Short fiber non woven needle punched Soil Retention Fabric is the most cost effective and extensively used geotextile fabric to ensure improved performance and design life of soil or granular layers in a range of civil, coastal and environmental engineering projects. Staple fibre needle punched geotextile is often manufactured from short polypropylene or polyester fibers. Polypropylene has good chemical stability and cost/weight ratio, but polyester offers good chemical resistance, high creep strength and tensile strength.
Case Study
- Location: Canada
- Product: 160g PP Short fiber geotextile
- Application: Road Construction
Issue
In Canada, engineering and building construction generally have strict management requirements, requiring the quality of each product used to be qualified, and the use of recycled materials is allowed. Customers from Canadian engineering company inquired about geotextiles and explain their market and application. Due to the sparsely populated area, many residents and users will carry out road maintenance for their farms and home gardens, and there will also be many large-scale road construction projects, so they need to choose a product with high cost performance. Moreover, it is necessary to meet and solve the residents’ choice of multiple sizes of products, and geotextile is undoubtedly the most suitable product for road construction. Its own role and size customization flexibility are more suitable for the Canadian retail market. However, there are four types of geotextile. Which one is more suitable needs to be compared from the index price of geotextile. The customer provided the index of geotextile commonly used locally, but due to the lack of professionalism of the product, it is difficult for the customer to judge which type of geotextile it is.
Solution
According to the geotextile index data provided by the customer, we compared the data of four types of Geotextiles and found that the data provided by the customer is more similar to the high-strength polypropylene geotextile. Therefore, we suggest that customers purchase high-strength Soil Retention Fabric. Because we cooperated with our customers for the first time, the customers also had some doubts about our recommendation, but we can understand the customers’ mood, so we suggest that the customers send us samples for confirmation. After receiving the customer’s samples, we tested various indexes of the samples and compared the product surfaces at the same time. The test results show that our suggestions are correct. Among the four types of geotextiles, the most suitable is high-strength polypropylene geotextile soil retention fabric. After reaching this conclusion, we provided the tested sample data to the customer, and arranged our own polypropylene geotextile samples to the customer for confirmation. After receiving the sample confirmation, the customer recognized our professionalism and decided to place an order. In terms of size, customers require two sizes, and we can produce according to customers’ requirements. On the packaging, the customer stated that he needed plastic film packaging, and we customized the packaging according to the customer’s requirements.
Benefits
1. Geotextile soil retention fabric will increase the strength and durability of roads, making them safer and long-lasting. Heavy rains and extreme weather events will cause roads to wear away and become unstable. Geotextile road fabric aids in filtration and road stabilization. With a layer of dirt or gravel on the geotextile, you can make sure the aggregate layers are separate and stabilized.
2. Geotextiles are typically made from either polypropylene or polyester. Polypropylene is light, strong and durable. Polyester soil retention fabric, heavier in comparison, are as strong, and are compatible with most soil environments. They’re particularly beneficial for subsurface drainage and erosion control, as well as for stabilizing slopes and roads. They’re also used extensively in landfill, road and railway construction, land reclamation and sea defense.
3. Application in road construction and maintenance. Geotextiles for road construction are mainly used for mechanical functions. Water can pass through them with minimal erosion of soil particles. As such they are used for filtration, to reinforce weak soils and increase bearing capacity and to separate smaller and larger particles to reduce erosion. Some of the advantages that geotextiles have over traditional construction materials are as followed.
- Unlike organic materials, which vary across a site, geotextiles are relatively homogeneous;
- They’re generally less expensive to buy, transport, and install than soils and aggregates;
- They’re readily available and much less work to install;
- They reduce the environmental impact associated with quarrying and transporting materials for use in road construction.
Summary
Geotextiles are thin & strong membrane fabric which is used to reinforce soil & prevent from damage.
Geotextiles are mostly used in road construction, especially to fill gaps between the roads to improve soil structure. Geotextile makes poor soil more beneficial for use and then easy to build in difficult places also. Geotextile are ideal materials used for Construction & infrastructure like roads, buildings, dams and many more.
The geotextile soil retention fabric can improve & stability and decreases the process of wind & water erosion. It helps to prevent the erosion of soil but allows the water to drain off. A geotextiles made from synthetic or natural fibers associated with soil thin pieces. The Soil Retention Fabric improves soil characteristics such as Friction or movement restraint, Support of loads and Changes in bearing failure plane.
