BMC GULF CONTRACTING AND TRADING ACTIVITIESGeosynthetics & Landscaping solutionsApplicationsBy Eng. Samer Hasan19 1 - 2012

Welcome, and talk about why we are having the presentation.1

Geosynthetics

Geosynthetics is the term used to describe a range of products used to solve civil engineering problems2

Range of Materials1- Geomembranes (HDPE High Density Poly Ethylin)

2- Geogrids

3- Landscaping Solutions

1- Geomembranes: Bituminous Geomembrane (BGM), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), High-density polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyurea and Polypropylene (PP)

2- Geogrids: Biaxial Uniaxial Triaxial

3- Landscaping

4- Geotextile: is not a product we can sell anymore, still we use.3

Geomembranes

HDPE liner. Samples. Talk about thicknesses. Different sizes as per the manufacturer. Heavy material 1 m2 of 1mm = 1 kg.Local ManufacturedAgru in AustriaRawad in KSA

GeomembranesCan be basically used as a Containments, our basic applications are:

1- Secondary Containments in oil applications2- Artificial lake lining3- All kinds of ponds and reservoirs4- Water tanks, and desalination plants5- Waste landfills, and caps for landfills (covers)6- Waterproofing within tunnels

Talk about reference list for HDPE liner projects18

Geogrids

1- Reinforcement for roads, railways, ports and any other unpaved areas

1- Reinforcement for roads, railways, ports and any other unpaved areas

2- Gabions (walls, erosion control )

2- Gabions (walls, erosion control )Main applications for Gabions:1- Stabilize shorelines or slopes against erosion.2- Retaining walls.3- Small or temporary/permanent dams4- Channel lining.5- May be used to direct the force of a flow of flood water around a structure.6- Fish barriers on small streams.

2- Gabions (walls, erosion control )

Example: Shoreline protection against erosion24

3- Reinforcement for walls, abutments and slopes
