SKAPS Technical Data Sheets
SKAPS Products Geotextiles: SKAPS Industries offers an extensive range of woven and non-woven geotextile fabrics with varied weights and properties to suit an array of applications. These geotextile fabrics, designed with 100% polypropylene raw materials, are engineered to resist ultraviolet deterioration, rotting, biological degradation, and naturally occurring alkaline and acids.
Non-Woven
Woven
SKAPS geogrid is a polypropylene geogrid especially designed for soil stabilization and reinforcement applications. Geogrids are manufactured from a unique process of extrusion and punched and drawn to biaxial orientation to enhance tensile properties. SKAPS geogrids feature consistently high tensile strength and modulus, excellent resistance to construction damage, and environmental exposure.
SKAPS Geonet is a three-dimensional bi-planar net manufactured from high-density polyethylene for better flow under high loading. SKAPS manufactures geonets in thicknesses ranging from 4mm to 10mm, laminated with non-woven geotextiles from 120 gsm to 680 gsm, depending on the customer’s needs and the project’s design specifications. A three-dimensional biplanar (drainage core) provides higher lateral drainage of liquids and gases in all directions.
SKAPS Geocomposites are drainage products manufactured with three-dimensional bi-planar Geonet which are laminated either on one side or both sides with non-woven geotextiles. They offer lightweight, factory-controlled, easy installation, and environmentally friendly solutions to traditional drainage materials such as granular stones, gravel, and sand. SKAPS Geocomposites are manufactured with varying widths depending upon the customer’s need.
SKAPS NexaTube Containment Units are engineered to deliver superior tensile strength and advanced filtration performance. Designed to effectively confine materials ranging from fine sediments to large-grain sand, NexaTube systems are ideal for both disposal applications and permanent structural installations.
