Functions
Filtration: Civil nonwoven geotextiles filter soil particles while allowing excellent water permittivity for structures requiring drainage.
Erosion Control: They can provide erosion control structures with stabilization and filtration.
Reinforcement/Stabilization: They can improve the mechanical properties of soil and structural fill by absorbing tensile forces and reducing deformation.
Separation: They also perform separation beneath roads, keeping dissimilar materials separated to maintain their functionality.
Drainage: Their high in-place and normal flow rates prevent excess water buildup and pore pressure, keeping civil structures strong and stable.
