Recommendations for the use of geotextiles

Geotextile is a relatively new universal material, the use of which has become possible in many areas due to its strength characteristics, increased wear resistance and good tensile and tensile strength. Practical material reduces the cost of construction and prolongs the service life of structures. Geotextile has become indispensable in agriculture and horticulture, it is impossible to do without it in the construction of roads and railways, tunnels, hydraulic structures, sidewalks, when installing drainage systems, when laying underground utilities.

The choice of geotextile according to its method of manufacture and density depends on the intended type of work carried out and the technical requirements for this type of geotextile.The higher the load on the coating, the higher the density of the geotextile.

Density 100-150g/m2 – when arranging lawns, decorative reservoirs, for separating layers of soil-crushed stone-screening-sand, drainage systems, blind area, inversion roof (protective geomembrane), garden paths, sports fields with artificial turf, sports fields with natural grass, slopes.

Density 180-200 g /m2 – in the construction of foundations, sidewalks, artificial reservoirs, for the protection of waterproofing membranes, in the organization of drainage systems, as a separating layer of soil-crushed stone-sediment-sand, road works, parking lots, roadbed, slopes, shelter thermophilic plants.

Density 250g/m2 – construction of the foundation of the building, paving paving slabs, construction of parking, construction of roads for cars, to strengthen the slope, hydraulic works, artificial reservoirs, reservoirs, drainage.

Density 300g/m2 – in the construction of highways, highways, roads for freight and technological transport, parking lots with heavy machinery, general roads, as a reinforcing layer when strengthening embankments and slopes, as a protective layer when laying geomembranes, PVC membranes, geogrid.  


The main advantages of geotextiles are: ease of installation, environmental friendliness, affordable cost, strength, versatility, durability.
