Application

Geosynthetics use in park beautification allows solving a number of essential tasks. The most important of them are:

Soil protection. Geosynthetics can be used for erosion protection of soil safeguarding its structure and fertility. While landscaping parks, there is a need to reinforce slopes, water banks and other weak-soiled areas. Geosynthetics, for example, may serve as an effective barrier preventing soil wash-out by rain.

Ecospan Geo Building, Ecospan Geo Landscaping, Geospan GT PP woven geotextile and Geospan GC geogrid may be a effective solution for soil protection. These materials raise construction quality considerably and extend a facility service life by several times.

Drainage system improvement. Geosynthetics use facilitates drainage system improvement in parks. Draining geosynthetics enable effective evacujation of surplus water, preventing floods and improving conditions for plant root systems. This is particularly significant for arrangement and maintenance of lawns and flowerbeds.

Ecospan Geo Drainage and Geospan BB thermally bonded geotextiles are widely used for these applications. A special way of bonding the material fibers enables achieving high filtration performance and securing a drainage system protection from clogging by fine soil particles, and extending the drainage system service life.

Increase in a hard surface strength. Geosynthetics may also be used to reinforce hard surfaces in parks, such as parkways and alleys. Reinforcing woven geotextiles assist in preventing the surface deformation under loads, and it is particularly significant for places with intensive pedestrian flow.

Ecopsan Geo 60 and Geospan GT PP use is a proven solution to increase a hard surface strength.

Arrangement of long-term lawns. While arranging park lawns, geosynthetics can be used to improve soil structure, secure proper drainage and reduce walk wear. This contributes to formation of sound and durable lawns, easier to keep and attractively looking during a long period of time.

Geopan BB, Ecospan Geo 80 and Ecospan Geo 100 use is a sound way of making log-term lawns.

Environmental resistance. Many geosynthetics are made of components resistant to environmental impact. The usage of these materials in park landscaping facilitates development of environmentally stable and ecofriendly media.                      

All Geospan and Ecospan Geo products belong to ecofriendly and environmentally safe materials. Every batch of products is subject to testing and certification by a 3^rd party laboratory. Continuous quality control and an in-house laboratory guarantee the compliance of both the brands’ geosynthetics performance with the parameters declared.
