Woven Geotextile – Durable and Effective Solution for Soil Reinforcement and Separation

What Is Woven Geotextile？

A woven geotextile is a durable fabric made by weaving high-strength polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET) yarns into a grid-like pattern. This structure provides excellent tensile strength and dimensional stability, making it ideal for soil reinforcement, separation, and filtration in civil engineering projects.

Woven geotextiles are commonly used in road construction, retaining walls, embankments, and erosion control to improve soil stability and extend the lifespan of infrastructure.

Key Technical Specifications:

• Material: Polypropylene (PP) or Polyester (PET)

• Tensile Strength: 50–200 kN/m

• Elongation at Break: ≤ 20% (PP), ≤ 10% (PET)

• Mass per Unit Area: 200–600 g/m²

• Water Permeability: Moderate, primarily for separation

• UV Resistance: Excellent

Applications of Woven Geotextile

The Woven Geotextile is designed for a variety of engineering and construction applications, providing solutions for:

Soil Separation: Woven geotextiles are commonly used to separate different layers of soil or materials in road construction, railway embankments, and pavement bases, preventing soil mixing and ensuring long-term structural integrity.

Soil Reinforcement: Provides additional strength and stability to weak or loose soils, preventing settling and improving load distribution in projects like embankments, levees, and foundations.

Erosion Control: Helps reduce soil erosion in areas subject to heavy rain, wind, or water runoff by providing a stable surface that keeps soil in place.

Drainage Applications: Woven geotextiles allow water to pass through while filtering soil particles, making them ideal for drainage systems, landfills, and construction sites where proper water flow is essential.

Retaining Walls: Used in retaining wall systems, where the geotextile helps reinforce the soil, providing structural stability and preventing soil displacement.

Landfills and Waste Management: Woven geotextiles are used to support the liner systems in landfills and to provide separation between waste and natural soils.

 

The flexible characteristics make it fit the complex terrain, and it is not easy to break when the foundation is deformed, maintaining the continuity of protection. Resist chemical erosion, ultraviolet rays and microbial degradation, ensuring long-term engineering life.

 

The roll is light and easy to spread, and can be cut and overlapped on site, significantly reducing the difficulty of installation and construction period costs.
