Impermeable fabric acts as a barrier. Extruded polymer ribs set in net like fashion with small apertures. Continuous sheets of woven, nonwoven, knitted or stitch- bonded fibres or yarns. The sheets are flexible and permeable and generally have the appearance of a fabric. Plastic filaments and tapes etc. formed into a very open, grid like configuration having larger apertures. Relatively thick, three- dimensional networks made of strips of polymeric sheet. The strips are joined together to form conjoint cells. • Geomats • Geo-clayliners • Geofoam • Geobags • Geotubes • Geopipes • Erosion Control Blankets(ECB) • Turf Reinforcement Mats(TRM)
