Geotextiles

The geotextile is a flat product made from propylene fabric or yarn or polyester yarn by weaving technique.

The geotextile has a woven structure that gives it high strength in one or both directions, as well as provides the appropriate parameters such as elongation, water permeability, CBR (static puncture resistance).

Geotextiles do not decompose in a soil-water environment, are non-toxic to the natural environment and harmless to drinking water, retain their properties at a temperature below 0°C, have increased resistance to UV radiation. Geotextiles also have effective filtration properties and the ability to retain soil particles.

Geotextiles are used for:

reinforcing the low-bearing substrate to ensure the required stability also in the construction of slopes and stabilisation of landslides
cover drainage systems to protect them against silting with fine-grained soil
making separation and filtration layers between the substrate and coarse material
reinforcing the upper layer of subsoil for road and railway surfaces or the lower layers of foundation
construction of parking yards and parking lots in difficult water conditions, temporary roads, storage yards, temporary forest, agricultural and military roads, housing roads, bicycle paths, sports fields and tennis courts, temporary military (farm and civil) airports, petrol stations, reinforcement of road shoulders.
