HIBRITEX COMPOSITE GEOTEXTILE

In the ever-growing world of Geosynthetics,
innovations are endless. They are all attempts
at providing better solutions for the
engineering problems and also improve the
ease of installation which will lead to cost
reductions and better quality installations. One
such innovation came about in an attempt to
add reinforcement function to a good
separator/filter non-woven geotextile. Rather
than installing a geogrid on-top of a
non-woven geotextile, a composite was made.
Hibritex® Composite Geotextiles are made from
non-woven geotextiles as a backing and
strengthen with the addition of high-strength
PET yarns as used in geogrids. The advantages
are obvious from using less plastic compared to
using 2 different types of geosynthetics, savings
in construction time, to the usage of less plastic
which is good for the environment.

Hibritex® Composite Geotextiles combines the

best of both worlds by retaining the separation
and filtration functions of the non-woven
geotextile with the reinforcement from the SLOPE REINFORCEMENT BASE REINFORCEMENT

high-strength PET yarns used in geogrids.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

• Synergy of separation and

Combining different types of things will reinforcement functions • Construction time
• Ease of installation • Construction cost
invariably present some challenges but when • High permeability • Surface deformation
• High tensile strength
the benefits are real such as this case, it is worth
the effort. A summary of the benefits brought to
the project site are:
