineering manager is engaged at the tender stage, the impact on the savings to reduce time and money can also assist contractors in winning tenders.

Another benefit of early engagement is that geogrids can be manufactured to the exact width that the contractor needs, suiting the site-specific requirements and creating an even more cost-effective grid. Simply removing a longitudinal overlap in the geogrid layout can save a further 10 per cent in product costs alone. Small changes but big savings are available.

However, all isn’t lost if engagement comes afterwards as savings can still be introduced.

Whittington Rifle Ranges

The existing stop butts at Whittington Ranges had not been used for many years and had fallen into a state of disrepair. Our client was tasked with reinstating the stop butts and bringing them up to current safety standards so that the range could be re-opened for use by the armed forces.

Mostyn Sea Wall Repairs

When gale force winds combined with high tides on Thursday 5th December 2013, the result was the worst storm surge to hit North Wales in years. A solution devised jointly by Atkins, Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Limited and Geoworks was agreed. Our geosynthetic products were used to aid the creation of a barrier against adverse weather.
