Global Geocomposites Market Definition

Geocomposites are made from composite materials containing a minimum of one layer of geosynthetic products comprising geotextile, geogrid, geomembrane, geonet, etc. These combinations are wont to enhance functions, increase interface friction angles, and lift the speed of installation. The selection of combination materials depends upon the application and purpose. They are employed for reinforcement, separation, filtration, drainage, containment, erosion control, and construction applications. They are utilized in trenches alongside high-ways, behind retaining walls and bridge abutments, leachate within the landfill, pond living, drainage, highway pavement, airfield pavement, and lots of more places.

Global Geocomposites Market Overview

Development activities in infrastructure with supportive government policies, environmental protection regulations, and cost-effective solutions are the main drivers of the Geocomposites Market.

Key Developments

• In June 2019, Groupe Solmax Inc, a Canadian firm that develops polyethylene geomembrane, announced plans to expand its operations in the United States. A new geosynthetics manufacturing facility will be built in Nevada, in the Western United States, for this expansion, and it is projected to be operational by the middle of 2020.
• In March 2019, TENAX SPA, an advanced materials firm based in Italy, launched a novel geocomposite called 'GRAVEL LOCK'. This novel geocomposite comes in 1.50-20 m rolls and is made up of a cuspated high density polyethylene (HDPE) grid and a polypropylene non-woven fabric for gravel retention.
• In April 2019, Crafco has acquired Telfer Pavement Technologies' (TPT) Anderson, CA, operations, gaining another supply center to service its growing business. The move augments Crafco's pavement preservation lineup while bolstering its presence across the west coast. It will also expand its popular geocomposites/geosynthetics lineup.
• In December 2018, Southern Geosynthetics Supplies Pty Ltd released new geomembrane. The new DG200 is a 0.8mm polyvinyl chloride (PVC) geomembrane with 200 gsm nonwoven geotextile bonded on both sides. This combination combines the puncture and tear resistance of geomembrane with the flexibility and durability of PVC to create a geomembrane with a high surface friction.
