PP Non Woven Geotextile for Road Construction Projects in Ethiopia

PP non woven geotextile fabric is made from 100% virgin  polypropylene or polyester fibers that are tangled and interlocked with each other by needle-punching process. The PP non woven geotextile is the most cost effective and extensively used geotextile fabric to ensure improved performance and design life of soil or granular layers in a range of civil, coastal and environmental engineering projects.

Case Study

• Location: Ethiopia
• Product: 300gsm PP Non-woven Geotextile
• Application: Road Construction

Issue

We all know that the actual operating environment of highways is very complex, especially in the rainy season. If there is no good anti-leakage, it will cause a lot of water to enter the soil layer, causing the highway to swell due to too much water absorbed. This not only It will affect the service life of the highway and cause various traffic accidents. Therefore, in the process of highway construction, the leakage problem must be fully considered. The fundamental reason why geomembrane is widely used in highway construction is that it has a great advantage, that is, anti-leakage. In this way, the quality of the highway can be improved.

Geotextiles are widely used in road construction. It strengthens the soil by increasing its tensile strength. It is used as a rapid dewatering layer in roadbeds, and the geotextile needs to maintain its permeability without losing its separation function. All in all, the use of geotextiles is to prevent soil erosion and prevent the road genes from collapsing due to the erosion of rainwater.

Solution

The customer searched our company from the website and saw that our company had done many projects on the website. He asked us whether we had done the road project. Based on our years of experience, we recommend to our customers the solution of 300gsm polypropylene non-woven fabric with HDPE geomembrane. We provide detailed quotations of two materials for customers’ reference, and provide samples. Customers finally chose our company’s products after multiple comparisons.

Specifications of PP Non Woven Geotextile for Road Construction Projects

• Unit Weight – 300gsm
• Total Quantity – 58,000 Square meters
• Each Roll Size – 5.8m*100m

Benefits

• Good air permeability and water permeability, allowing water to flow through, thereby effectively intercepting sand loss.
• With good water conductivity, it can form a drainage channel inside the soil mass to discharge excess liquid and gas in the soil mass structure.
• Use geotextiles to enhance the tensile strength and anti-deformation ability of the soil, enhance the stability of the building structure, and improve the quality of the soil.
• Effectively spread, transfer or decompose concentrated stress to prevent soil from being damaged by external force.
• Prevent the mixing between the upper and lower layers of sand, soil and concrete.
• Corrosion resistance – using polypropylene chemical fiber as raw material, acid and alkali resistance, no corrosion, no moth-eaten, anti-oxidation.
• Simple construction – light weight and easy to use.

Construction Notes

1. Geotextile can only be cut with a geotextile knife (hook knife). If it is cut in the field, special protection measures must be taken for other materials to prevent unnecessary damage to the geotextile due to cutting;
2. While laying geotextiles, take all necessary measures to prevent damage to the material below;
3. When laying the geotextile, be careful not to let stones, a lot of dust or moisture, etc., that may damage the geotextile, may block the drain or filter, or may cause difficulties in the subsequent connection. under the geotextile;
4. After the installation is completed, visually inspect the surface of all geotextiles to determine all damaged landlords, mark and repair them, and make sure that there are no foreign substances that can cause damage on the paved surface, such as broken needles and other foreign objects.
