PET Woven Geotextiles

Used to reinforce soft soils where extremely high tensile strength with low elongation is required. The ultimate tensile strength of G-Tex® PET woven geotextiles can reach over 1600kN/m in uniaxial direction.

G-Tex® PET series are woven geotextiles, made from high tenacity polyester yarns with excellent long-term design strength (LTDS) ideally used for applications requiring separation and reinforcement. G-Tex® PET woven geotextiles provide a cost effective solution to achieve greater and quicker stability of embankments on soft foundations.

Applications

Basal reinforcement
Embankment reinforcement
Retaining structures
Subgrade improvement

Features

High strength at low elongation
Long-term design strength (LTDS)
Separation and reinforcement in one product
Enhance structural stability

PP Woven Geotextiles

Ideal for applications where both high-strength reinforcement and separation functions are needed. Typically the strength range is from 14 kN/m to 150 kN/m.

G-Tex® PP series are woven geotexties, made from high tenacity polypropylene yarns. It is versatile in such a way that it reinforces soft ground and embankment while securing the trafficability of heavy equipment on soft ground. PP woven geotextiles have the name Ground Stabilization Geotextiles as it acts as a great separation for sand layer and soft ground, and provides prevention of uneven settlement of soft ground.

Applications

Parking lots
Driveways
Construction site accesses
Marine and coastal constructions

Features

High strength at low elongation
High modulus, resistant to damage
Separation and reinforcement in one product
Improve the performance of paved and unpaved roads

04 Energy Engineering

Power, oil, gas, coal mining

Geotextiles are woven, nonwoven or knitted textile materials consisting of synthetic and or natural polymers. G-Tex® geotextiles are permeable fabrics consisting mainly of materials such as polypropylene(PP) and polyester(PET). Their quality and performances can vary depending on the fibers length, the polymer used, the assembling process, etc.

These materials are used in geotechnical and civil engineering applications, such as infrastructure works, roads, railways, coastal protection, landfills, erosion control… to mostly fulfil separation, filtration drainage, stabilization and protection functions. They are the baseline of many other composite for combination with other geosynthetics.

Technical Information

Frequently Asked Questions

1.What are the basic properties of geotextiles?

The mass per unit area of a geotextile affects other properties of the geotextile, such as tensile strength, tear strength, puncture resistance, and apparent opening size, and is usually a good indicator of these properties. Generally, as the mass per unit area increases, strength and puncture resistance also increase.

2. What is the function of geotextiles?

The main functions of geotextiles are separation, filtration, drainage, protection and reinforcement. Geotextiles are typically used to improve soil characteristics on embankments, roads, railways, pipelines, canals, dams, coastal engineering and retaining structures.

3. What are the differences between nonwoven and woven geotextiles?

As the names indicate, the basic difference between the two is how they're manufactured. Nonwoven geotextiles are manufactured with a needle-punch process, using barbed needles to create a felt-like permeable geotextile fabric. Woven geotextiles are woven with industrial looms in a consistently applied pattern. The two geotextile types have their own benefits and uses, depending on project requirements for strength, durability.

4. Which geotextile is most suitable for my projects?

Geotextiles must be applied in accordance with its parameters and technical characteristics. Select a specific weight geotextiles for specific applications should be made on the basis of technical specifications or guided by the designer.
