HYPERTEX FOR ROADS

TEMPORARY ROADS
Hypertex Geotextiles placed below the top gravel layer increase the bearing capacity of the road to withstand continuous heavy traffic loads. No cars, tractors or other vehicles will become stuck in the gravel.

PERMANENT ROADS
By separating the different layers of materials, Hipertex® Geotextiles stabilise road constructions that are designed to resist dynamic and static stresses.

HIPERTEX THE EVOLUTION OF INFRASTRUCTURES

Hipertex® geotextile is the perfect solution for present civil engineering works and tomorrow building challenges.
Designed to comply with the modern design requirements, Hipertex® is a step forward in comparison to other traditional building products.

MECHANICAL FEATURES AT BEST

Hipertex® is made with very high tenacity fibers of polypropylene and with the best production lines available. Its mechanical and hydraulic properties are at the top on the geotextiles market.

HIGH PROFITABILITY

It is generally recognised that the use of Hipertex® in building works allow to save raw material costs and improve the work performances if compared to traditional building technical solutions.

EXCELLENT FILTRATION

The characteristic opening size of Hipertex® is designed to retain particles while allowing free movement of water, making it possible to separate two layers during intense hydraulic activity. Hipertex® preventing the ingress of fines into drainage media and provide the same flow rates on the job site, eliminating future clogging and costly project damage.

HIPERTEX FOR ROADS AND HIGHWAYS

Characteristics required for use in the construction of roads and other trafficked areas.

The design of a road is basically conditioning - in addition to the structural assessment - by its resistance to dynamic loads . This type of cyclic phenomena define the durability of the floor itself. This is a function of the limit of exercise, which for a paving can be defined as the time horizon in which they occur cracks or an excess of deformations occur; all these phenomena depend on the nature of the embankment. The research in the field of road embankments tend therefore to analyze the behavior under the effect of repeated loads, that is in conditions similar to those of exercise, in order to design the structure considering the initial construction costs and the maintenance. It is evident that at a lower cost and low initial investment correspond to a greater burden of maintenance and greater discomfort for users. In the design phase, normally the engineers act both on the composition of the layers of the pavement, and foundation materials used, but you can also choose to add elements, such as geotextile Hipertex® , able to perform the function of separation and drainage. Doing this is possible to improve the overall bearing capacity, reducing the permanent deformation and retards of the cracks development.
