Kaytech Sudpave Permeable Paving Grid
Sudpave™ plastic grid pavers are used to control the run-off of rain water to limit the impact on over loaded storm water infrastructure. Sudpave™ is an open cell structure, which is either gravel filled, for frequent intensive use, or grass planted for occasional consecutive use. The open structure allows rain water to permeate into the ground at its source. Sudpave™ is now manufactured in South Africa to meet the increasing demand for paving products that satisfy the requirements of a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS).
The PS Bag is a reinforced, geosynthetic bag, consisting of a mechanically bonded woven/nonwoven composite fabric, with a dimensioned geotextile drainage base. These bags are filled with wet tailings material, sand or soil, and are mainly used as support plinths below concrete, HDPE or steel pipes.
Composite asphalt reinforcement interlayer. SealGrid® consists of high strength glass fibre roving knitted to a paving fabric to form a reinforced composite paving fabric. Application areas of SealGrid®: under or between asphalt layers where high horizontal or vertical stresses occur…
Flodrain by Supplier Kaytech The ready-made solution to subsoil drainage. The FloDrain™ can be successfully used in the lowering of the water table or intercepting seepage in a wide range of applications: roadside edge drains, railtrack formation edge drainage, sportsfields, behind retaining walls and bridge abutments…
Kaytech | Sealmac® Dam Lining System
This economical easy-to-apply dam lining system is the answer to all your water retaining requirements. Constructed using Sealmac and impregnated with 3 coats of a mineral-filled latex emulsion sealing compound, it provides a robust, highly elastic bitumen coating that is nontoxic and impervious to water.
Kaytech | Concrete Canvas | Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats
Concrete Canvas is part of a class of construction materials called Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats (GCCMs). It is a flexible, concrete impregnated fabric that harden on hydration to form a thin, durable, waterproof and fire-resistant concrete layer. It is used in channel lining, slope protection, bund lining, remediation of existing concrete structures, and culvert lining.
