PRODUCT GUIDE

CASE STUDY - PARK RIDGE SUBDIVISION

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Park Ridge residential subdivision is estimated to be a $5.7 million development and a masterstroke of community living blended with parks and established environmental and conservation areas. The project first commenced in 2018 and has since been released in a series of stages. Our customer, Shadforths Civil, was selected as the key civil construction contractor for new roads and parklands surrounding the subdivision.

CHALLENGES

The main challenge Shadforths Civil faced was how to achieve adequate drainage for the existing waterway corridor. This was located alongside the planned park area and needed to be managed to ensure minimal effect on the surrounding construction in the event of heavy rain or a flood event.

JAYBRO'S SOLUTION

Shadforths Civil chose Jaybro and GEOmasta as a preferred supplier of coir mesh. This environmentally friendly product is a naturally fibrous and loose-knit material which promotes vegetation growth and a healthy environment for plant establishment. It also controls erosion with its strong, high tensile fibres, ensuring good erosion control over the medium term until the product eventually breaks down naturally into the soil.

The EROmasta coir mesh from Jaybro is being used to provide adequate filtration around the parklands and waterway areas of the estate.

Also used on this project were Jaybro’s rock-filled gabion mattresses. These simple yet strong wire mesh baskets are being used to create a secure sloped rock wall which will function as the embankment for the new waterway corridor.

With their highly porous free-draining construction, the gabions are ideal to provide bank stabilisation and yet still allow water to be filtrated. As they are constructed from flexible woven mesh, these gabions will settle into the landscape with expected natural soil movement, but will not compromise the overall parkland structure.

mastaWALL Mattresses are low profile baskets constructed of double-twisted hexagonal woven galvanized steel wire. The mattress construction contains internal diaphragms that create compartments or cells for stone fill, which are designed to ensure even distribution of the rock fill even after natural settling and structural movement.

The mattress range is available in 6m x 2m sizes in different thicknesses to suit different fills.

CASE STUDY - ORAN CREEK SPLASH PARK

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Contractors Glascott Landscape and Civil are putting the final touches on a new water park and recreation area at Oran Park in Sydney’s west. The Ron’s Creek Open Space and Splash Park Project is situated on a 2.5 hectare site in the Camden LGA.

Glascott Landscape and Civil’s involvement includes lighting, electrical and irrigation services, a bio-retention basin, a spillway bridge, plus significant planting and landscaping works. Beneath the surface, a complex network of services, pumps and filters drive the 30 water features that form this aquatic play space.

CHALLENGES

As there was a significant amount of tree planting involved in this project, the contractor needed a fast and reliable supplier of hardwood stakes and tree ties. A large number of trees would require support at this open, exposed and potentially windy site.

Using twin hardwood stakes and hessian tree tie straps to brace the newly planted trees ensured they would not be damaged whilst they were growing.

JAYBRO'S SOLUTION

Jaybro’s GEOmasta division assisted Glascott Landscape and Civil with hardwood tree stakes and hessian tree ties. GEOmasta hessian webbing is 50mm wide and designed to support newly planted trees during the initial establishment period when used in conjunction with hardwood stakes.

When used together, hardwood stakes and hessian tree ties reduce excessive movement caused by wind, allowing young trees time to establish their root systems.

GEOmasta carries a wide range of tree planting products including stakes in various sizes, canes, corflute and plastic tree guards, water-wells and HDPE root barrier.

To find out more or get a quote on your tree planting needs, contact our GEOmasta landscaping team at Jaybro.

GEOTEXTILE INSTALLATION GUIDE

mastaTEX® geotextile rolls are packaged in heavy duty plastic wrapping that is PTFE UV resistant. Each roll is labelled with an identification code, width, length and batch number.

1. Site Storage and Handling

Our Recommendations

y Store mastaTEX rolls out of direct sunlight, and suspended off the ground.

y When installing mastaTEX™ geotextile rolls over 150kg’s on slopes or embankments, it is recommended you use the assistance of the GEOmasta 2-part spreader bar (Please contact us for further details).

y Geotextile rolls are not to be left exposed or uncovered for more than 14 days. Covering within 48 hours is recommended.

y Before construction vehicles/ equipment should drive on the geotextile, it should be covered by a minimum of 200mm uncompact fill. For site specific requirements please seek the advice of a geotechnical engineer.

y Damaged geotextiles, before or during installation should be replaced to ensure the strength of the geotextile isn’t affected.

y Proper replacement shall consist of replacing the affected area and adding at least one metre additional geotextile to all sides of the affected area.

2. Placement

y Placement of geotextiles should be in accordance with project specific guidelines.

y Prior to geotextile placement, the ground must be cleared of any obstructions such as trees, shrubs and rocks, to form a smooth level surface.

y Geotextiles should be laid in the direction of strain or according to project specifications, with consideration to removal of wrinkles or pre-tensioning of rolls.

y For placement of heavier rolls on slopes or embankments, a GEOmasta 2-part spreader bar is recommended.

To ensure the geotextile properties are not negatively impacted in any way, appropriate site storage and handling procedures should be followed.

3. Overlapping

y Overlapping of geotextiles is required to provide continuance in strength and separation performance through frictional resistance between layers.

y Overlap width is primarily dependant on the ground conditions, however there will be some variance between types of geosynthetics being installed. Ground conditions are typically measured in CBR (California Bearing Ratio) and this is used as a guideline to determine geotextile grades and overlap widths required.

Recommended Minimum Overlap as per Austroads, Guide to Geotextiles – Technical report January 1990

1-2 600 - 900mm

All roll ends on subgrade as above Roll ends on slopes 900mm or sewn

Austroads, Guide to Geotextiles – Technical report January 1990.

4. Fill Placement

When placing fill over an installed geotextile or geogrid, it must be done in a way that the joints or overlaps are not damaged. A leading edge of geotextile or grid must not be exposed, with the geotextile being laid in roof shingle configuration.

Construction plant or equipment is not to drive directly on uncovered geotextiles. To avoid damage and a reduction in material performance, a minimum uncompacted fill of 200mm is recommended before allowing vehicles or plant to travel on installed geosynthetics.

y Where applicable, store geogrid under cover and suspended off the ground.

y When installing mastaGRID rolls on slopes or embankments use the assistance of the Geomasta 2-part spreader bar (Please contact us for further details).

y mastaGRID PET rolls should not be left exposed or uncovered for more than 14 days, however mastaGRID PP grids will not be affected if left exposed for up to 45 days

y Damaged mastaGRID rolls, before or during installation should be replaced to ensure the strength of the geotextile isn’t affected.

y Proper replacement shall consist of replacing the affected area and adding at least one metre additional geogrids to all sides of the affected area. (Refer to Figure 4.1 - HS Woven Replacement)

y Before construction vehicles/ equipment should drive on the HS Woven it should be covered by a minimum of 200mm uncompact fill. For site specific requirements please seek the advice of a geotechnical engineer.

2. Subgrade Preparation And Installation

Subgrade shall be prepared prior to placement, providing a level and uniform ground surface, with appropriate clearing and grubbing performed to accomplish this. Also refer to the project documents as additional preparation could be outlined in them and may be required.

Where applicable in a subgrade improvement application, mastaTEX geotextile are to be installed as a separation layer below the geogrid to segregate subgrade and fill layers.

mastaGRID shall be installed in accordance with the lines and grades shown on the plans and specifications. All wrinkles and folds must be removed. When required, the mastaGRID PET may be pretensioned to eliminate slack, this is particularly applicable to uniaxial products.

3. Overlapping

Sufficient overlap width is required between mastaGRID rolls to ensure a constant tensile strength is maintained across all joins. The amount of overlap depends primarily on the subgrade conditions and the potential for equipment to cause ruts.

Subgrade strength and the CBR value can be used as a guideline for the minimum overlap required – see table below.

Install Jute Mesh

When installing EROmasta™ Jute Mesh you should follow the below recommendations;

1. Lay in direction of the flow of water

2. Overlap mesh to protect leading edges from the flow of water and wind by at least 100mm.

3. When installing on embankments, a trench at least 200mm is required at the top to lay mesh into, pin down and backfill. Pins should be 500-750mm apart.

4. As a general rule 2-3 pins required per m2.

5. Allow the mesh to follow the natural contour of the terrain, do not apply tension to the mesh when laying. This will prevent suitable connection with the soil subgrade and could affect vegetation growth.

GEOMASTA® HDPE LINER

® HDPE Liner

Due to its excellent chemical resistance and low material cost, HDPE is extremely popular in lining applications requiring low permeability and high strength/density ratio. HDPE Liners are becoming more widely used as the implications of contaminated soil conditions on structures and the general environment. GEOmasta® HDPE Liners are most commonly used in lining of channels, small dams and other containment structures.

HDPE is known for its large strength to density ratio. The density of HDPE can range from 930 to 970 kg/m3. Although the density of HDPE is only marginally higher than that of low-density polyethylene, HDPE has little branching, giving it stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength than LDPE. The difference in strength exceeds the difference in density, giving HDPE a higher specific strength. It is also harder and more opaque and can withstand somewhat higher temperatures (120°C/ 248°F for short periods).

Silt Sock

SILTmasta™Silt Socks are factory fabricated from high quality U.V. resistant filter fabric. SILTmasta™ Silt Socks are designed to go around drains and trap any sediment but allow water to flow through. SILTmasta™ Silt Socks can be filled with sand or gravel and placed around different site storm water inlets or across open drains. Material consists of PET.

The purpose is to minimise the silt or sediment loss from sites and the entry of these particles into storm water systems and essentially protect the natural waterways. Available in 50m rolls or 4m lengths.

SILT CURTAIN & SILT WARDEN

™ SiltCurtain

The Siltmasta™ SiltCurtain controls silt run off in streams by acting as a floating barrier. The curtain is made from geotextile material with polystyrene floats and a ballast pocket at the bottom for chain. Silt Curtains, also known as Sediment Curtains or Flotation Curtains, are designed and used to control sediment, algae or debris movement in waterways.

Silt Curtains consist of a high visibility reinforced plastic flotation pocket, and a non woven needle punched geotextile skirt to act as the filter and ballast pocket.

y Float: Closed Cell foam Flotation

y Material: 300gsm PET Non Woven Geotextile

™ SiltWarden

The unique design of the ASSISE™ SiltWarden uses a high tensile UV stabilised HDPE shade cloth to provide storm water inlet protection. The ASSISE™ SiltWarden fits inside an existing drain pit while the drain grate holds this inlet protection device in place. The superior horticultural shade cloth captures silt, course sediments and debris whilst allowing water to flow through the storm water drain. Designed for easy removal with forklift or other equipment, Silt Wardens are ideal for retaining silt on construction sites before roadways and infrastructure is laid.
