The long-term performances of a geosynthetic are critical. This is why we make sure that our products are strong enough to resist site conditions even during installation. Our reinforcement products are tested against installation damage to overcome installation challenges such as abrasive and aggressive aggregates, heavy equipment and handling.
SKZ carried out installation damage testing on our reinforcement products using different types of aggregates and different gradings of fill material to simulate varying site conditions, the tests were conducted in accordance with ISO TR 20432.
The more a geosynthetic resists damage, the better the site performance will be. Robustness at installation means the geosynthetic will possess greater residual strength.
