Woven Geotextile
Woven geotextile represents a unique geotextile type which is made through the interlacing of two or additional sets of fibers, tapes, yarns, filaments, etc. Mostly, these yarns are woven to be parallel and straight to one another.
Polyethylene Woven Geotextile
Polyethylene or polyester woven geotextile is made when polyester is extracted into flame tapes or filament products. Then after bundling or slitting processes, it is weaved to form fabrics.
Polypropylene Woven Geotextile
Polypropylene woven geotextile is obtained through weaving and blending two rows of virgin or tape yarns. These are woven into permeable textile patters. They can be found in different thickness levels as well as compactness in different industries where they are required for use.
The best material for woven geotextiles will always be based on the user and need for this fabric.
Woven Geotextile Fabric Specifications
- Its tensile strength level is high.
- Modulus is high.
- Elongation is low.
- Permeability is high.
- Maintenance is low.
- Low porosity.
- Resists corrosion.
Uses of Woven Geotextile
- Highways
- Parking lots
- Residential streets
- Beneath driveways
Woven vs. Non-woven Geotextile Fabric
Below are the differences between woven and non-woven geotextiles.
- Woven geotextiles are ideal for the purposes of stabilization and reinforcement uses while non-woven geotextiles work perfectly for applications that will require filtration, drainage, and separation.
- Woven geotextiles are used in road construction applications due to its high tensile strength and load capacity. Non-woven geotextiles are used in such constructions too.
- Both geotextiles can be made either from polypropylene or polyester fibers or yarns.
- Woven geotextiles are mostly semi impermeable and have a low flow-through level or rate while non-woven geotextiles have high flow-through rates and are permeable.
- Woven geotextiles are manufactured through weaving while non-woven geotextiles are produced through the bonding of materials together.
Generally, the project type being undergone will determine the geotextile type that will work.
