The products have been specifically developed with different trafficking requirements in mind because the demand can vary from occasional foot traffic to frequent-use or heavily-loaded vehicles. Therefore, it is important for you to know that you are working with a leading company who offer a full range of professional solutions and who also have technical, industry-based experience to assess the problem and provide the most appropriate cost-effective solution, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach.Fiberweb Geosynthetics Ltd and TERRAMTM productsFiberweb plc established Fiberweb Geosynthetics Ltd after the acquisition of Boddingtons International Ltd in 2010. The resulting portfolio not only includes the well-established TERRAM geosynthetics but also includes the grass and ground reinforcement products which were historically associated with Boddingtons Ltd. The entire UK manufacturing capability is being expanded and centralised at Maldon in Essex.Fiberweb Geosynthetics Ltd provides a unique range of value-engineered solutions that also help minimise the environmental impact of construction. With unrivalled expertise and experience in geosynthetics, accumulated over a 40 year period since the TERRAM range was first launched, the company remains committed to the development of innovative and cost-effective geosynthetic solutions.The company intends to lead the market in the design and manufacture of innovative geosynthetics, and continue to provide ground-breaking solutions.Fiberweb Geosynthetics manufacture a range of solutions to reinforce, stabilise and protect grass and gravel surfaces.

The oscillated mesh structure provides greater traction and significantly higher slip resistance when compared with standard mesh alternatives. GRASSPROTECTA mesh is available in two thicknesses: 14mm and 11mm.GRASSPROTECTA mesh is simple to install. The sward grows through the mesh apertures and knits with the filaments to create a strong, discreetly reinforced surface which is capable of withstanding vehicle loads, limiting damage and helping to reduce compaction by reducing direct contact with the soil surface. The grass can be mown, rolled and fertilised as normalduring this period and the mesh soon becomesunobtrusive. GRASSPROTECTA mesh can also be installed onto newly-landscaped areas and seeded as required.It is strongly advised that newly-installed areas remain untrafficked until the sward and the mesh have knitted - normally after a few weeks during the growing season, increasing to a few months out of season. Immediate use may restrict growth and limit the effectiveness of the installation.

The design of BODPAVE 85 pavers allows them to positively interlock with each other and resist shear. Once filled, they provide a high level of load-bearing performance. They are laid on a free-draining base and can be filled with either gravel for immediate frequent/intensive use, or with a seeded sand/soil toestablish a grassed surface for occasional consecutive use. Both options mean that the resulting pavement is porous and in sympathy with the environment.Note: a grassed surface may not be suitable for every application.The unique BODPAVE 85 design resists lateralmovement whilst accommodating expansion andcontraction, promotes surface traction and stabilityand encourages grass growth by protecting the roots.Permanent grassed or gravel car and coach parking, fire access routes, helipads, taxiways, cycle paths, driveways, access roads and other trafficked areas where a structurally-sound, well drained base is present or will be installed.

The markers are designed to clip positively into the plaque-shaped cells and can be fitted in various orientations to create solid/dotted lines and T or L shapes, etc, for parking bay heads, aisles and junctions.They can be permanently fixed in place by applying a suitable high-strength adhesive or an outdoor-frame sealant to the underside of the markers. If required, the markers can be reduced in size to create single-cell or double-cell-sized units by cutting accurately along the lines between each textured square/pyramidal section. It is recommended that these cut units are bonded in place to resist displacement.Free technical seminars can be arranged to suit your specific area of interest in our product range.

As an option a Tensar Triax TX160 geogrid at the base of this layer will allow a reduction in thesub-base depth. The sub-base is overlaid with aTerram geotextile filter/separator (e.g. T1000) followed by 20mm of coarse sand as a bedding layerfor the pavers.Once laid, the paver cells can be filled with afree-draining angular stone (e.g. 10mm gravel) or a good quality friable top soil and grass seed at 30/40 g/m2. The cells should not be overfilled so remove excess topsoil or stone from the surface. The topsoilsettlement that will occur within the paver cellsis desirable as this will allow grass growth without direct impact from traffic.Perimeter pavers should be restrained using pinned timber sleepers or precast kerbs. The pavers can be cut with a hand saw or power cutter for fitting around obstructions. The whole area should becompacted with either a plate vibrator or a small roller.For large TRUCKPAVE installations with full edge restraint to all sides it may be advisable to allow for expansion due to fluctuations in temperature.

See Arboricultural Advisory and Information Services APN12: Driveways close to trees.The system confines the sub-base, stabilises the ground and ensures that the roots beneath are protected from vehicle loads whilst still being able to breathe and obtain moisture and nutrients.A Terram GEOCELL is supplied as flat packed panels which are opened to form the characteristic honeycomb structure. These are positioned and pinned to the ground using J shaped metal pins and filled with a suitable, permeable fill. The geocell confines the fill and ensures that downward forces are spread laterally reducing loads on the underlying soils. Without the cellular system, the surface would become rutted and compacted with the traffic loads damaging the tree roots and potentially resulting in the death of the tree.Once filled, the geocell can be trafficked but it is not intended to be a permanent surface solution unless it is paved e.g. with BODPAVE 85 pavers.A Terram GEOCELL may be used as a temporary expediency e.g. when access to a site is limited by the presence of tree roots. On completion, the geocell can be removed, with the ground left undamaged, or paved with an appropriate surfacing.Permanent protection of tree roots wherea road, access route or driveway isrequired when existing trees are toremain undamaged by the excavationand finished trafficked surface.GEOCELLTree Root Protection20APPLICATIONS Permanent woodland trails Paths Driveways Roads Access routes Parking areasA geocell is the ideal solution for tree-protection areas.

The geocell is fabricated using a geotextile so it is permeable and allows water to flow between cells encouraging drainage and vegetation.It is supplied as compact man-handleable panels ready to be expanded on site to 5m x 7m or 6m x 3m areas with a honeycomb of diamond-shaped cells that are 100mm, 150mm or 200mm deep. Seeded topsoil is the most suitable fill for less-exposed slopes, with small shrubs offering improved protection, whilst a granular material offers the highest protection.Once placed and secured on the slope, the geocellcan be filled with soil or a mineral fill. The result is that the confined fill is able to better resist the erosiveeffects of wind and run-off. The expanded panels should be fixed at every perimeter cell and at 1mcentres throughout using steel fixing pins.The geocell is flexible enough to be formed around trees and other obstacles.Erosion control for grassed or vegetated slopes up to 1:1.

Structures with shallow foundations can be undermined. Damaged pipes, or pipes with faulty joints can become blocked by roots. Root growth is also known to cause desiccation of soils to the extent that soil shrinkage can result in parts of thefoundation no longer being supported. When this occurs structures may subside and crack, and in these circumstances expensive underpinning may be the only solution.The choice of ROOTGUARD product will depend uponthe application, specifically whether water needs to pass through the product:Terram RootGuard - permeable solutionIn some instances it may be necessary to have awater-permeable solution e.g. surrounding land drains.Although some permeable barriers may not provide the highest level of protection (see ROOTGUARD PLUS), they still provide excellent resistance.Terram ROOTGUARD is a geotextile manufactured from polypropylene/polyethylene fibres. It provides excellent resistance to root development; confirmed in numerous trials and commercial projects. Terram ROOTGUARD has high tensile strength, high puncture resistance and is capable of withstanding the differential forces that can develop in clay soils.Terram RootGuard Plus - impermeable solutionResearch has demonstrated that high-density polyethylene (HDPE) can withstand penetration by even the mostvigorous of tree roots. Terram ROOTGUARD PLUS - a composite of Terram ROOTGUARD and an HDPEmembrane is the choice when there is no requirementfor water to pass through the barrier.
