What is GeoStrap®?
GeoStrap® reinforcements consist of closely packed high tenacity Polyethylene terephthalate yarns encased in a linear low density polyethylene sheath (LLDPE) and manufactured through a co-extrusion process.
GeoStrap® reinforcements are suitable for a large range of soil reinforcement applications, usually with concrete, steel or other material facing panels, such as Reinforced Earth® MSE (Mechanically Stabilized Earth) structures, steep slopes, reinforced embankments and more globally all kind of soil/structure interface systems involving such reinforcements for structures for an extended array of market segments: roads and motorways, environment, railways, hydraulic works, mining, industry, energy, commercial, housing or military. Wide ranges of physical, chemical and biological conditions found in reinforced soil structures can be addressed by the GeoStrap® reinforcements.
