FabriFlex Erosion control mats are three-dimensional mat specifically made to prevent slope erosion and promote vegetation growth. The three-dimensional structure of erosion control mat helps to restrain the movement of topsoil on steep slopes, preventing it from falling before vegetation growth. When the slope is hydroseeded, the erosion control mats protect the seed from being washed away. When vegetation started to grow, roots penetrating through the three-dimensional structure reinforces the vegetation. Erosion control mats are highly resistance against environmental and chemical degradation.

FabriFlex Geotextile Tube GTT (Geotubes) is manufactured from high strength geotextile to form a tube like large containers for various hydraulic applications. The geotextile tube is generally filled with in-situ sand slurry for rapid deployment. They are used mainly to form artificial coastal or near shore structures such as breakwater, groin, revetment, etc. for erosion protection. Geotextile tube is used as an alternative to hard erosion protection structures for its cost, technical  and environmental benefits.   

By varying the geotextile component, FabriFlex Geotubes can be used for dewatering of sludge in mining, agricultural and environmental applications. The geotextile tube acts as a containment for the sludge while allowing water draining from the geotextile, effectively reduces the volume of the sludge and area required to contain it.

FabriFlex W is manufactured by weaving two or more sets of polymeric filaments/yarns to form a geotextile with stable pattern. Woven geotextile has high tensile modulus and able to support soil structure when installed under weak ground condition. Using the right weaving technique and filament type, they serve as an effective filter with good permeability and soil retention.

FabriFlex W comes in a varieties of configuration to suit your application. Woven geotextile is commonly used for separation, filtration and stabilisation. Stringent quality control ensures the material meets project requirements.

Fabriflex FP is manufactured from randomly laid polymeric fibres needle-punched together to form a geotextile sheet. Nonwoven geotextile has high mechanical robustness and excellent filter performance, they are typically used for separation and filtration in applications such as civil, hydraulic, containment, etc. A unique characteristic of needle-punched geotextile is the high elongation, allowing great conformance of the material towards deformation.  

FabriFlex FP produced using high quality fibres ensure superior resistance against chemical degradation. The geotextile is UV stabilised to prevent rapid degradation before soil cover. The material comes in roll form is easy to work with, requiring minimal machineries and labours.

FabriFlex HW is a type of woven geotextile manufactured from high tenacity polyester yarns with superior tensile performance. It is commonly used for reinforcement for soil structures (i.e., embankments, slopes, etc.). It is also used in piled embankment to improve the system by replacing concrete slab or reducing pile cap size. 

FabriFlex HW, high strength woven geotextile is able to achieve but not limited to 1,000 kN/m. High quality yarns are used to manufacture the material, ensuring excellent tensile strength mobilisation at low elongation, excellent long-term performance against creep reduction, installation damage, chemical and biological degradation.

FabriFlex GM HDPE geomembrane is manufactured by extruding polyethylene into a sheets of membrane. High density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane are widely used as barrier for various containment applications owing to its chemical stability and low permeability. 

FabriFlex GM HDPE geomembrane has excellent chemical resistant. The material could withstand wide range of chemicals with minimal effects to its performance. Seams and overlaps on the geomembrane is further sealed by fusion or extrusion welding. HDPE geomembrane has long track records, proving its effectiveness in different conditions. 

FabriFlex FG is are a polymeric, mesh-like planar structures consisting of aperture openings in between a longitudinal and transverse ribs integrally connected at an angle. The high tenacity fibres used to form the ribs are further protected by a layer of protective polymeric coating. 

FabriFlex FG comes in a large range of strength for different applications. Geogrids are commonly used as reinforcement for different application from road base stabilisation to reinforcement for wall and slope. Their large apertures are ideal for granular fill, restraining lateral movement of the fill material by mean of interlocking effect.

FabriFlex GC represents the composite group of materials formed by combining more than one type of synthetic materials. It represents material such as geocomposite drainage net for drainage application, composite nonwoven for elevated filter or outdoor performance or even composite geogrid to enhance separation. 

Composite materials are manufactured to fulfil certain demand, be it site condition or a special requirements for the project. The most commonly used composite material is geocomposite drainage nets to facilitates in-plane flow. This materials are used to replace natural drainage material for cost effectiveness and better technical performance.

Geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) is a thin and durable, self-healing modern hydraulic barrier used for containment. The factory controlled composites material is made of high swelling sodium bentonite, needle-punched in between two geotextiles. Low hydraulic conductivity of sodium bentonite effectively contains liquid from migrating outward. The needle punching process reinforce the GCL and increases its internal shear strength, ensuring the performance on steeper and longer slope. It is also dimensionally more stable, better resistance to shrinkage.

FabriFlex B, geosynthetic clay liners are used in various containment applications, a perfect alternative to compacted clay liner with equivalent and better performance. Installation is made simple by just rolling and overlapping the material. Contributed by various advantages, GCL has a lesser carbon footprint.
