 The use of geotextiles in construction projects around the world has grown substantially since their humble beginnings in the 1960’s. Geotextiles in one form or another are now used in virtually every civil engineering construction project. While a number of generic classes of geotextile are manufactured by far the most popular geotextile is the nonwoven needle punched style of product due to its versatility and overall performance. bidim^® was first produced in 1969 and continues to lead the way in terms of technical performance and range of applications.

bidim^® is a continuous filament nonwoven needle punched polyester geotextile designed to provide effective and economic solutions to a multitude of engineering applications. Introduced into Australia in 1978 bidim^® geotextiles have a proven track record, which is unsurpassed.

bidim^® nonwoven needle punched geotextile is manufactured to the highest international standards and has ISO9001:2000 accreditation. As a result you can rely on the fact that, when you use bidim^® for your construction project, you receive the same top quality from the first to the last metre on the roll.

Geofabrics Australasia is the only geotextile manufacturer in Australia, with plants in Albury and the Gold Coast. As Australia’s geotextile supplier of choice we pride ourselves in providing the best service to customers throughout the country.

The knowledge gained over the past 29 years allows our technical staff to provide relevant support based on local conditions and sound experience.

Drainage

bidim^® nonwoven geotextiles are ideally suited to subsoil drainage systems used to remove water from road layer works, sports fields and behind retaining walls. The three dimensional structure of a nonwoven needle punched geotextile ensures high through flow rates and hence excellent drainage performance.

Separation

bidim^® needle punched geotextiles are used extensively in construction of roads and embankments over soft ground. The separation geotextile ensures the soft subgrade does not contaminate the fill material quality. The high elongation characteristics (>50%) of bidim^® nonwoven geotextiles limits installation damage which ensures long term performance.

Filtration

bidim^® polyester geotextiles outperform natural filters in many applications particularly revetments and subsoil drainage. The extremely high porosity of nonwoven geotextiles allows water flow while preventing fines migration. The complex flow path mimics a natural filter and provides considerable cost saving over a traditional graded natural filter.

Protection

Heavy weight bidim^® needle punched geotextiles provide excellent protection to liner systems in landfills, heap leach pads and general landfill lining applications. The protection geotextile cushions the forces that otherwise have been directly transferred onto the liner. The inclusion of a geotextile protection layer can extend the life and maintain the integrity of the lining system for many years.

Reinforcement

bidim^® continuous filament geotextiles are often used as reinforcing elements in retaining structures which are designed to flex such as blast walls or temporary retaining structures. The nature of the continuous filaments ensure good strength characteristics while the needle punching allows a high level of flexibility.
