There are two categories of Geotextiles:
a) Woven b) Non-Woven
Geotextiles - Properties
Protection
Separation
Filtration
Drainage
Due to their
excellent
elongation
properties,
Fibertex
Geotextiles
resist
considerable
local stresses
inflicted by the
construction.
Fibertex
Geotextiles
protect fragile
materials
against damage
and reinforce
the construction
to prevent
stress cracks
from occuring.
Even though
Fibertex
Geotextiles are
completely
diffusion-open,
the pores are
kept small
enough to ensure
that Fibertex
Geotextiles
always form an
effective
barrier between
the different
layers of
material, i.e.
soil, sand and
gravel.
The pore
structure in
Fibertex
Geotextiles,
allows water to
pass
unobstructed
while particles,
such as silt and
sand are
retained. The
special
structure of
Fibertex
Geotextiles
prevents
clogging of the
filter.
The structure of
the
needle-punched
Fibertex
Geotextiles,
ensures that
water is
transported
inside the
geotextile in
order to drain
all water from
the
construction.
