Nonwoven Fabric Geotextile

Engineering and Stabilization with

Nonwoven Geotextiles
The nonwoven fabric geotextile is used in a variety of civil
and environmental applications to separate aggregates,
filter materials and provide a reliable foundation under
specific areas. Engineered to offer high levels of
permeability, nonwoven geotextiles are an ideal solution
for separation, drainage, sediment control, cushioning and
various other construction and road repair applications.

Nonwoven Geotextile Fabric Applications

While the nonwoven fabric can be used in almost any stabilization, separation or cushioning
application, nonwoven geotextiles are most commonly used in areas that also require filtration. The
nonwoven design of the material provides a higher flow through rate, making it easier for water to
pass through the material. Nonwoven geotextiles are typically classified in the following categories:

Common Applications of Nonwoven Geotextiles

Asphalt Overlay: When constant
cracking in asphalt becomes a problem,
geotextiles can be used to help provide
an extra layer of support. Placing
nonwoven geotextiles down before the
asphalt can help prevent further
cracking and allows the roads to have
further flexibility during their use.

Geotextile Drainage: One of the most common applications for

this nonwoven fabric is filtration around French drains and
subsurface drains. Geotextile fabric helps filter out silt while still
allowing water to flow
through the fabric. Uses include:

 French Drains
 Subsurface Drains
 Under Drains

Aggregate Separation: For areas where soil stabilization is

required, nonwoven fabric geotextiles play an important role of
allowing water to pass through the material. This provides a stable
layer of material that will not weaken due to water.

What Makes Our Nonwoven Fabric So Reliable?

Nonwoven geotextiles are made from a
blend of materials designed to offer high
resistance to many of the challenges
they will face during outdoor use.
