Geotextiles & Geosynthetics

Introduction to REC:

REC has 20 years experience of the specification, design and installation of geosystems incorporating geotextiles and geosynthetics, including:

  • Embankments on soft ground – basal reinforcement, separation, filtration;

  • Reinforced soil walls & slopes;

  • Load transfer platforms & working platforms;

  • Pile-cap arching & load-spread reinforcement;

  • Highway paving fabrics – increasing the life of roads and building roads to last;

  • Dormant reinforced soil structures for mine, cave and karst areas;

  • Shallow-slip repair and prevention;

  • Geotextile bags & tubes for coastal defence, river flood control, industrial dewatering of slurries, mine tailings, dredged silts (pictured);

  • Landfill operations from QA/CQA, containment, monitoring of gas & leachate to landfill capping;

  • Foundations;

  • Erosion control;

  • Vegetation suppression (e.g. Japanese knotweed).

Offering geosolutions requires knowledge and application of geosynthetic technology from inception through to completion of projects.
REC has industry-wide hands-on experience of geotextile manufacture, geosynthetic testing and CE Mark, geosystem installation and monitoring within a broad range of civil and ground engineering projects.

Feasibility & scoping studies

REC offers specialist advice from the onset of your project gauging geotechnical and environmental options in the form of detailed assessments and feasibility studies.
Geosynthetic solutions can be examined further through technical design analyses, site-based & laboratory field trials and full-scale scoping studies, as necessary.
The use of geotextiles in engineering design and build has proven to be extremely cost-effective, also reducing the timeline of many projects as well as being environmentally beneficial.

Geotextile design

REC conduct design analyses and solutions for soil reinforcement, filtration, separation, erosion control, dewatering and containment ensuring value-added solutions and flexible design options.
Geosolutions will always save the project money and most offer green solutions.

REC’s geosynthetic design team matches the right product to the right project, whether it is a HDPE liner system, geogrid, woven or knitted geotextile for reinforcement, nonwoven fabric for filtration, ECB/TRM for erosion control and water quality management.
Geosynthetic design techniques tie-in with tradition geotechnical and environmental design analyses.
REC concentrates on both the geotextile properties and effective installation to ensure a long and beneficial structural life.

Supervision & installation

REC realise that any sound and value-driven geosolution requires experienced and targeted supervision-in-chief and site supervision of the installation and maintenance.
With a nationwide network of regional offices, REC ensure the benefits of geosynthetic design are continued through to project completion with dedicated, flexible and experienced geotechnical staff tied to best management practices (BMP).

Seeing the benefits by using geosynthetic experts

As a leading geotechnical and environmental consultancy, REC encourages innovation – we are leaders in geosynthetic innovation in civil, ground, environmental and mining engineering.
The benefits of geosynthetic technology enable our solutions to be realised on brownfield to greenfield sites.
