About

Geofabrics is Australasia’s geosynthetic specialist. The company works to protect, contain and secure the physical environment using smart geotextile and geosynthetic product solutions. For more than 40 years, Geofabrics has helped clients mitigate environmental risk and increase value through research, product innovation and technical expertise across key infrastructure sectors, including roads, rail, mining, waste and containment, coastal protection, renewable energy and water. Geofabrics prides itself on delivering sustainable solutions to the infrastructure sector.

For over 35 years in New Zealand and 40 years in Australia, Geofabrics has supported significant infrastructure projects, from the Victorian Level Crossing Removal projects to APLNG in Queensland to the Christchurch Gondola in New Zealand. Across these projects, Geofabrics’ focus has been on providing smarter solutions that deliver value for its clients.

For Geofabrics, smarter infrastructure is about combining engineered product solutions with innovative research and development to identify value engineering opportunities. This creates greater opportunities to lower risk, costs and construction timeframes while increasing maintenance cycles and improving whole-of-life outcomes.

Drawing on its experience, Geofabrics tailors geosynthetic solutions to meet its clients’ performance and economic requirements. Its technical expertise extends across design and construction, including certified designs, construction recommendations and installation systems. Supported by a national team of engineers, a research and development GRID laboratory equipped for geosynthetic testing, product validation and innovation, and strategic alliances with multinational consulting engineering practices, Geofabrics provides comprehensive technical support for geosynthetics throughout Australasia.

Geofabrics employs more than 100 staff in two manufacturing plants in Albury (NSW) and Ormeau (QLD).

“Bidim Green on ISupply directory allows our customers to specify an Australian made geotextile to their IS rated projects. Bidim Green is an Australian made geotextile incorporating locally sourced recycled plastics. It gives the civil engineering community the opportunity to use in infrastructure projects, not only an Australian made geotextile, but one that makes a significant contribution to reducing waste to landfill while creating jobs for Australians in our manufacturing community.” Dennis Grech, CEO & Managing Director, Geofabrics Australasia.
