What Is Non Woven Geotextile Driveway Fabric Underlayment?
Non-woven geotextile driveway fabric underlayment refers to a specific type of geotextile material that is used as a layer beneath driveways to provide additional support, separation, and filtration. Unlike woven geotextiles, which are created by interlacing threads in a woven pattern, non-woven geotextiles are manufactured by bonding fibers together using mechanical, thermal, or chemical processes.
Issue
The client provides non woven driveway fabric underlayment fabric for road construction projects of Indonesian government. For road, highway, or railways construction project, it is necessary to effectively prevent the mixing of two kinds of soil materials with different particle sizes, so as to avoid mutual mixing or soil loss. And it can disperse the vehicle load to a larger area and reduce the pressure of the load on the soil foundation.
Solution
Non woven driveway fabric underlayment prevents soil mixing. It’s crucial for road and railway foundations on soft soil. We recommend 200G PET geotextile fabric. This fabric is part of the aggregate-geotextile-soil system. It disperses vehicle load over a larger area. This reduces pressure on the soil foundation. Under load, soft soil deforms. The fabric’s toughness and elongation help it deform and embed in the soil. This forms a continuous structure. It improves the stability of the structure. It enhances the bearing capacity of the soil foundation. This system ensures efficient load distribution. It minimizes soil deformation. It provides long-term stability for road and railway projects.
Benefits
Geotextile fabric is widely used in asphalt pavement. It’s also used in cement concrete pavement. Roadbed reinforcement benefits from it too. Geotextile fabric can be applied to hard pavement. It works well with flexible pavement too. This fabric reduces costs significantly. It extends the service life of pavements. Non woven driveway fabric underlayment has good aging resistance. It can widen the temperature range quickly. The quality of this fabric is very stable. These properties make it ideal for various applications.
In the context of driveway construction, non-woven geotextile underlayment fabric serves several purposes:
-
Support
It helps distribute the load from vehicles across a wider area, reducing the potential for rutting and soil deformation.
-
Separation
It acts as a barrier between the underlying soil and the gravel or other aggregate layers, preventing the mixing of materials. This separation prevents the migration of fine particles into the aggregate layers and helps maintain their stability.
-
Filtration
Geotextile fabric allows water to pass through. It restricts the movement of soil particles. This prevents clogging of aggregate layers. Proper drainage is maintained. The fabric ensures efficient water flow. It keeps soil particles in place. This promotes long-term stability of structures.
