GEOFORCE GEOTEXTILE was applied to the Plasencia railway station (Caceres) for the purpose of soil separation, protection and consolidation.

Since GEOFORCE geotextiles can withstand the high speeds and weight of trains, ROVER ALCISA, S.A. decided to install them at the Plasencia station to ensure additional soil resistance. Below are the benefits obtained by applying geotextile membranes to the soil during construction:

Separation: preventing contact between two materials with different properties, preventing potential mixing and contamination

Consolidation: enabling support and stabilization in the construction of railway stations and non-woven geo-textile fabric other types of soil that must withstand heavy loads.

Protection: GEOFORCE geotextile membranes protect the waterproof geogrid, preventing any mechanical damage caused by punctures or friction.

DLT GEOFORCE is a non-woven geotextile membrane made of 100% polypropylene fibers that are mechanically bonded using a needling process. This highly durable polypropylene geotextile membrane is ideal for use in soil separation, drainage filters, geogrid protection, waterproofing and shock absorption due to its superior mechanical properties.

By using a geotextile membrane such as GEOFORCE, the railway station soil will benefit from additional resilience, resulting in a stable, long-term ground despite constant train traffic.
