Non-Woven Geotextiles

NonWoven Geotextiles

Granite offers a variety of Nonwoven geotextiles for improving water flow, filtration of sediments and soil stabilization. They are designed with great load trasferring capability when under stress (i.e. under rip-rap) and typically have low tensile properties. Our non-woven needle-punched fabrics are excellent filters though, and resist clogging even in the toughest conditions!!.

When used in conjunction with woven geotextile or drainage stone, a non-woven fabric will reduce the loss of project site soil. In addition to this our filter fabrics are often used to cushion liners, separate aggregate layers, and to protect geosynthetics.

These fabrics are well suited to protect liners from damage by sharp objects, increasing the puncture, impact and abrasion resistance when installed as an overlay. They are also able to absorb asphalt tack to form an excellent moisture barrier that minimizes cracking and erosion below hard armor.

The use of an engineered nonwoven fabric directly on a soft saturated soil (substrate) improves the life expectancy of roads and rail infrastructure by preventing aggregate from intermixing with soil and improving overall load performance. This saves money and creates happy customers!
