R&D EXCELLENCE

PRODUCT AND APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT & OPTIMIZATION

Product and Application Development

SAGEOS supports manufacturers, consulting engineers, and project owners throughout the entire innovation cycle, from initial concept development to performance validation under real service conditions. Our work aims to improve the performance, durability, and reliability of geosynthetic solutions while reducing technical risks prior to market introduction or field implementation.

Our teams work on both materials and complete geosynthetic systems, including their interactions with soils, fluids, and exposure environments. Projects carried out include advanced geomembranes and geocomposites, containment and drainage systems, gas and liquid management, as well as solutions adapted to aggressive environments, cold climates, and extended service life requirements.

Test Method Development and Optimization

When standardized methods do not allow for adequate characterization of a behavior, performance, or degradation mechanism, SAGEOS develops, adapts, and optimizes testing methods in alignment with existing standards and recognized industry practices.

This work includes the development of test devices, the study of influential parameters, and the adaptation of protocols to accurately represent real service conditions. It notably covers the evaluation of long-term behavior, creep and time-dependent deformation, rapid crack propagation, UV exposure, gas and liquid transmissivity, as well as soil–geosynthetic interactions under realistic loading conditions.

Applied Research Projects and Collaborative R&D

SAGEOS conducts and participates in applied research and experimental development projects aimed at advancing the functional performance, durability, and environmental sustainability of geosynthetics, in close collaboration with its partners and clients.

These projects are carried out with industrial, institutional, and academic partners, as well as with regulatory bodies when required. They notably address:

the durability and long-term aging of materials,
interface behavior and soil–geosynthetic interactions,
containment, drainage, and fluid and gas management systems,
the integration of innovative, recycled, bio-based, or biodegradable materials,
environmental applications such as mine tailings management, gas capture, odor control, anaerobic digestion, and erosion control in sensitive environments.

This work also includes the development of calculation tools, numerical models, and design-support software incorporating the actual performance of geosynthetics, in order to support engineering design and informed decision-making by engineers and project owners.

Advanced Testing and Custom Experimental Protocols

Beyond standardized methods, SAGEOS designs and implements advanced testing programs and custom experimental protocols to address specific technical needs, particular service conditions, or emerging regulatory requirements.

These tests may incorporate realistic or extreme conditions—including complex loading, aggressive chemical environments, and long-term thermal, hydraulic, or mechanical stresses—and are supported by a broad range of specialized equipment. The scientific expertise and applied engineering approach of our teams enable the generation of reliable data that can be directly used for design, validation, and decision-making under real-world conditions.

Over the years, our researchers and experts have published several hundred scientific papers and technical communications, many of which have been presented at major international conferences. These publications focus in particular on the development and optimization of test methods, performance characterization, analysis of critical parameters, and the improvement of laboratory and field testing practices.

Recent work includes, among others:

the optimization of nanocomposite membranes for HDPE geomembranes,
the thermal, chemical, and mechanical durability of geomembranes, including behavior at high temperatures and under solar radiation,
the quantification of plasticizers in PVC geomembranes,
the dewatering of mine tailings and oil sands using electroconductive geocomposites,
the filtration performance of geotextiles in complex environments (biological clogging, acid drainage, leachates),
the development of multilayer geocomposites for drainage and gas extraction,
the gas permeability of geomembranes (methane, CO₂),
the influence of color and co-extruded layers on membrane behavior,
hydrophobic treatments applied to natural fibers, virgin or recycled,
as well as the development and characterization of new test methods (friction, compression, light transmission, thermal expansion, etc.).

These contributions reflect SAGEOS’s scientific leadership and its commitment to advancing practices within the geosynthetics and advanced textile materials industries.
