TX-MP
Nonwoven, needled geotextile, laminated with a PVC geomembrane, mainly used for civil engineering works
Made of polypropylene, polyester and PVC, TX-MP is a geocomposite used for protection.
- Reduces the effects of frost heave on catch basin and concrete manholes.
- Consisting of a nonwoven material laminated to a PVC geomembrane which surrounds the concrete manhole, it helps in the evacuation of water while restricting surface movement and heaving due to frost action.
- TX-MP, whose draining core in contact with the concrete manhole, allows the evacuation of infiltrated water between the frame and the paving, while the PVC geomembrane creates a discontinuity between the ground and the manhole, thanks to its low coefficient of friction.
- It prevents the vertical movement of concrete manhole sections upon frost heaving of the ground that would cause it to become higher relative to the roadway grade.
