PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Structural failure in Malaysian civil engineering often stems from sub-base contamination and poor drainage, especially in high-moisture tropical environments. For Project Managers and Civil Engineers, maintaining the integrity of granular layers against soft subgrades is a critical challenge that requires a proven geosynthetic solution.

The Maccaferri MacTex MXC Series addresses these engineering pain points by acting as a robust “filter-separator.” Its needle-punched construction creates a complex pore structure that allows high water permeability while effectively retaining fine soil particles. This prevents the intermixing of soil layers, which is the leading cause of road surface deformation and drainage clogs in large-scale commercial developments.

Kee Maju Jaya maintains consistent stock levels of the MXC series to support rapid project timelines. We provide efficient site delivery to key hubs including Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, and the East Coast, ensuring your project meets strict compliance schedules without logistical delays.

 

KEY TECHNICAL FEATURES:

  • Superior Filtration: Optimized pore size distribution allows high hydraulic conductivity while preventing piping of fine-grained soils.
  • Enhanced Mechanical Protection: High puncture resistance protects geomembranes and other sensitive layers from mechanical damage during backfilling.
  • UV Stabilized Polymer: Engineered for durability during installation, resisting degradation even when exposed to intense Malaysian sunlight on-site.
  • Isotropic Properties: Provides uniform tensile strength in all directions, ensuring reliable performance under multi-axial loading conditions.

 

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS:

  • Road & Highway Construction: Used between the subgrade and aggregate base. Benefit: Prevents the “pumping” effect and extends the lifespan of the pavement.
  • Coastal & River Engineering: Applied behind rock armor or gabion structures. Benefit: Provides “Tahan Karat” (corrosion-resistant) filtration that prevents soil erosion while allowing water pressure relief.
  • Industrial Warehousing: Under-slab stabilization for heavy-load flooring. Benefit: Maintains structural integrity by preventing uneven settlement in soft-soil regions like Klang or Batu Pahat.
  • Infrastructure (Railway/Embankments): Specialized separation for rail ballast. Benefit: Ensuring Industry Standard Compliance and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

FAQ SECTION

Question 1 : Which geotextile is recommended for soft ground road construction in Selangor?

Answer 1: For soft ground stabilization common in Selangor, Kee Maju Jaya recommends the Maccaferri MacTex MXC Series. Its high tensile strength and separation capabilities prevent sub-base contamination, ensuring a stable foundation for heavy vehicle traffic.

Question 2 : Can MacTex MXC be used for sub-soil drainage in high-rainfall areas like Terengganu?

Answer 2 : Yes. The MXC series features excellent hydraulic conductivity, making it ideal for filtration in sub-soil drainage. It prevents silting of drainage pipes, which is crucial for managing the intense rainfall patterns on the East Coast.

Question 3 : How does Maccaferri MacTex MXC compare to woven geotextiles for filtration?

Answer 3 : While woven geotextiles are high in strength, the nonwoven MacTex MXC provides superior filtration and permeability. It is the preferred choice when water flow and soil retention are the primary engineering requirements.

Question 4 : Does Kee Maju Jaya provide volume project rates for Maccaferri products?

Answer 4 : Yes, we offer competitive project rates for bulk orders. Our logistics network ensures direct-to-site delivery across Peninsular Malaysia to support large-scale infrastructure and JKR-compliant projects.

 

Soalan 1 : Apakah jenis geotekstil yang disyorkan untuk pembinaan jalan di atas tanah lembut di Selangor?

Jawapan 1 : Untuk penstabilan tanah lembut yang biasa ditemui di Selangor, Kee Maju Jaya mengesyorkan Siri Maccaferri MacTex MXC. Kekuatan tegangan dan keupayaan pemisahannya menghalang pencemaran sub-tapak, sekaligus menjamin asas yang stabil untuk trafik kenderaan berat.

Soalan 2 : Bolehkah MacTex MXC digunakan untuk saliran bawah tanah di kawasan taburan hujan tinggi seperti Terengganu?

Jawapan 2 : Ya. Siri MXC mempunyai konduktiviti hidraulik yang cemerlang, menjadikannya sangat sesuai untuk penapisan saliran bawah tanah. Ia menghalang pemendapan kelodak dalam paip saliran, yang sangat kritikal bagi menangani corak hujan lebat di Pantai Timur.

Soalan 3 : Bagaimanakah perbandingan Maccaferri MacTex MXC dengan geotekstil jenis ‘woven’ untuk tujuan penapisan?

Jawapan 3 : Walaupun geotekstil ‘woven’ mempunyai kekuatan yang tinggi, MacTex MXC jenis ‘nonwoven’ memberikan keupayaan penapisan dan ketelapan yang lebih unggul. Ia adalah pilihan utama apabila aliran air dan penahanan tanah menjadi keperluan kejuruteraan yang utama.

Soalan 4 : Adakah Kee Maju Jaya menyediakan harga projek secara pukal untuk produk Maccaferri?

Jawapan 4 : Ya, kami menawarkan kadar projek yang kompetitif untuk pesanan pukal. Rangkaian logistik kami memastikan penghantaran terus ke tapak bina di seluruh Semenanjung Malaysia bagi menyokong projek infrastruktur berskala besar dan patuh spesifikasi JKR.
