Service Overview
Geosynthetics Africa is a specialist installer of channel lining systems using Tiltex GCCM (Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mat) - delivering high-performance, quality-controlled installation in support of mining, infrastructure, and water projects.
We position ourselves as Africa's installation specialists, securing civil & mine operations from erosion risk. Our systems are engineered to protect critical infrastructure under severe operating conditions.
Tiltex GCCM is a composite fabric of needle-punched geotextiles containing a dry concrete mix. When hydrated, it forms a high-strength, durable concrete layer that offers a flexible alternative to shotcrete, cast-in-place concrete, or gabions, reducing installation time and project cost.

Installation Expertise – Not Just Supply
While we supply premium materials, our core value is delivering specialist installation capability. We train and manage in-house crews to execute Tiltex installations efficiently, adhering to strict methodologies:
- Correct subgrade preparation: compaction and removal of sharp objects to protect backing layers
- Controlled panel deployment and orientation along the water flow direction
- Precise overlapping and securing (screwed, stapled, or thermal weld depending on conditions)
- Secure anchor trench detailing to prevent water bypass or mat pullout
- Controlled hydration: applying the correct water volume and timing for maximum strength
- Post-hydration inspections to check for voids, cracks, or layout displacement
- Fast mobilization to remote project sites across Southern, West, East, and Central Africa
