Geotextile Non Woven is made by using some methods, including needle punching to bind short and long fibers. Threads are not involved during the process, yet its strength is improved by applying heat treatment. During the application of non-woven geotextile, it can be used alone or combined with other geosynthetic materials to give better functions to stabilize the soil and reduce the risk of damage. Here are some uses of non-woven geotextiles in various projects.

Filtration and Drainage

Non-woven geotextile is used as a filtration layer to separate tiny particles from water running off the soil or geotechnical materials. The filtered water will go to the drainage eventually. If it still has the small particles, they can be collected in the drainage and cause clogs. 

Since the water has been filtered from small particles, the risk of clog build-up in the drainage system can be minimized. As a result, water can smoothly flow in the drainage system and at the same time, water quality can be maintained.

Moisture Barrier

Non-woven geotextiles will not disturb the water flow although it can filter the water from small particles. However, you can also use this material to block water. For this purpose, you need to apply an asphaltic suspension to the material.

Once the asphaltic suspension has been applied, non-woven geotextiles become impermeable. It can be applied for various construction projects, including pavement rehabilitation.

Soil Stabilization

Geotextile Non Woven is used to stabilize the soil under the roads, airport runways, and railroads. The fabric will be applied between different soil layers to prevent uneven soil movement and compaction. At the same time, non-woven geotextile application is also great to improve the structural strength and stability.

Soil Layers Separation

This material is used a lot to separate different soil layers. Different soil layers have different characteristics and sometimes they need to be separated during construction projects. For instance, you can place non-woven geotextile materials between the base soil layer and the building foundation soil layer.

Why do you need to separate soil layers with non-woven geotextile material? It is necessary to prevent material mix and movement that can damage the construction during the building process or in the future.

Coverage Layer for Protection

Well, applying non-woven geotextile material can allow the water to run through it but at the same time, it will filter small particles. That is why this material is a great help to prevent contamination in the water.

More importantly, it will also be useful to prevent material movement since it is only water that will run through the material. As a result, non-woven geotextile applications can support structural stability. It means that the structure can last longer with the support of this material.

Protection from Erosion

This material is often used to protect soil surface from erosion due to water runoff or even wind exposure. That is why you might find this material a lot on the hillsides or river banks. Installing this material is necessary to reduce soil erosion and stabilize the slope.

Geotextile Non Woven can offer people with its mechanical stability, water permeability, and filtering ability.
