Fabrics

Geotechnical fabrics are typically defined as any permeable textile material used to increase soil stability, provide erosion control or aid in drainage. Usually made from a synthetic polymer such as polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene and polyamides that can be woven, knitted or non-woven. The variety in materials and manufacturing processes provide an assortment of geotextiles suitable for a wide variety of civil construction applications.

Nonwoven Geotechnical Fabrics

These needlepunched nonwoven geotextiles are manufactured using polypropylene fibers that are formed into a dimensionally stable network, allowing the fibers to maintain their relative position. They are resistent to ultraviolet deterioration, rotting, and biological degradation and are inert to commonly encountered soil chemicals.
