Geosintex Flexitex Concrete Mattresses
FLEXITEX CONCRETE MATTRESSES
FLEXITEX CONCRETE MATTRESSES
Mattresses made of double-layer fabrics (polyester and polyamide) with high strength .
Particularly suitable as mattresses for erosion control and / or stabilization of banks and slopes, protection and ballast of underwater pipelines , flexible formwork for any underwater injection with cement mixtures.
The filled structure has a thickness ranging from 12 cm to 33 cm. The quality of concrete used is extremely important.
The principle applied to remove the excess water is based on the evacuation of the same through the pores of the fabric (due to the pressure exercised by the mixture pumping ).
Then the fabric will work as a sieve and it is designed to prevent loss of fine particles through the pores. It is important to use cement mixes with the right flow, quality and strength.
INFORMATION
THICKNESS
12 cm to 33 cm
PIPELINES
Underwater
MATERIAL
Polyester and Polyamide
FLEXITEX BAGS
FlexiTex is woven in the form of large bags with a diameter of 240 cm with selvedge and no seams . We can also manufacture bags with dimensions on request for special applications.
FLEXITEX FILTER POINT
The mattresses double layers are connected together by regularly distributed points that act as a filter to annul the water pressure.
FLEXITEX CONCRETE MATTRESS
The upper and lower sections are connected together by distance to ensure that the mattress , when filled with concrete, has a uniform thickness. The different length of threads can offer several different thicknesses and weights of the mattress when filled.
APPLICATION
-Banks and dams reinforcement or surface protection -Coastal erosion control or foot protection of docks or piers
-Seabed protection -Emergency works for floods or typhoons -Protection of landfills slopes -Ballasting and protection of underwater pipelines
INSTALLATION
Flexitex is cheap, easy to install, allows reductions of time and installation costs compared to traditional reinforcement works with concrete (you can cover areas up to 700 square meters per day), is very strong ( made with only high tenacity polyester fibers), it can be supplied in rolls of varying widths from 3.75 to 5.30 m or in pre-measuring panels, equipped with filling and venting nozzles and zip on the sides for connections.
