Nonwoven geotextile filter fabric is often either the filament non woven geotextile or the short fiber needle punched geotextile fabric which offers optimum performance per unit weight which features high tensile strength and puncture resistance, good acid and alkali resistance, excellent drainage and anti-aging properties, etc. Nonwoven geotextile filter fabric is widely used in the civil construction, especially in roads and fills to improve soil characteristics. The recent popularity of non woven geotextile makes a poor soil more manageable and making possible to build in places where otherwise would be impossible. Nonwoven geotextile filter fabric is the ideal materials for infrastructure works such as roads, harbors and many other applications.

What Are Advantages of Nonwoven Geotextile Filter Fabric?

Nonwoven geotextile filter fabric offers several advantages in various applications. Here are some of the key advantages:

Filtration

Nonwoven geotextile filter fabric serves as an effective filtration layer, allowing water to pass through while preventing the migration of fine soil particles. It aids in retaining soil particles and avoiding the clogging of drainage systems.

Separation

These fabrics create a separation barrier between different soil layers or materials. They prevent the mixing of dissimilar soils, such as fine-grained and coarse-grained soils, ensuring the stability and integrity of structures.

Drainage Improvement

Nonwoven geotextile filter fabric exhibits good water permeability, enabling water to flow through while retaining soil particles. It functions as a drainage layer, reducing hydrostatic pressure and preventing waterlogging in soil and structures.

Soil Stabilization

These fabrics contribute to soil stabilization by providing a reinforcement layer. They enhance the structural integrity of the soil, particularly in areas prone to erosion or requiring slope support.

Protection

Nonwoven geotextile filter fabric offers protection to underlying materials and structures. It acts as a cushioning layer, distributing loads and reducing the risk of damage caused by mechanical or hydraulic forces.

Versatility

Nonwoven geotextile filter fabric is available in various specifications and can be customized for different applications. It can be utilized in diverse civil engineering, construction, and environmental projects.

Case Study of Nonwoven Geotextile Filter Fabric for Road Construction in Jiangsu

Our Jiangsu customer wanted to order BPM nonwoven geotextile filter fabric for road construction application. We recommended 300g/m2 nonwoven geotextile filter fabric. The main functions of the nonwoven geotextile filter fabric is the following three points:

1. Filtration. When the water from the fine soil flows into the coarse soil layer, the use of polyester staple fiber needled geotextile good permeability and permeability, so that the water flows through, and effectively carry soil particles, fine sand, small stones, etc. The nonwoven geotextile filter fabric can maintain the stability of water and soil.

2. Drainage. Polyester staple fiber acupuncture geotextile has good water conductivity performance, it can form a drainage channel inside the soil body, the excess liquid and gas in the soil structure outside the row.

3. Protection. When the water flows through the soil, it will effectively spread the stress, transfer or decompose, and prevent the soil from being damaged by the external force. Second, the foundation treatment, the main role is to strengthen. The use of nonwoven geotextile filter fabric  enhances the tensile strength and deformation resistance of the soil and enhances the stability of the building structure to improve the quality of the soil.

How To Install Nonwoven Geotextile Filter Fabric?

  1. Preparation:

    • Assess the site conditions and determine the appropriate type and weight of nonwoven geotextile filter fabric based on the specific project requirements.
    • Clear the area of any debris, vegetation, or sharp objects that could potentially damage the geotextile fabric.
    • Ensure that the subgrade or soil surface is properly graded and compacted before installation.
  2. Unrolling the Fabric:

    • Start by unrolling the geotextile fabric along the desired path or area where filtration and separation are required.
    • Ensure that the fabric is laid flat and free from folds or wrinkles.
    • Overlap adjacent rolls of geotextile fabric by the manufacturer’s recommended overlap distance to ensure continuous coverage.
  3. Anchoring the Fabric:

    • Secure the geotextile fabric in place using appropriate anchoring methods.
    • Depending on the project requirements, this may involve stakes, staples, or other anchoring devices.
    • Ensure that the fabric is taut and properly secured to prevent shifting or movement during subsequent construction activities.
  4. Joining the Fabric:

    • If multiple rolls of geotextile fabric are required, overlap the edges according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
    • Use a suitable joining method, such as sewing or heat bonding, to connect the overlapping sections of the geotextile fabric.
  5. Protection and Covering:

    • If necessary, protect the installed geotextile fabric from potential damage during subsequent construction activities.
    • This may involve placing a layer of fill material or other protective measures over the geotextile fabric to prevent direct exposure to heavy equipment or sharp objects.
  6. Quality Control and Inspection:

    • Conduct regular inspections to ensure the proper installation of the geotextile fabric.
    • Check for any damage, gaps, or areas where the fabric may have become exposed or compromised.
    • Address any issues promptly to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the geotextile filter fabric system.
