IMPORTANT NOTICE

The information contained in this brochure is general in nature. In par ticular the content of this brochure does not take account of specific conditions that may be present at your site. Such conditions include the soilcomposition, topography, land stability, climate, the present or proposed use of the site and adjacent lands- and many other factors. Those site conditions may alter the performance and longevity of the product and

in extreme cases may make the product wholly unsuitable. Any data or specifications contained in this brochure are values obtained in our laboratory. Actual dimensions and performance may var y. If your project

requires accuracy to a certain specified tolerance level you must advise us before ordering the product from us. We can then advise whether the product will meet the required tolerances. Where provided, installation

instructions cover installation of product in site conditions that are conducive to its use and optimum performance. If you have any doubts as to the installation instructions or their application to your site, please

contact us for clarification before commencing installation. In all cases we recommend that advice be obtained from a qualified consulting engineer before proceeding with installation. © Copyright held by Geofabrics

Machine Direction (MD) The direction in a machine-made abric, parallel to the direction o motiono the material through the processing machine i.e. along the length o the roll.

Cross Machine direction (XMD) The direction in a machine made abric, perpendicular to the direction o motion o the material through the processing machine i.e. across thewidth o the roll.

Typical Value A typical value is the arithmetic mean o a set o results, see diagrambelow. This implies that 50% o the tested specimens will typically exceedthis value and 50% will typically not meet this value.

Minimum Average Roll Values (MARV) MARV is a statistical derivation or any distribution o data. It is defned asthe mean or typical value less 2 standard deviations, (reer to diagrambelow). Mathematically it is implied that 97.5% o the tested specimenswill exceed the MARV value.
