POLYTEX
|
|
| Polytex is a unique soil reinforcement system where a layer of topsoil needs to be stabilised to prevent large scale slipping or shearing from the underlying surface. Polytex is manufactured from extremely strong woven polypropylene fibres which are made into rolls of varying heights up to 500mm as standard. Fixing loops are double stitched at pre-set intervals which simplify the installation process and reduce the labour requirements, saving time and money. Timber stakes or steel pins are placed through the loops and driven into the underlying soil (or drilled into rock) to hold the Polytex in position. |
|
| Polytex has similar uses to our biodegradable material Recultex but the flexibility of manufacture allows Polytex to be used on slopes up to 50 degrees with the soil being placed in 1 layer for thicknesses over 200mm. |
|
| Polytex allows moisture and plant roots to migrate from cell to cell as well as keeping the soil stable which helps plants develop a strong root system that will eventually give the permanent reinforcement required. |
