To minimise the risk of piling rigs overturning during use, regulations require that the piling platform is designed. This is to ensure that a consistent performance and bearing capacity is offered throughout the platform.
Geosynthetics can be used to stabilise and reinforce the aggregates used in the piling platform offering;
- Increased strength
- Reduced differential settlement
- More reliable performance
- Reduced volumes of materials (depending upon conditions)
By selecting a geosynthetic reinforcement material from our range of geogrids and geotextiles, Maccaferri is well positioned to optimise a material to suit your specific conditions.
| Product | Benefits |
| Enkagrid® MAX | Cost effective, polypropylene biaxial geogrid delivering strength at low strain. |
| Enkagrid® TRC | High modulus multifunction biaxial geogrid to separate, filter and reinforce in one product. Strains only 1.5% under working loads. |
| Geolon® PP | Geotextiles Polypropylene woven geotextiles in a variety of strengths from 15kN/m to 800kN/m, to offer separation and reinforcement in one product. Some Geolon PPs also offer biaxial strength. |
| Geolon® PET | Geotextiles High performance woven polyester geotextiles in a variety of strengths from 100kN/m to 1000kN/m, all with low-strain characteristics. |
| Bidim Geotextiles | Versatile, non-woven needle punched polypropylene geotextiles for separation of soils. |
