Geotextiles and geomembranes

Geotextiles and geomembranes - the basis of modern engineering solutions

Geotextiles and geomembranes are key materials in many construction and infrastructure projects.   They are used for soil reinforcement, separation of layers and sealing. At Onninen we offer a wide range of these products. Our experience allows us to advise on their selection. We see a growing interest in these materials among customers. This is due to their versatility and effectiveness.

Types and applications of geotextiles and geomembranes

Our offer includes various types of geotextiles and geomembranes. PP filter geotextiles are mainly used for filtration and separation. HDPE geomembranes are used to seal landfills and tanks. Geogrids reinforce road and railway structures. Each product has its own unique properties and applications.

Our experience shows that selecting the right material is crucial to the success of the project.   That is why we offer expert advice. We help you choose the optimal solution for specific conditions. We take into account the type of soil, loads and environmental conditions.

• PP filter geotextiles: 90g/m2, 150g/m2, 200g/m2
• HDPE geomembranes: thickness 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm
• Geogrids: biaxial, uniaxial, of various strengths

We often come across the question of the differences between geotextiles and geomembranes. Geotextiles are permeable materials used for filtration and reinforcement. Geomembranes are impermeable and are used for sealing. The choice depends on the specific requirements of the project.

Geotextiles and geomembranes in practice - real examples of applications

Recently, in a project for a large logistics center, we used a PP 150g/m2 filter geotextile. It was used to separate the substructure layers. This prevented soil mixing and ensured stability. In another case, during the construction of a landfill, we supplied a 2mm HDPE geomembrane. It ensured the full tightness of the facility.

Our experience shows that geotextiles and geomembranes significantly improve the durability and functionality of structures.   This is particularly visible in difficult ground conditions. These materials reduce settlement, increase load-bearing capacity and extend the life of structures. This translates into real savings for investors.

In the case of reorganization of industrial areas, we most often use a combination of products. Geotextile is used for separation and filtration. Geomembrane provides a barrier to contamination. Geogrid reinforces the new surface. This comprehensive approach guarantees the best results.

Criteria for selecting geotextiles and geomembranes - what to pay attention to?

When choosing geotextiles and geomembranes, technical parameters are key. For geotextiles, grammage and tensile strength are important. For geomembranes, thickness and puncture resistance are important. Chemical properties and UV resistance are also important. We select products based on the specifics of a given application.

Onninen recommends paying special attention to product certificates and approvals.   They guarantee compliance with standards and ensure safety. Our offer includes materials from renowned manufacturers. They have all the necessary quality documents. This gives certainty about their properties and durability.

1. Define exactly the function of the material in the design
2. Analyze ground conditions and loads
3. Take into account environmental factors (pH, pollution)
4. Check the required technical parameters
5. Learn about installation and connection methods

Many customers ask us about the differences between product brands. At Onninen we offer both renowned global brands and our own brands. Onnline, FXA or Opal products are characterized by a good price-quality ratio. They are a great alternative to more expensive equivalents.

Our experience shows that professional installation of geotextiles and geomembranes is crucial.   Even the best material will not fulfill its function if it is not properly installed. That is why we offer training and technical support. We help in the correct distribution, connection and securing of materials. This guarantees their optimal operation and durability.

In everyday practice, we see how important it is to properly maintain these materials. Geotextiles and geomembranes, although durable, require periodic inspections. This is especially important in the case of sealing geomembranes. Regular inspections allow for the detection of any damage. This allows for quick repair and avoidance of more serious problems.

Onninen provides comprehensive services in the field of geotextiles and geomembranes. We offer not only products, but also professional advice. Our specialists will help you choose the optimal solutions. We also provide support at the design and implementation stages. Thanks to this, customers can be sure of the highest quality and efficiency of the materials used.

Geotextiles and geomembranes are an investment in the durability and safety of structures.   Their use brings tangible economic and environmental benefits. They reduce the maintenance costs of facilities and extend their service life. At the same time, they contribute to the protection of the natural environment. This makes them an indispensable element of modern construction.

We invite you to contact our advisors. They will help you choose the right geotextiles and geomembranes for your project. Together we will find the optimal solution, combining quality, efficiency and economy. With Onninen, every investment will gain solid and lasting foundations.
