Geotextile driveway stabilization fabric is a synthetic high-strength fiber material used to improve the bearing capacity of the roadbeds when the bearing capacity of the foundation is poor. Geotextile is a new type of building material, which has various functions such as anti-seepage, filtration, drainage, isolation, reinforcement, and protection, etc.The driveway stabilization fabric has a wide variety of different uses. The purpose is to improve the bearing capacity and prevent cracks on the road surface. Compared with the anti-seepage coefficient of conventional stone masonry and concrete materials, it has low investment and construction. The process is simple, the construction period is short, the seepage prevention effect is good, and the channel effective utilization coefficient is high.
What are the characteristics of Driveway Stabilization Fabric?
Driveway stabilization fabric is a permeable geotextile fabric used in the construction and maintenance of driveways, roads, and parking lots. It has several characteristics that make it suitable for these applications:
- High Strength and Durability: The fabric is made from strong materials like polypropylene or polyester, which can withstand the weight of vehicles and resist degradation from UV rays and chemicals.
- Permeability: It allows water to flow through, preventing water buildup and reducing the risk of erosion or pavement damage caused by water pressure.
- Separation Layer: The fabric acts as a separation layer between different types of soil or between the soil and the gravel or asphalt layers, preventing mixing that could lead to reduced stability.
- Filtration: It filters fine particles in the soil, keeping them in place while allowing excess water to pass through, which helps maintain the structure of the roadbase.
- Reinforcement: The fabric reinforces the ground, especially in areas where the soil is soft or prone to movement, providing a more stable base for the driveway or road surface.
Case Study Of Driveway Stabilization Fabric for Road
BPM Malaysia client got a road construction project and wanted to purchase needle punched geotextile for roadbed reinforcement. We suggested our client using 250gsm PET needle punched geotextile fabric for driveway reinforcement. PET needle punched geotextile includes PET short fible geotextile and PET filament geotextile. And we quoted our client for both material based on one 40HQ container separately. By considering price, load ability and project requirement, BPM client chose PET filament geotextile driveway stabilization fabric finally. During this time, we sent samples and test report from the third party to our client by Express. After confirming our samples, our client placed the order 40000 square meters for the first batch immediately due to the urgent order. Thanks for our clients’ trust and support.
So how can the unearthed driveway stabilization fabric be used to reinforce the road construction?
- When laying, try to lay as flat as possible without wrinkles, and leave excess parts at the edge of the laying;
- When stitching or welding the geotextile fabric, the width should be kept above 10 cm, and if it is overlapped, the width should be kept above 20cm;
- The role of geotextile driveway stabilization fabricreinforcement, the step of stitching is very important, whether it is thread selection or technical problems, it must follow relative procedures and follow relative standards;
- During road construction, the geotextilefabricis generally laid in two layers, that is, one layer is laid on the top and bottom of the geomembrane. The geotextile of the lower layer of the geomembrane is generally overlapped, and the geotextile above is generally used. Is stitching or hot air welding;
- The thickness of the geotextile must be uniform, so that when the asphalt is poured, the geotextile can evenly absorb the asphalt and form a uniform isolation layer;
- In order to enhance the aging resistance of the geotextile and prolong the service life of the geotextile, the geotextile should be laid as deep as possible.
