New Geostrip Product from Maccaferri 
ParaWeb™ GeoStrips are planar structures consisting of a core of high tenacity polyester yarn tendons encased in a polyethylene sheath.
The strips are suitable for reinforcement applications in combination with concrete wall facing panels.
They are amongst the most tested geostrips in the world offering 120 year design life and high performance.
The incredibly tough polyethylene sheath is resistant to physical, chemical and biological conditions found in reinforced soil structures.
Important ParaWeb strips have a high level of alkaline resistance by virtue of the presence of the protective polyethylene sheath.
