Nonwoven geotextiles are made from high-quality polypropylene staple fibers that are needle-punched to form a dimensionally stable fiber network. Nonwovens are widely recognized as the choice for drainage applications, pavement interlayers and separation/stabilization beneath paved and unpaved roads. Nonwovens are almost always a better choice for survivability and performance. Our nonwoven product line is compliant with AASHTO/NTPEP standards and is available in a variety of styles to fit your specific project needs and specifications.
Features & Benefits
- Requires less aggregate during construction saving $50,000 per lane mile on average and reducing road thickness
