Application

•

Filtration

when water passes from a fine-grained to a coarse grained layer, Non-woven Geotextiles can retain fine particles well. Such as when water flows from a sandy soil into a Geotextile wrapped gravel drain.

•

Separation

to separate two layers of soil with different physical properties, such as the separation of road gravel from soft sub-base materials.

•

Drainage

to drain liquid or gas from the plane of the fabric, which leads to draining or venting of the soil, such as the gas vent layer in a landfill cap.

•

Reinforcement

to improve the load bearing capacity of a specific soil structure, such as the reinforcement of a retaining wall.
