Staple fiber geotextile fabric, also known as needle punched geotextile fabric, is the geosynthetic textile material widely used to increase soil stability, provide erosion control or aid in drainage. BPM brand staple fiber geotextile fabric is made from a synthetic polymer such as polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene or polyamides fiber and processed by woven, needle punched or heat bonded methods. The staple fiber geotextile fabric is the ideal material for civil engineering applications such as roads, harbors, reservoirs, canals, dams and many others retaining construction to improve soil stability, provide erosion control or aid in drainage.
Our Partner
Our Malaysia partner is CHINA COMMUNICATIONS CONSTRUCTION (CCCC) SDN. BHD, constructor for the East Railway Construction project. They inquire about stable fiber geotextile with specifications: 400gsm, thickness up to 3mm, break strength of 12.5 kN/m, CRB burst strength of 2.1 kN, and tear strength of 0.33 kN/m. The total requirement is 5,825,573 square meters, divided into 8 sections for planned quantities. For the first section, they inquire about 848,970 square meters. At the beginning, the CCCC company visited BPM geomembrane company and its 16,000 square meter factory, impressed by the advanced production line of geomembranes and geotextiles.
East Railway Construction: Driving Economic Growth and Sustainability
The East Railway Construction Project is Malaysia’s largest infrastructure project. It aims at economic development along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.Stretching 665 kilometers, it will carry freight and passenger rail to improve connectivity.It reduces travel time between Kota Bharu and Klang Valley from seven hours to four by rail.Long-term benefits include boosting tourism and industrial growth along the railway corridors.ERE Consulting Group, part of Aurecon, was appointed for environmental and social impact assessment.Their role optimized the railway alignment to conserve wildlife habitats and landscapes.They also aimed to minimize disruption to local communities.Peninsular Malaysia has many mountains dividing it into three regions: eastern, central, and western belts.
Challenges and Solutions in East Railway Construction Project
The macro-topography of the project area is slightly oriented to the southeast. There are mountains in the north-south direction distributed in this area. The landform of the area is low hills with a large drop. Many “V-shaped and U-shaped valleys” are along the line. The construction site is narrow. Surface vegetation grows here, including large rubber plantations. There are also palm plantations and tropical forests. The unfavorable geology includes soft soil, faults, folds, joints, synclines, fissures, anticlines, karst, and rock bursts. Granite shows multi-spherical weathering. Limestone joints and fissures also show multi-spherical weathering. These limestone features often form dangerous rocks prone to collapse and rockfall. Surface water exists mainly in river valleys and lakes. There are many rivers along the line. Affected by the monsoon, heavy rain raises river levels sharply.
BPM Staple Fiber Geotextile Features
1·Filter Function.
Reverse filtration keeps soil under osmotic pressure from losing while allowing liquid to pass through. Polyester staple spunbonded needle-punched geotextiles can replace traditional gravel filter layers. Staple fiber geotextile reduces engineering quantity, offers convenient construction, and high speed. The isolation layer between artificial fill, rockfill or material field and the foundation is essential. It also isolates different frozen soil layers, providing both filtering and reinforcement effects.
2. Drainage function.
Drainage refers to the use of the permeability of materials to allow water to be discharged from soil or geotechnical structures through its permeable channels. Polyester short filament spunbonded needle-punched geotextiles can replace traditional drainage bodies such as gravel or concrete pipes. It is easy to construct, low in price and reliable in quality.
3. Isolation function.
Isolation is to prevent the mixing of adjacent different media. The use of staple fiber geotextile for isolation between different media can maintain the integrity and stability of each media and structure.
4 Reinforcing function.
Reinforcement involves placing materials with tensile strength in the soil. This improves the performance of the soil. Polyester short filament spunbonded needle-punched geotextile is used as reinforcement material. It enhances soil strength and stability. Convenient construction and better effects are achieved.
5 Anti-seepage function.
Anti-seepage is to prevent liquid seepage and loss. The synthetic material of staple fiber geotextile and geomembrane is used as the anti-seepage layer, which is economical, durable and pollution-free.
