GEOTEXTILE
Produced by needling and applying heat to endless fibers made from polypropylene and polyester raw materials.
Intended Uses
* Filtration
- In place of granular soil/stone filters
- Beneath waste containment areas to collect leakage water
* Separation
- Between roads and airport runways, between soil foundation and soil ballast
- In waste containment areas between layers
- Between geomembranes and soil drainage layer
- In cases of weak filtration, between drainage layers
* Drainage
- To spread water encountered on soil surfaces
- Beneath additional fill to provide drainage
* Reinforcement
- In soil improvement to prevent geomembrane punctures
- In asphalt roads and airfields on soft soils
- In construction of geotextile-reinforced retaining walls
Advantages
-Prevents material layers from sticking together or dispersing by separating them.
-While retaining the soil in place, it drains water in areas with puddles.
-Acts as an effective filter, thereby filtering certain substances to prevent blockage of drains.
-Reinforces soil structures like drainage and embankments.
-Holds layers in place, consequently protecting areas such as roads and beaches from erosion.
-Provides maximum resistance against decay due to its structure.
-Resistant to decay, bacteria, acids, alkalis, and moisture. Unaffected by seawater, mold, and rust.
