7 oz. Nonwoven geotextiles are manufactured from high-quality polypropylene staple fibers that are needle-punched to form a dimensionally stable fiber network. Nonwovens are widely acknowledged as the preferred material for drainage, pavement interlayers, and separation/stabilization beneath paved and unpaved roadways.
- Doubles the service life of the road by separating the aggregate base from the soil
- Requires less aggregate during construction saving $50,000 per lane mile on average and reducing road thickness
- High interface friction to restrain and strengthen aggregate layers
- Provide superior hydraulics and soil retention to support filtration
- Offers the highest water flow rate and lateral transmissivity to reduce pore water pressure under traffic loading
- Engineered with optimal elongation to avoid puncture and tearing during installation
- Mitigates dust in unpaved roads
Uses:
- Paved and unpaved roads
- French drains and edge drains
- Landfills
- Hard armor underlayment
- Containment ponds
- Tunnel linings
- Railroad beds
