Geotextile fabric for erosion control is a permeable geosynthetic material typically made from synthetic fibers polypropylene or polyester, geotextile fabrics come in three basic forms: woven, needle punched, or heat bonded process. The finished product is cloth-like, with a width of 4-6 meters and a length of 50-100 meters. The geotextile fabric for erosion control can help to mitigate the negative impact of soil erosion. Water erosion can be absolutely devastating to property. Sometimes the erosion happens very quickly and catastrophically due to a major storm event such as a hurricane or tropical storm. The geotextile should be loosely laid, free of tension, folds, and wrinkles. When used for dam protection, where currents acting parallel to the bank are the principal erosion forces, the geotextile fabric should be placed with the longer dimension (machine direction) in the direction of anticipated water flow.
It has the following features:
- Erosion control;
- Filter material for soil separation;
- Drainage materials for ore dressing in reservoirs and mines, and for foundations of high-rise buildings;
- Anti-scouring materials for river dams and slope protection;
- Reinforcement materials for road foundations of railways, highways and airports, and reinforcement materials for road construction in swamp areas;
- Anti-frost and anti-freeze insulation materials;
- Anti-cracking material for asphalt pavement;
- Geotextile fabric has good water conductivity, it can form a drainage channel inside the soil, and drain the excess liquid and gas from the soil structure.
- Effectively diffuse, transfer or decompose concentrated stress, and prevent soil from being damaged by external forces;
- Prevent mixing between the upper and lower layers of sand, gravel, soil and concrete;
- High water permeability. Under the pressure of soil and water, it can still maintain good water permeability.
What Are Applications Of Geotextile Fabric?
Geotextile fabric finds diverse applications in civil engineering, construction, environmental projects, and landscaping due to its versatile properties. Some common applications include:
- Road Construction: Geotextiles are used for reinforcing roads, railways, and embankments, preventing soil erosion and enhancing stability.
- Erosion Control: Geotextile fabric is employed in controlling erosion on slopes, shorelines, riverbanks, and other areas prone to erosion.
- Landfill Engineering: Geotextiles are used in landfill liners, caps, and leachate collection systems to contain waste and prevent contamination of soil and groundwater.
- Retaining Walls: Geotextiles provide reinforcement and drainage in retaining walls, improving stability and reducing the risk of failure.
- Separation and Filtration: Geotextiles act as a separation layer between different materials (e.g., soil and gravel) and as a filtration medium in drainage systems.
- Railway Track Beds: Geotextiles are used to stabilize and reinforce railway track beds, reducing maintenance requirements and extending the lifespan of the tracks.
Case Study Of Geotextile Erosion for Control
BPM customer is a distributor in Australia and has high requirements for geotextile products. This time he needed geotextile for a dam project. We have exported geosynthetics including geotextile to Australia for more than 7 years and have rich experience. First of all, we provide customers with geotextile samples of various specifications for customers to test. Then we provided customers with a variety of packaging methods, and the final customer chooses pvc pipe, PE film packaging. The customer was very satisfied with the test results. In the end, the customer reached a long-term cooperative relationship with us.
