Filament polyester geotextile membrane is used as a fast dehydration layer in the roadbed, and it needs to maintain its permeability without losing its separation function to prevent soil erosion and road gene rain from washing and collapsing.

Case Study

  • Location: Bangkok, Thailand
  • Products : 300g/㎡ filament polyester geotextile
  • Application : road construction

 Issue
In every country, road construction is a very important link for economic development. In construction, the highway subgrade is one of the important parts of the road. As a key link of pavement engineering, it usually needs to bear loads of different weights and needs to have a certain load capacity. The roadbed is an important part of the road and the foundation of the pavement structure. It bears various loads from the road surface. The construction quality of the roadbed directly affects the quality of the pavement, the service life of the entire pavement, and further affects traffic and personal safety. At the same time, extending the service life of roads is also a very important issue. We received a message from an Irish customer who wanted to use an inexpensive construction method to reinforce the roadbed. At the same time, the life of the road is longer and the load force is greater and the stability of the road is ensured. We recommended the filament polyester geotextile membrane produced by our company to customers, and showed customers some time cases of our filament polyester geotextiles in road construction in different countries.

Solution

BPM engineer recommended that customers use 300gsm filament non woven polyester geotextile membrane, which can be checked by increasing the tensile strength. Today, after receiving customer information, we provided the customer with a sample of 2 square meters of filament polyester geotextile membrane for free. After the customer received it, the local testing agency in Bangkok conducted some professional testing, and the testing agency confirmed us Quality of products. After confirming the construction area with the customer, as well as some construction details. And after waiting for the customer to pay, we immediately produced 35,000 square meters of filament polyester geotextile membrane. The filament is quickly obtained in the pavement base of nylon geotextile, it needs to maintain its network, while not losing its exempt function to prevent water and soil geotextile, and use it with foundation, soil construction, rock, soil or other materials, and the use of geotextile. The characteristics of soil formation, protection, drainage, isolation, filtration, and containment. Wisdom and other functions have improved the quality of the highway, prolonged the life of the highway, shortened the construction time, and lowered the project cost.

Benefit

Filament polyester geotextile membrane is made by the method of forming and consolidating polyester filaments. Its fibers are arranged into a three-dimensional structure. It is a new type of building material in geotechnical and civil engineering applications. In addition to the characteristics of mechanical strength such as puncture, it also has good vertical and horizontal drainage performance and good extension performance, as well as high biological resistance, acid and alkali resistance, aging resistance and other good chemical functions. Polyester filament geotextile also has a wide pore size range, tortuous void distribution, good permeability and filtration performance. Light weight, good overall continuity, easy construction, high tensile strength and corrosion resistance.

The advantages of filament polyester geotextile in road construction

(1) Filament polyester geotextile can be used to strengthen asphalt pavement, cement concrete structure pavement and roadbed. It can be applied to both hard and flexible roads. Compared with traditional design roads, it can reduce project cost, prolong the service life of enterprises, and avoid developing road conditional reflection cracks.

(2) The thickness of the filament polyester geotextile product is an easy-to-separate asphalt pavement, which constitutes a spacer layer to separate the oil, water adhesive layer and has a thermal insulation effect.

(3) The filament polyester geotextile membrane is light in weight and high in strength. It is very important to meet the requirements for geotextile technology in the process of Road Construction Project management.

(4) The filament polyester geotextile is rough and not easy to slide. When laying, the rough surface is up after special treatment to increase the coefficient of friction, increase the separation force of the surface layer, avoid being rolled up and damaged by the wheels during the construction process, and at the same time can prevent the vehicle and the paver from slipping on the cloth.

(5) Filament polyester geotextile for highway maintenance are convenient for construction and have good application effects. Ordinary geotextile fiber yarn is easy to become the tire belt of the vehicle, leading to hanging yarn, and even can be rolled up in severe cases, forming a geotextile to cause displacement and structural damage.

Application range of polyester filament geotextile

  1. Increase the stability of gravel slopes and reinforced soil to prevent soil erosion and frost damage at low temperatures
  2. The isolation layer between artificial fill, rockfill or material field and the foundation, isolation between different frozen soil layers, filtering and reinforcement effects
  3. The filter layer around the drainage concealed pipe or the gravel drainage ditch
  4. Vertical or horizontal drainage inside the earth dam, buried in the soil to dissipate pore water pressure
  5. Highways (including temporary roads), railways, embankments, airports and other projects are used to strengthen weak foundations.

Construction method of polyester filament geotextile

(1) Construction steps: construction preparation→laying liquor asphalt sticky layer oil→laying geotextile→laying asphalt concrete.

(2) Construction preparation: The old road surface should be cleaned of loose dust and debris, cleaned to keep the road dry, and the uneven part of the road surface should be leveled. If the road surface is severely damaged, the structure should be replaced according to the design requirements. Level the road with obvious rutting.

(3) Spread the bituminous sticky layer oil: use liquid petroleum pitch for the sticky layer oil. When spraying, the atmospheric temperature should be above 10℃, and the oil temperature should not be lower than 180℃. Use one spray, and the oil volume is 0.7kg/m. Spray evenly, and the spray width should be 5~10cm wider than the geotextile.

(4) Laying and lap joint of geotextile: The geotextile is manually laid, using single-sided pile polyester filament, weighing about 300g/m2, and the rough side of the pile is facing up, and one side is tightened and fixed. Lay straight and close to the road. The laying of geotextile must be completed before it loses its cohesiveness. After laying, it is rolled with a tire roller to make it tightly combined and the length of the wipe is 10-20cm. The geotextile should be laid in a straight line as much as possible. When it is necessary to turn, cut it at the turning point to avoid wrinkles when laying it over and over.

(5) Laying the asphalt concrete surface layer: After the geotextile is laid, pave the asphalt concrete immediately. In order to make the paver and the transportation vehicle drive, you can sprinkle sand or stone chips on the geotextile, and ensure the asphalt concrete compactness.

(6) Precautions for construction: Geotextiles cannot be stacked in the open air, and there must be fixed rain and sun protection facilities to prevent dampness or aging under ultraviolet light. When laying asphalt concrete, prevent vehicles from turning sharply or braking on the geotextile. It is not suitable for construction when it is raining and humid or the temperature is cold, otherwise the bonding strength will be affected.
