Geotextiles, also known as filter cloth or geofabric, are soil separation and filtration products used mainly in civil construction and environmental applications. In civil construction, geotextiles work to prevent intermixing of sub-base soils with granular layers and help filter surface water to prevent stones and soil particles from passing and migrating into the sub-base. In environmental applications they are used as a protective cushion under or above geomembrane liners to prevent the risk of puncturing from coarse aggregate rock.
Two types of geotextiles, woven and nonwoven, are the common solution for soil separation and filtration needs. Projects where these are typically used, include:
Landfill lining systems
Wastewater treatment lagoon lining systems
Retention and decorative pond lining systems
Erosion control projects
Drainage projects
Road construction and rehabilitation work
Site development works
Commercial landscaping work
