Geotextile woven fabric is a material that is permeable and it is used on a land surface. Geotextile material has the ability to strengthen, protect, filter, and separate.
Most products on the market today are made of polypropylene or polyester. Woven geotextile is one type. In addition, there is also a non-woven one or punch needle that has a flannel-like appearance.
Geotextile is a durable material and is able to reduce the possibility of landslides or soil damage. If classified, they are included in the geosynthetic group that is able to provide benefits in geotechnical and environmental engineering structures.
What is the Geotextile Woven Fabric
Woven geotextile is a material made through traditional weaving methods. Each thread is woven into a large, uniform sheet. The yarn used as raw material for this fabric is made of various types of materials.
There are ranging from fibrillation yarn to monofilament. Besides that, there is also a type made from slit films. The uniform weaving result offers much higher tensile strength.
This makes Geotextile woven fabric ideal for projects with heavy loads such as road construction. However, this item produces a less porous surface and tends to be waterproof.
Even so, the non-porous nature of this fabric actually makes it ideal for erosion control projects. In some types of erosion control projects, water must be directed or passed above ground level.
The aim is to prevent it from flowing into the underlying soil layer. Another ideal characteristic of this item is its high resistance to corrosion risk and long durability as well.
The Application of Woven Geotextile
Geotextile woven fabric is a material that has high tensile strength. Therefore, this fabric is recommended for road construction projects, mall parking lots, airport runways, and parking lots.
In addition, the geotextile woven is also able to resist UV degradation, making it suitable for long-term application. The use of woven geotextile is very wide and here are some of those applications.
1. Permanent Erosion Control
With high load-bearing strength, woven geotextile is suitable for permanent erosion control projects. Adding this fabric will make the soil layer stronger and not easily eroded by eroding factors such as water or wind.
In addition, it also has a reinforcement function. This makes it suitable for projects that emphasize stabilization. One of them is the manufacture of highways, tracks in railways, to airport runways.
2. Steep Slope Retaining
Another example that shows the reinforcement function of Geotextile woven fabric is steep slope retaining. The application of this weaving on the slope will make the soil layer more stable.
That is why; the risk of landslides can be minimized. The reinforcement function is also applied to these projects to make embankment retaining walls and lagoon closures.
Separation Function
The surface of woven geotextile with tight small pores gives this material a separation function. These woven goods can be used in construction projects that require separation needs.
An example is road construction which has become a common thing. By the separation function of this Geotextile woven fabric, the fine layer of basic soil will not be mixed with aggregate from the bottom foundation layer.
