Non Woven Geoxtile GT160

Civil Nonwoven Geotextile for Drainage and Filtration

How do Nonwoven Geotextiles Work?

Nonwoven Geotextile Filter Fabric has two basic functions: filtration and drainage. As water passes from a layer of fine-grained soil to a coarse-grained soil, the fabric acts as a filter, retaining fine particles. It provides permanent mechanical and hydraulic filter stability and also facilitates drainage and gas venting.

When Do I Use a Nonwoven Geotextile?

One the greatest strengths of this fabric is its ability to assist in the growth of vegetation. This is ideal when controlling soil erosion. The geotextile filter fabric creates a strong, solid base over eroded soil, allowing plants to colonize and restore the soil. The drainage function prevents the washing away of seeds and possible water erosion.
