Geotextile(ATGTX)

Nonwoven Geotextile (ATGTX)

ATGTX, exclusively manufactured by A&T Engineering Pvt Ltd, is a permeable fabric designed for soil applications. It excels in separation, filtration, protection, and drainage, utilizing non-woven geotextile like polypropylene and polyester materials for optimal performance.

Functions of ATGTX

  • ATGTX is used to separate two layers of soil, which have different particle size distributions. It helps to prevent fine-grained subgrade soil from pumping up into permeable granular road bases. It prevents the two adjacent layers from mixing of a structure. This is ATGTX primary function & it necessary to ensure the longterm performance of the structure.
  • ATGTX is used to retain fine soil particles. It prevents fine particles from being leached and draining elements.
  • ATGTX is used as a passive element to transport liquids elements or gas elements. ATGTX can be used alone for this function and in combination with drainage nets to increase drainage capacity.
  • ATGTX acts both as a separator and as a drainage layer. But when its basic function is to aid in erosion control it is placed in special category. A much bigger possible market for ATGTX exist in the soil erosion control.

Nonwoven Polypropylene (PP)

ATGTX (PP) is a non-woven polypropylene geotextile made with PP staple fibres which are thermally bonded through needle punching to form a strong, flexible and dimensionally stable fabric structure with optimum pore sizes and high permeability. These are UV resistance, perform separation and filtration functions hence prevents intermixing of 2 different materials. Their usage in stabilization and drainage applications ensure an enhanced performance and design life of granular layers.

Features of ATGTX (PP)

  • Highly durable in all soil conditions.
  • Highly resistant to damage from construction equipment.
  • Ensures separation, drainage and filtration when subjected to loads.
  • Prevents intermixing of two different materials hence improving pavement life.

Applications of ATGTX (PP)

  • Highways and roads
  • Railways
  • Erosion control over slopes
  • Canals
  • Tunnels

Nonwoven Polyester (PET)

ATGTX (PET) is a non-woven polyester geotextile made with high quality of polyester staple fibres and needle punching. These are UV resistant, effective in reinforcing and protecting granular layers. It performs various functions such as soil retention, filtration and drainage.

Features of ATGTX (PET)

  • Resistant to UV rays, extreme temperature and chemicals.
  • Can be used in aggressive environments.
  • High tensile strength.
  • Provides cushion protection in roads.
  • Highly permeable that allow high water flow during soil retention.

Applications of ATGTX (PET)

  • Highways and roads
  • Embankments
  • Landfills
  • Sports construction projects

Paving Fabric

This is made by non-woven geotextile coated with bituminous layer which acts as a moisture barrier and stress relieving membrane between existing pavement and asphalt overlay and extends the service life of the overlay.

Features of Paving Fabric

  • Prevention of surface water ingression into pavement layers.
  • Acts as a stress relief interface that retards reflective cracking.
  • Improvement in fatigue resistance.
  • Suitable for different grades of tack coat, including polymer modified tack coats.
  • Have different weights for varying degrees of maintenance needs.

Applications of Paving Fabric

  • Useful for bituminous pavements and overlays.

Geo Bag (Nonwoven)

ATBag is a sand filled geotextile bag used for river protection and offshore breakwater. It is a soft and flexible technology against conventional hard structures for shore protection.
Due to numerous strengths it reinforces existing coastal structures. It is designed to provide wide-width tensile strength, elongation, seam length, abrasion resistance, tear strength, puncture resistance and UV stability.

Features of ATBag

  • Doubly stitched to provide higher seam strength and durability.
  • Onsite filling of soil makes it a far more convenient.
  • Eco friendly and environmentally safe.
  • Economical solution in terms of manufacturing and installation.
  • Customization available, according to the site requirements.
  • Mobilization is easy during emergencies.

Applications of ATBag

  • Coastal protection
  • Dams & Levees
  • Inland waterways protection
  • Ports & harbors

Application of Geosynthetics in Tunnel Engineering

Benefits of Using Geosynthetics in Tunnel Engineering

  • Low permeability of geosynthetics is long-term & efficient solution for waterproofing.
  • Easy to install in any configuration, horizontal, vertical, or overhead, and with high elongation strength, they bridge old and new cracks.
  • Provide resistance to swelling, rotting, aging, puncture and chemicals.
  • They combat various weather conditions.
  • There is no cross-sectional area reduction since geosynthetics can be folded to any dimension and do not compromise the tunnel diameter.
  • Highly durable and reliable even under high hydraulic pressure.
  • Geosynthetics also help with the rehab and repair of old tunnels.
  • They are light weight and requires no skilled labour for installation.

ATGTX IN TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION

These are non-woven polypropylene geotextiles made with PP staple fibres which are mechanically bonded through needle punching to form a strong, flexible and dimensionally stable fabric structure with optimum pore sizes and high permeability. These perform protection & drainage functions, hence prevents puncture of geomembrane (ATMembrane) & ingression of groundwater in the tunnels.

Benefits of ATGTX in Tunnelling

  • Protects geomembrane (ATMembrane) from puncture during shotcreting process.
  • Highly resistant to damage from construction equipment.
  • Ensures protection & drainage when subjected to loads.
