Short fiber non woven geofabric for roads construction is made of polypropylene in random directions and punched together by needles. The needle punched non woven geotextile has good impermeability and resistance to deformation, which allows geofabric for roads construction to be widely applied in civil projects for separation, filtration, reinforcement, protection and drainage. Thermally bonded technology can iron the surface of geotextile fabric and it will make the surface smooth and thinner. While the PP non woven geofabric for roads construction can be used in almost any stabilization, separation or cushioning application, they are most commonly used in areas that also require filtration. The non woven design of the short fiber geotextile fabric provides a higher rate of flow through,making it easier for water to pass through the material.
What are the characteristics of geotextile？
The short fiber non woven geofabric for roads construction has the following typical features.
1.Engineered to provide high strength and high elongation at break to ensure excellent resistance to damage during construction
2.Manufactured from high tenacity UV stabilized virgin polypropylene or polyester fibers which have been heavily drawn to ensure excellent long term durability in all soil types.
3.Manufactured using a randomly orientated web to provide completely isotropic properties, ensuring that high strength is not limited to a single direction.
What Are Applications Of Short Fiber Geotextiles?
Short fiber geotextiles, also known as nonwoven geotextiles, have a wide range of applications in civil engineering, environmental, and geotechnical projects. Some common applications of short fiber geotextiles include:
-
Separation:
Short fiber geotextiles are used to separate different soil layers or aggregate materials. This prevents mixing and maintains the integrity of the layers. It is commonly seen in road construction. Geotextiles are placed between the subgrade and aggregate base. They prevent migration of fines into the base.
-
Filtration:
Geotextiles act as filters by allowing water to pass through. They retain soil particles while facilitating drainage. Used in applications like behind retaining walls. Also under roadways to prevent soil erosion. This ensures effective water flow and stability.
-
Erosion Control:
Short fiber geotextiles are employed in erosion control applications to stabilize soil and prevent erosion in areas prone to water flow or wave action. They can be used in slope stabilization, shoreline protection, riverbank stabilization, and other erosion-prone areas.
-
Reinforcement:
Geotextiles can provide reinforcement to weak or unstable soils. They distribute loads and increase tensile strength. Used in embankment stabilization. Soil reinforcement in retaining walls. Reinforcement of soft ground beneath roadways.
-
Cushioning and Protection:
Geotextiles can act as a cushioning layer. Protect geomembranes or sensitive materials. Prevent damage during installation or use. They provide a protective barrier. Between the material and underlying soil. Or aggregate, ensuring safety and durability.
Case Study Of Short Fiber Geofabric for Roads Construction
BPM’s customer expressed interest in acquiring thermally bonded polypropylene (PP) geofabric for road construction projects in Canada. To ensure the product met their specifications, the customer provided a sample of short fiber geotextile fabric for testing and verification. After conducting thorough tests, we determined that the geotextile weighed 136 grams and featured thermal bonding on one side. Additionally, we observed that the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) content was higher than what is typically found in standard PP geotextiles. Leading us to confirm its classification as high-quality PP short fiber geofabric suitable for road construction applications. We promptly shared the testing report with the client and assured them of our capability to supply the required geotextile fabric. In response to the client’s specific requirements, we agreed to provide the geotextile in black color.
