1. What is geotextile fabric?

Geotextiles are flexible fabrics, normally made from polypropylene-based materials for durability. Depending on the style and type, they have different degrees of strength and permeability (how quickly water passes through the fabric).

2. What is the difference between woven vs nonwoven geotextile fabric?

Each geotextile type has its benefits and uses, depending on project requirements for strength, durability, and drainage. As the names indicate, the basic difference between the two lies not in how the geotextiles function, but rather in how they're manufactured. Woven geotextiles are woven with industrial looms in a consistently applied pattern for strength and drainage. Nonwoven geotextiles are most commonly manufactured with what's called a "needle-punch" process, using barbed needles to create a felt-like permeable geotextile fabric. For assistance in determining the type of geotextile fabric that fits your project's requirements, call us!

3. How does woven geotextile work and how is it used?

The type of woven geotextile needed for a job is determined by several factors that affect how the woven filter functions on a jobsite. For example, locations that will place a greater amount of pressure or stress on the fabric (whether through weight load or weather factors) will benefit from fabric with greater grab strength. For low-lying areas or those exposed to substantial water volumes, woven filter fabrics with larger weave openings are advantageous. With proper application and installation, woven geotextile extends the service life of roadways and other projects.

Common uses for woven geotextile fabric include:

• Rip Rap Support
• Aggregate Separation
• Erosion Control
• Railroad Support
• Road Stabilization
• Ground Stabilization

4. What are the various measurements for woven geotextiles for?

These are the common classifications used in the specifications for woven geotextile fabrics:

• Grab Tensile Strength and Elongation: Indicate the breaking load of the fabric.
• Weight: The number of ounces per square yard.
• Trapezoidal Tear Strength & CBR Puncture Resistance: Two different methods of measuring the strength of the fabric while under tension.
• Permittivity & Permeability: Both measure the rate of water flow through the fabric.
• AOS (Apparent Opening Size): Fabrics with a higher percentage of open area experience less clogging. The larger the openings in the weave pattern, the faster the woven filter fabric can drain.

5. What does the number in the name of the woven geotextile type mean?

Woven geotextiles are generally categorized by their grab tensile strength rating. For example, Woven 150 indicates woven filter fabric with a grab tensile strength of 150 pounds.
