Challenge:
The client needed a solution to separate the lakebed from the rock in a lake causeway.
Achievement:
Titan was selected to supply and install prefabricated geotextile panels, completing the project in just 4 days—half the usual time—while delivering significant cost savings by eliminating on-site seaming and reducing overall installation costs.
Product Used:

Location: Portage la Prairie, Manitoba
Project Type: Product Supply & Installation
Product Used: Prefabricated Geotextile system
Challenge
The client was looking for a solution to separate the lakebed and rock in a lake causeway.
Titan Solution
Titan supplied and installed a prefabricated geotextile system covering an area of 9,500m² in a lake causeway. This system worked to separate the lake bed and rock and included a total of three separate sections of geotextile panels that were pre-sewn off-site. Once on-site these three sections were joined to form one large panel which was pulled into the body of water by hand and by boat. The final step involved weighing down the submerged panel with sandbags in preparation of the rock placement by the earthwork’s contractor.
Geotextiles, also known as geofabric or filter cloth, are essential materials used in civil construction, infrastructure development, and environmental protection. These permeable fabrics are designed to separate, filter, reinforce, and protect soil and other materials in a wide range of applications.
Achievement
Titan completed the installation in only 4 days, which is half the time it would have taken without prefabricated geotextile panels. This solution provided the client with significant cost savings by eliminating on-site seaming, decreasing installation time and reducing overall project costs. Titan was chosen for this project because of our ability to both supply and install prefabricated geotextile panels.
