Filament geotextile filter fabric consists of polyester continuous filament yarns that are heat bonded to retain their relative position. The interlocking fibers provide strength to the fabric. These filter fabrics offer exceptional water flow rates and are commonly employed for filtering soil fines in drainage applications. They are used in various ways, including as a wrapping material for perforated pipes, in trench drains, for erosion protection, and in combination with three-dimensional structures to create prefabricated drains. The high-quality filtration capabilities of filament geotextile filter fabrics make them effective in managing water flow and preventing soil erosion, ensuring the integrity and functionality of drainage systems and related structures.
1. What Is Filament Geotextile Filter Fabric？
Filament geotextile filter fabric is a type of nonwoven geotextile made from 100% UV stabilized polypropylene. It is mechanically bonded and consists of continuous filaments. These filter fabrics have been used for many years in various applications, providing separation, protection, and filtration functions. They are commonly used in roadways, railroads, landfills, and civil/environmental engineering projects to extend their lifespan.
Filament geotextile filter fabrics are known for their durability and longevity. The continuous filament manufacturing process ensures the use of high-quality raw materials. These fabrics have longer surface fibers and a whiter color compared to short filament geotextiles. They are thicker and can create three-dimensional voids, which contribute to their hydraulic performance. The puncture resistance and creep resistance of filament geotextiles are superior to those of polyester staple fiber geotextiles.
These fabrics offer excellent heat resistance, withstanding temperatures up to 230°C. They are widely used in water conservancy dams, slope protection, channel isolation, seepage prevention, road construction, railway and airport foundations, filtration, drainage, soil slope reinforcement, retaining walls, pavement reinforcement, port projects, beach dikes, seaports, breakwaters, and more.
Filament geotextile filter fabrics typically range in specifications from 100g/m2 to 800g/m2 and are available in widths of 1m to 6m.
2. What Are Benefits of Filament Geotextile Filter Fabric？
Filament geotextile filter fabric offers several benefits for construction projects:
2.1 Heavy Duty and High Strength
With a density of 6oz and a tensile strength of 350N, our filament geotextile filter fabric is made of tough and durable PP non-woven material. It outperforms other woven ground covers in terms of erosion-proof, damp-proof, tear-proof, and long-lasting properties.
2.2 Exclusive Permeability & Soil-Friendly
This fabric is designed for major construction erosion control and is not to be confused with normal landscape fabric. It allows for proper drainage and is suitable for use under concrete or pavement. While it can be used for retaining walls and walk paths, its primary purpose is to withstand heavy loads and high traffic rather than acting as a weed barrier.
2.3 Wide Usage Range
Our filament geotextile filter fabric is suitable for projects requiring drainage, separation, and filtration. It is perfect for applications such as French drains, erosion control, driveway underlayment, RipRap channels, retaining walls, and other construction projects.
2.4 Tailor-Made Solutions
We offer a wide range of options to provide tailored solutions that meet your specific requirements.
2.5 High Long-Term Resistance and Robustness
Our filament geotextile filter fabric is designed to exhibit long-term resistance to environmental factors while maintaining its robustness, ensuring its effectiveness and durability over time.
2.6 Expert Team Support
Our knowledgeable team is available to provide you with expert advice and guidance on selecting the appropriate filament geotextile filter fabric for your project.
2.7 Uniform Product Quality
Our filament geotextile filter fabric is manufactured to meet consistent quality standards, ensuring reliable performance and maintaining uniformity across the product line.
3. Case Study of Filament Geotextile Filter Fabric for Port Construction in Tsingdao
In April 2018, the Qingdao Port Road Construction Project Department reached out to BPM for information on the price of filament geotextile filter fabric. They were interested in utilizing this fabric in their project to enhance road durability, thanks to its high temperature resistance and bursting strength. BPM promptly responded to the inquiry and engaged in multiple discussions with the project leader to finalize the pricing details for the filament geotextile.
To ensure the quality and suitability of the product, the project department dispatched representatives from the materials and quality inspection departments to visit BPM’s factory. They conducted a thorough inspection of the 200g/m2 filament geotextile, assessing both the production process and the fabric’s overall quality. The geotextiles met all the necessary project requirements.
The road construction project department swiftly proceeded to sign a contract for the purchase of the filament geotextile filter fabric with the product’s performance and BPM’s commitment to meeting their needs. This agreement solidified the partnership between the two entities, ensuring the successful implementation of the geotextile solution in the road construction project.
