Huesker Robutec High Modulus Woven Geotextiles

Robutec® is an extremely high modulus, low-creep and alkali-resistant reinforcement geotextile manufactured / woven from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres.

Robutec® is used as soil reinforcement in demanding construction projects where low deformation plays a crucial role. Typical applications include construction projects with significant geotechnical difficulties and strict limits on deformation.

Longitudinal and transverse strengths can be tailored to suit your project-specific requirements.

HUESKER Synthetic’s in house engineering department can provide expert advice on the choice of Robutec® geotextile, assistance with stability checks, design calculations etc.

ROBUTEC® BENEFITS
