Stabilization Fabrics

When building drive ways, parking lots, roads, runways, or any other traffic-bearing surface, the ultimate performance depends on the strength and stability of the foundation.  Using the right geotextile will provide the rugged separation layer needed between the aggregate and the sub-grade.  This means increased service life for asphalt or concrete surfaces, and resistance to rutting on unpaved roads.  Geotextiles provide improved roadway performance. 

In addition to maintenance savings, geotextiles save cost by reducing aggregate depth and preserving the aggregate.  Also providing separation, wet periods or saturated soil conditions will not necessarily increase construction time and labor.

Choose the right Stabilization/Separation fabric for the Job depending on sub-grade strength, traffic conditions, aggregate type and thickness.

FILTER FABRICS 

Geotextile provide a protective layer to help prevent native soil intrusion and clogging of subsurface drains.  In storm water and septic systems, geotextiles act as a permeable separator allowing liquids to percolate into the ground through the drainage field while restricting fine particles from passage.

Geotextile filter fabrics are easily installed and act as an cost effective alternative to graded aggregate or sand filters. 

Applications using filter fabrics include pavement edge drains, storm water systems, French drains, and foundation drainage.

Suggested Geotextiles for Filter Fabric applications:

GFNW3, GFNW3.5, GFNW4, GFNW4.5 

High Strength Fabric

To meet the demanding range of site requirements for  reinforcement projects, high strength geotextiles of polypropylene composition are designed to provide versatility and durability.

High strength geotextiles are available for reinforced work platforms and similar applications.  Tensile strength and tensile modulus vary to meet specific requirements.

High-tenacity woven geotextiles are available for long term reinforcement in critical performance structures.  High tensile strength and modulus contribute to soil structure reinforcement.  Additionally, low stain under load minimizes the potential for creep deformation.

Suggested fabrics:  GF12, GF570, GF700

Monofillaments

When doing erosion control, embankment protection, and other applications that demand a higher water flow, monofilament geotextiles are a great choice.  These geotextiles features permittivity for drainage, durability, conformability, and a great resistance to rot and chemicals!

Suggested fabrics: GFM404, GFM400, GFM700
