Geotech landscape fabric, also known as geotextile fabric, is a kind of non-woven and industrial fabrics. The staple fiber needle-punched geotextile uses polyester crimped staple fiber with a denier of 6-12 denier and a length of 54-64mm as raw materials. Through the process of opening, carding, messy (short fibers intertwined), laying (standardized entanglement and fixation), needle punching and other production processes of non-woven production equipment, it is made into geotech landscape fabric.
Non Woven Geotextile Features
Nonwoven geotextile allows water to pass through while intercepting sand and soil loss. Geotextile fabric has good water conductivity, creating drainage channels in soil. It enhances soil stability and quality. Geotextile diffuses stress to prevent soil damage. Nonwoven landscape fabric prevents mixing of layers. Its network structure resists clogging. High water permeability is maintained under pressure. Made from polypropylene or polyester, it’s durable against chemicals and pests. Available in widths up to 6 meters, with a unit area mass of 100-600g/㎡.
Application
Short fiber geotech landscape fabric, is usually not used alone, and often applied in the dyke slope, lining bottom that are covered under the block of stone or concrete precast slab. Thereby, a stable protective body is formed. In the vertical seepage control project, short fiber geotextile is also ultimate buried in soil in sunless, and has multiple functions, such as, filtration, drainage, isolation, seepage control and protection. Short fiber geotextile is usually used together with geomembrane, as geotechnical cloth in the construction of railway, highway, sports hall, dam, water construction and tunnel, etc.
The basic requirements of non woven geotextile laying
- The joints must be intersected with the slope line; where they are balanced with the toe of the slope or where stress may exist, the interval between the joints must be greater than 1.5m.
- On the slope surface, anchor one end of the geotextile, and then put down the coiled material on the slope surface to ensure the tightness of the geotextile connection.
- All geotextile fabric must be pressed with sand bags. The sand bags will be used during the laying period and kept until the layer of material on top of the laying.
Precautions for Geotextile Installation
Geotextile fabric must be cut with a geotextile knife to prevent damage. Special measures are needed when cutting in the garden to protect other materials. When laying, prevent crushing the underlying material and avoid stones or moisture that may damage the geotextile. Inspect all geotextiles after installation for any signs of damage and repair them. Ensure no foreign objects that can harm the paved surface are present.
CASE STUDY
Thailand faces soil erosion due to its hot, rainy climate. The government focuses on soil and water conservation in vulnerable areas. Our Thai client tackled this project and found our 10-year experience in staple fiber needle-punched geotech landscape fabric production noteworthy. They requested a quote for 10 sq meters of fabric. We suggested 400g PP staple fiber material, provided a competitive quote, and shared technical details. As manufacturers, we offered attractive pricing. The customer asked for 1*1m samples for testing, which we promptly supplied. They were impressed with the quality and test results, leading to a satisfied order placement. We quickly fulfilled the order within 10 days due to their tight engineering schedule. Our professionalism, swift response, and top-notch service ensured customer satisfaction. They keep returning with more projects. Our affordable, high-quality solutions have boosted our local reputation, resulting in a mutually beneficial partnership.
