Lightweight and durable, geosynthetics are alternative materials to traditional building products<\/strong>. They are developed for many applications, including infrastructure and road construction, civil engineering, environmental protection, waste management, drainage and irrigation, as well as building shells.<\/p>\n

Highly specialized and functional products, they comprise a wide range of specific products: geomembranes, geotextiles, geotubes, geocomposites, geo-nets,<\/span> geogrids, etc.<\/p>\n

To benefit fully from all advantages to geosynthetics, it is important to know how to choose the right material for the right application.<\/p>\n

With mastery in aspects of chemistry, manufacturing technology, implementation, and on-site application of geosynthetics, SAGEOS experts can support you in the optimal development of your products.<\/p>\n

EXPERTS AND STATE-OF-THE-ART<\/span> EQUIPMENT
\n<\/span><\/strong>The research and development Centre is supported by a diversified fleet of characterization equipment dedicated to the many applications of geosynthetics. We highlight key characteristics of geosynthetics. SAGEOS has established itself over the years to become the most modern geosynthetics laboratory in Canada, and one of the most important centres of expertise in the world.<\/p>\n

This reputation allows SAGEOS today to attract some of the best talent in the industry, whether they are engineers, researchers or highly qualified technicians.<\/p>\n

Our expertise covers the following needs <\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Evaluation of the Hydromechanical Behavior of Geosynthetics: barrier properties, permeability, filtration, drainage, creep…<\/li>\n
  • Durability of Materials: lifetime prediction, accelerated aging due to exposure to fluorescent UV and xenon UV, chemical immersions, stress cracking, thermo-oxidation (OIT, HPOIT)…<\/li>\n
  • Environmental Assessment: effects of temperature variations on the interactions and stability of geosynthetics, freeze-thaw cycles, thermal expansion coefficients, solar reflectance index…<\/li>\n
  • Quantification of Contaminant Transfer Through Geosynthetic Barriers in Containment Systems: hydraulic load gradient (advection), concentration gradient (diffusion).<\/li>\n
  • Slope Stability analysis, Soil\/Soil, Soil\/Geosynthetics, and Geosynthetics\/Geosynthetics Interactions and Reinforcements.<\/li>\n
  • Designing of geotechnical modules structures with Geosynthetics for Drainage and Filtration, Reinforcement, or Barrier function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
