Textiles in civil engineering - Benefit from rethinking.
The civil engineering business undergoes a radical change, and is in search of innovative solutions with high efficiency and low resource consumption. You should also benefit from this rethinking! Use the machines of KARL MAYER Technical Textiles in order to produce textile concrete reinforcements, roof materials and plaster grids, thus, making building and renovating easier, more eco-friendly and faster. Or you can manufacture geogrids and composite structures for infrastructure projects, that offer various functions in a well thought out material composition.
KARL MAYER offers a width range machine portfolio with customized machine solutions for your projects. With our flexible machines we can guarantee a efficient production of textiles for the entire application area of civil engineering.
Application Overview
-
Plaster grids
By embedding the reinforcing fabric, an effective increase of the crack resistance in the plaster is achieved and undesired crack formation, e.g. due to vibrations, is avoided.
