At Jeevan Ecotex manufacturing facility we produce geotextile fabric, geotubes, geomats, geonets, geosynthetic clay liners, and geocells. We specialize in the production of various geosynthetic products used in civil engineering, construction, and environmental applications. Here’s some information about each of these products and their manufacturing processes:
Geotextile fabric is a permeable textile material used for soil stabilization, filtration, drainage, and erosion control. The manufacturing process for geotextile fabric involves:
Synthetic fibers such as polyester or polypropylene are commonly used. The facility sources high-quality raw materials suitable for geotextile production.
The fibers are laid down in a web formation process using methods like needle punching, heat bonding, or weaving.
The web of fibers is consolidated through processes such as needle punching, thermal bonding, or chemical bonding to enhance strength and durability.
Additional processes like calendaring, coating, or laminating may be applied for specific functionalities or to meet project requirements.
Geotubes and geobags are large tubular or bag-like containers made of geotextile fabric. They are used for applications such as shoreline protection, coastal erosion control, and dewatering. The manufacturing process involves:
Geotubes and geobags are made from geotextile fabric using similar processes as described above.
The geotextile fabric is cut, folded, and sewn to form the desired tubular or bag-like shape.
Geotubes and geobags are typically designed with closure mechanisms such as zippers, ties, or hooks to secure the contents inside.
Geomats are geosynthetic materials used for slope stabilization, erosion control, and vegetation establishment. The manufacturing process involves:
Geomats are typically made from non-woven geotextile fabric.
The fibers are prepared and laid down in a web formation process similar to geotextile fabric production.
The web of fibers is consolidated and mechanically bonded to form a mat-like structure with an open structure that allows vegetation growth.
Geonets are three-dimensional, grid-like structures made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other polymer materials. They provide drainage pathways and soil reinforcement. The manufacturing process involves:
HDPE or other polymer materials are extruded into thin sheets.
Multiple sheets are fused together, forming a grid pattern of interconnected channels or voids.
The fused sheets are stretched to create the desired grid dimensions and mechanical properties.
The geonets are rolled up and packaged for transportation and use.
A geosynthetic clay liner is a composite material that combines geotextiles and a layer of sodium bentonite clay. It is used for containment applications, such as landfill liners or reservoir sealing. The manufacturing process involves.
Geotextiles used in GCLs are produced using similar processes as described earlier.
Sodium bentonite clay is typically sandwiched between two layers of geotextile fabric, forming a composite structure.
The composite structure is needle punched to interlock the geotextile fibers and improve clay distribution and containment.
Geocells are three-dimensional honeycomb-like structures made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). They provide confinement for soil or aggregate materials, creating stable platforms for load support or erosion control. The manufacturing process involves:
HDPE is extruded into sheets with protruding cells or pockets.
The sheets are welded together to form a continuous, interconnected honeycomb structure.
The continuous structure is cut into panels of desired sizes
The panels are folded and packaged for transportation and use.
It’s important to note that specific details about a particular manufacturing facility may vary depending on the company, location, and manufacturing techniques employed.
