Geotextiles

Geotextiles

Geotextiles are permeable fabrics that are used in civil engineering, construction, and environmental projects. They serve various functions, such as separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, and protection.

Products

Types of Geotextiles:
Woven Geotextiles: Made by weaving fibers together, they are strong and typically used for soil stabilization and erosion control.
Non-Woven Geotextiles: Made from bonded fibers, these are often used for drainage, filtration, and protection due to their permeability.
Knitted Geotextiles: Produced by knitting fibers together, these are less common but can be used for specific applications requiring flexibility.

Applications:
Road Construction: Used to separate layers of soil, improving road longevity.
Erosion Control: Prevents soil erosion in areas like riverbanks and slopes.
Drainage Systems: Enhances water flow while filtering soil particles.
Reinforcement: Provides additional strength to structures like retaining walls.

Advantages:
1)Improves soil stability and structure.
2)Reduces maintenance costs.
3)Enhances the lifespan of construction projects.
Geotextiles are crucial in modern construction, contributing to sustainable and efficient engineering practices.
