The 8 oz non woven geotextile fabric, also known as 8 oz geotextile fabric, 8 oz non woven geotextile, Non woven geotextile filter fabric, is a durable geotechnical material extensively employed as a separation barrier between rock and soil, while still permitting water flow. This nonwoven geotextile fabric is commonly used in various applications such as drainage systems, road construction, weed control, and filtration processes.
As the leading geotextile manufacturer and supplier, BPM Geosynthetics offers non woven geotextile fabric with thickness in 2 oz, 4 oz, 6 oz, and 8 oz. The non woven geotextile is the heavy duty and most common geotextile fabric used in various applications, particularly in civil engineering and construction projects.
1. What Is 8 oz Non Woven Geotextile ?
Non woven geotextile fabric is the kind of widely used geosynthetic material which is usually made from polypropylene and polyester fibers and processed by woven, needle punched or heat bonded methods.
8 oz geotextile fabric acts as a separation layer between rock and soil while allowing water to pass through. This heavy-duty fabric, also referred to as 8 oz geotextile fabric or 8 oz non woven geotextile filter fabric, provides several benefits.
Non woven geotextile fabric can prevent the mixing of different materials, ensuring the stability and integrity of structures. It also facilitates proper water drainage, preventing the accumulation of water and potential damage to the soil. The fabric is commonly used in drainage systems, road construction, weed control, and filtration applications.
Non woven geotextile fabric is known for its strength, tear resistance, and permeability. It is non-biodegradable, meaning it does not degrade over time, making it a long-lasting solution for various projects. Additionally, the fabric is needle-punched, providing added reinforcement and stability.
2. What Are Benifits of 8 oz Non Woven Geotextile ?
Non woven geotextile fabric provides multiple benefits in terms of strength, drainage, erosion prevention, puncture resistance, soil separation, reinforcement, and isolation. These qualities make it an ideal choice for various civil engineering and construction applications.
2.1 8 oz Non Woven Geotextile Fabric – Superior strength and dimensional stability
Non woven geotextile fabric offers high tensile strength and maintains its shape and structure under various loads and conditions. It provides multiple benefits in terms of strength, drainage, erosion prevention, puncture resistance, soil separation, reinforcement, and isolation. These qualities make it an ideal choice for various civil engineering and construction applications.
2.2 8 oz Non Woven Geotextile Fabric – Excellent drainage function
The fabric creates drainage channels within the soil, allowing water to flow through while preventing soil particles from passing through. This helps in effective water management and prevents soil erosion.
2.3 8 oz Non Woven Geotextile Fabric – Prevention of erosion
The non woven geotextile fabric stabilizes and limits the displacement of soil in long-term applications. It distributes stress across a larger area, increasing friction resistance between the soil and the fabric, thereby preventing erosion.
2.4 Increased puncture resistance of geomembrane pond liners
When used as a protective layer, the Non woven geotextile enhances the puncture resistance of geomembrane liners in ponds or containment systems.
2.5 Soil separation for added stability
By using Non woven geotextile fabric to separate different soil layers, a stable interface is created, allowing each layer to function independently and contribute to the overall stability of the structure.
2.6 Reinforcement effect
The Non woven geotextile helps stabilize and limit displacement in civil engineering projects. It transfers or distributes localized stress across a larger area, enhancing the overall strength and stability of the structure.
2.7 Isolation
Non woven geotextile fabric is effective in isolating different soil structures, creating stable interfaces between layers and allowing them to perform their specific functions as required.
3. Case Study of 8 Oz Non Woven geotextile New Zealand for Aquaculture
BPM New Zealand supported a customer’s embankment project for aquaculture, providing detailed geotextile laying procedures and reference videos. The geotextile fabric was placed along the gravel surface with overlapping lengths of at least 1 meter. Two forms of laying were executed, with the bottom edge connecting to the first layer at the design elevation. The project used 96,600 square meters of non-woven geotextile, each roll measuring 6 by 150 meters and weighing 250 gsm. This guidance ensured correct installation and enhanced embankment stability for aquaculture operations.
