Case Study
- Location – America
- Product – 100g PP Filament Geotech Filter Cloth
- Application – River Drainage Project
Issue
It should be noted that river management projects have gradually become a common type of environmental project in social development, and many environmental protection workers need to engage in engineering construction. In river management work, long filament geotech filter cloth need to be used for laying. Long filament geotextiles are porous and permeable media, which can collect water and discharge it from the soil when buried in the soil. They can not only drain water vertically and horizontally, but also in the plane direction, which means they have the function of horizontal drainage. Long filament geotextile has been widely used for drainage and consolidation of earth dams, embankments, retaining walls, and soft soil foundations. Therefore, filament geotextile has certain effectiveness in river management schemes, slope protection, bottom protection and other engineering projects. A US client has a river engineering project that requires geotextile as a lining to filter and drain water, and the client has strict quality requirements for geotextile.
Solution
The customer searched our company on the website and made a brief inquiry about geotech filter cloth products, informing us that they need geotextile made of polypropylene material. Our company has recommended polypropylene filament geotextile and polypropylene short fiber geotech filter cloth according to the customer’s requirements. In addition to differences in fiber length, the prices and quality of the two types of geotextiles are also different. Polypropylene staple fibers have a relatively high cost-effectiveness, but their quality cannot match that of polypropylene filament. Polypropylene filament has higher indicators than short fiber geotech filter cloth in all aspects, and has stronger acid and alkaline resistance. Due to the strict quality requirements of the customer, they requested us to provide samples for confirmation. We sent these two types of geotextiles to the customer for selection and confirmation. After comparing the samples, the customer was more satisfied with the polypropylene filament geotextile. Subsequently, we were sent the size and color requirements.
Benefits
1、 Drainage effect: Long filament geotech filter cloth is a porous and permeable medium that can collect water and discharge it from the soil when buried in the soil. They can not only drain along their vertical and horizontal angles, but also along their horizontal angles, which means they have the function of horizontal drainage. Long filament geotextile has been widely used for drainage and consolidation of earth dams, embankments, retaining walls, and soft soil foundations.
2、 Filtering effect: In order to avoid the phenomenon of seepage and turbidity (piping) of fine particles in the soil, graded granular materials are traditionally used as filtering layers, while both woven and non-woven geotech filter cloth can replace traditional granular materials as filtering layers to achieve filtering effect. Under the premise that the filter layer requirements are not too strong, non-woven fabrics are generally used as the filter layer.
3、 Isolation effect: In geotechnical engineering, different granular layers often mix with each other, causing each layer to lose its inherent characteristics. Laying long filament geotextile between different granular layers can provide isolation. If the crushed stone granular base layer organization is laid on a soft foundation and geotextile is laid between layers, it can reasonably and effectively avoid mutual penetration of soil materials between layers and regulate foundation settlement. The isolation effect of long filament geotextile has a good effect in the treatment of soft soil roadbeds on highways and railways.
4、 Reinforcement effect: Long filament geotech filter cloth has strong tensile strength and a high rate of deformation due to damage. It can be buried in soil as a reinforcement raw material in an appropriate way to regulate soil deformation and improve soil stability.
5、 Anti seepage effect: Apply a layer of waterproof material such as resin or rubber to the surface of the long filament geotextile, or composite the long filament geotextile with plastic film to form an impermeable waterproof material called geotextile. Geomembranes are commonly composed of thin non-woven geotech filter cloth and thin films, and can be made into one cloth one film, two cloth one film, or three cloth one film according to the needs of engineering projects. The thickness of the filament geotextile and film used can also be determined according to needs, or thicker non-woven fabrics can be used to composite with the film. Among them, thin film plays a waterproof and anti-seepage role, while filament geotextile plays a water guiding role, killing two birds with one stone.
Summary
Filament geotech filter cloth can replace traditional engineering materials and construction methods, make construction safer, contribute to environmental protection, and solve basic problems in engineering construction more economically, effectively and permanently The filament geotextile has good mechanical function, good water permeability, anti-corrosion and anti-aging, has the functions of isolation, reverse filtration, drainage, protection, stabilization and reinforcement, can adapt to uneven base, can resist external force damage of construction, has small creep, and can still maintain its original function under long-term load Creep resistance – geotextile has better creep resistance than other geotextiles, so it has good long-term performance It can resist the erosion of common chemicals in the soil and the corrosion of gasoline and diesel oil Technical characteristics of filament geotextile: the geotextile is thick, which can ensure the three-dimensional void ratio of the geotextile and is conducive to the realization of excellent hydraulic performance Geotextile has great advantages in bursting strength, especially suitable for retaining wall and embankment reinforcement.
