Transportation
For BC's mountainous terrain highways, the product offers superior subdrainage solutions. It's used in foundation and trench drains, crucial in preventing landslides and maintaining road integrity.
Environmental
GeoMods NW116 is used in environmental projects for erosion control, particularly in areas prone to heavy rainfall. Its apparent opening size provides an excellent soil retention capability.
Regional Overview
GeoMods NW116 Geotextiles are widely used in Alberta's oil and gas, mining, and transportation sectors. The product is known for its high tensile strength, excellent water flow rate, and good UV resistance, which makes it suitable for the province's diverse climate conditions.
Notable Projects
Project 1
Athabasca Oil Sands Project
Project 2
Trans-Canada Highway Improvement
Climate Considerations
The product's UV resistance of 70% is beneficial in Alberta's summers. Its ability to operate effectively within a temperature range from -40°C to +30°C makes it suitable for the province's harsh winters and warm summers. The water flow rate and permittivity are critical for managing spring snowmelt.
Industry Applications
Oil And Gas
In Alberta's oil sands, GeoMods NW116 is used for tailings containment and site reclamation. Its high tensile strength and puncture resistance prevent breaches, protecting the environment.
Mining
The product's high water flow rate makes it suitable for dewatering applications in Alberta's mining sector, and its high puncture resistance is crucial for tailings management.
Transportation
In transportation, GeoMods NW116 is used for subdrainage in highway construction, particularly critical during the spring breakup when melting snow can undermine road stability.
