Separation
The separation system prevents mixing. For this purpose, geotextile is used to stop the undesirable blending of backfill with soil or between two different types of backfill materials.
Filtration
The use of geotextile in filtration applications is one of the most common functions in this field. The geotextile acts as a permeable layer, allowing water to flow freely.
Reinforcement
By providing reinforcement, geotextiles and technical products help stabilize the aggregate sub-base and improve its tensile strength and resistance to deformation under repeated loads.
Drainage
When functioning as a drain, a geotextile acts as a conduit for the movement of liquids or gases. Relatively thick non-woven geotextiles are the most commonly used products due to their higher water flow capacity.
Soil Retention and Erosion Control
Geotextiles and technical products help prevent soil movement. They act as a protective system against water and air, which are the main causes of soil displacement and erosion. Under these conditions, geotextiles and technical products retain material without allowing excessive pore water pressure to build up. In erosion control, they protect surfaces from the shearing forces of moving water, wind, and rain-induced erosion.
Sealing
Geotextiles create a permeable, protective physical barrier between the natural ground and the materials chosen for waterproofing.
Pollution remediation
Geotextiles help filter and remediate runoff and infiltration water, protecting groundwater and safeguarding the environment from hydrocarbon and heavy metal pollution.
