Geosynthetics supplier & installer in Malaysia.
Starwall Sdn Bhd, our group sister company under the same ownership as Infraconcrete Construction, is the sole appointed distributor of STRATA Geosystems for Malaysia. Geogrid, geotextile, geocell, geocomposite drainage, and reinforced soil systems, supplied (Starwall) + designed + installed (Infraconcrete CIDB G7) under one ownership. StrataGrid uniaxial PET, StrataGrid Biaxial PP, StrataWeb HDPE geocell, StrataTex HSR woven geotextile, StrataDrain geocomposite, plus the StrataSlope / StrataWall / StrataBlock reinforced soil family. ISO 9001:2015. To BS 8006, ASTM D6637, ISO 10319, FHWA-NHI-10-024, JKR.
Manufacturer-backed engineering, not just stock.
STRATA Geosystems is one of the world's largest geosynthetics manufacturers, 65 million m² of StrataGrid installed across 50+ countries, 250,000+ StrataWeb panels per month, ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing, full LRFD design support. Choosing STRATA isn't choosing a brand; it's getting certified material plus the manufacturer's geotechnical engineering team behind every project, a level of design support most local suppliers can't match.
Starwall (the appointed STRATA distributor) holds local stock of the principal lines (StrataGrid uniaxial PET, StrataGrid Biaxial PP, StrataWeb HDPE, StrataTex HSR), pulls in specialised products ex-factory on project demand, and channels STRATA's manufacturer engineering. Infraconcrete (CIDB G7, same ownership) handles installation and design. One ownership, one accountability, full warranty chain.
Five categories, one distributor.
StrataGrid uniaxial + biaxial →
StrataGrid uniaxial PET (high-tenacity polyester) for MSE walls, reinforced slopes, steep embankments. StrataGrid Biaxial PP for paved/unpaved roads, basal reinforcement on soft soils. To ASTM D6637, ISO 10319.
Read guideStrataTex HSR + nonwoven →
StrataTex HSR high-strength woven for basal reinforcement on soft ground. Nonwoven geotextile for separation, filtration, drainage. To ASTM D4595, ISO 10319.
Read guideStrataWeb HDPE →
3D cellular confinement system for slope protection, channel lining, load support on poor subgrade, retaining wall infill. Black HDPE, perforated or solid cells.
Read more belowStrataDrain →
Subsurface drainage behind retaining walls and on bridge abutments. Replaces conventional aggregate drainage layer with a compact composite.
Read more belowStrataSlope, StrataWall, StrataBlock →
Full MSE-wall and reinforced soil slope packages: facing block, geogrid reinforcement, drainage, all from one manufacturer with one design.
Read more belowRetaining walls →
Where the STRATA geosynthetics integrate into our retaining-wall and slope scope. RE wall, MSE wall, modular block.
Read guideCellular confinement for poor ground.
StrataWeb is a 3D cellular confinement system fabricated from black HDPE strips ultrasonically welded into a honeycomb panel. When opened on site, the cells are filled with granular material, vegetated topsoil, or concrete depending on application. Confined fill behaves stiffer than free fill, bearing capacity rises, lateral spread is suppressed, erosion resistance jumps.
Slope protection & vegetation
Open cells filled with topsoil + grass / Vetiver. Holds soil on slopes 1V:1.5H to 1V:0.7H. Common application on Malaysian highway and rail cut slopes.
Channel lining
Concrete- or aggregate-filled cells line drainage channels and spillways. High-velocity flow without scour. Replacement for cast-in-situ concrete lining.
Load support, paved & unpaved
Sub-base reinforcement on weak subgrade. Mining haul roads, plantation access roads, parking platforms. Reduces aggregate thickness 30-50%.
Retaining wall & gravity wall
Stacked cells become a gravity retaining wall. Lower-cost alternative to gabion wall in low-height applications. Vegetatable face for green slopes.
Subsurface drainage without aggregate.
StrataDrain is a geocomposite drainage layer combining a polymer drainage core with geotextile filter fabric on one or both sides. Installed vertically behind retaining walls, on bridge abutments, on basement walls, or horizontally as a planar drain. Replaces conventional aggregate drainage, saves excavation volume, accelerates programme, eliminates haul of imported aggregate.
| Application | Configuration | Why use it |
|---|---|---|
| Behind retaining walls | Vertical drainage layer + perforated outlet at toe | Eliminates hydrostatic pressure on the wall, same function as aggregate drain at 1/10 the volume |
| Bridge abutments | Vertical drain wrapped to outlet pipe | JKR / FHWA recommendation; protects abutment from ponded water |
| Basements | Wall + floor planar drain leading to sump | Active waterproofing back-up; channels groundwater to controlled discharge |
| Slope drainage blanket | Horizontal layer below capping fill | Intercepts perched water in soft ground reclamation |
Full MSE-wall packages from one supplier.
StrataSlope
Reinforced soil slope (RSS) at 30°-70° face angle. StrataGrid reinforcement layered into compacted fill. Vegetatable face. Cheaper than vertical MSE wall when ROW allows. Used for highway widening, hillside platforms.
StrataWall
Vertical (90°) MSE wall faced with precast concrete panels. StrataGrid uniaxial PET reinforcement. For federal highway, rail embankment, bridge abutments. To FHWA-NHI-10-024 / BS 8006.
StrataBlock
Segmental (modular) retaining wall, concrete block facing with StrataGrid geogrid tail-back into reinforced fill. Architectural finish. Commercial and residential applications, height typically 1-12 m.
Sleeve-It
Specialised post anchoring system embedded at the top of MSE / segmental walls. Allows fence posts, signage, or pool fencing to be installed in the reinforced backfill without overstressing the geogrid.
