Woven Geotextiles Description  

A woven geotextiles is an economical solution for any civil engineering applications. It separates, stabilizes, and reinforces soils and allos allows for filtration. Woven geotextiles are manufactured by extruding polypropylene film and then slitting the film into individual yarns which are then woven to form the geotextiles.

Woven Geotextiles Functions

Ground stabilization

Drainage  

Erosion control and re-vegetation

Revetment

Ground reinforcement

Asphalt underlayment

Road reinforcement   

Woven Geotextiles  Applications

Woven has specific properties for separation, stabilisation, reinforcement and filtration. High strength reinforcement(wide width tensile greater than 50KN) and filtration geotextiles are manufactured with specific properti es.

Woven geotextiles perform several important functions. where separation is required on firm soils a woven geotextile provides a strong and economical solution. The grades of geotextiles used for this are typically 100 to 250gsm. For applications where a weak subgrade needs to be reinforced a high strength woven geotextile is used. There are classed  by strength and are typically from 35KN to 1000KN     

Unpaved Roadways

Woven geotextiles provide a stable base for unpaved roads. The fabric prevents subsoil mixing with aggregate which, without geotextile, will quickly require repair. Not only will the soil migrate to the suface but also deep ruts will occur causing greater repair costs. Woven geotextiles also provide stablisation over soft ground. Where access roads become boggy due to trucks and poor weather. a woven geotextiles can provide the needed foundation by spreading the load across a wide area

Paved Roadways

Woven geotextiles greatly strengthens paved roads. Roads were traditionally made by using extra aggregate which was designed to be absorbed by the soil. Over time the soil becomes weaker and potholes form. Wovens will provide a permanent separation barrer. Even with the constant flow of the heavy truck traffice. A road with woven geotextile will retain separation of aggregate and subgrate.  

Erosion Control Woven Geotextiles Description:

Woven geotextiles for erosion control are ideal for applications where separation and stabilization are key. The woven design offers high tensile strength with low elongation and form a strong fabric that can withstand the stresses associated with installation. The woven geotextile is made from polypropylene slit film, which is resistant to biological degradation and chemicals present in soils. It also contains additives to provide maximum UV resistance.

Commonly used for applications surrounding road construction. a geotextile for erosion control outperforms conventional methods like thicker aggregate layers. Chemical stabilization, and undercutting and removal.
