Separation between the natural subsoil and the sub-base’s layers has been proven to be an effective method since ancient times.
Geotechnical fabric / Geotextile
The utilization of Geotechnical fabrics and Geotextile (woven and nonwoven) improves the engineering functioning of roads and routes while fulfilling the following functions:
-
Separation between thin-grained soil and coarse materials. Preventing pumping of fines from the subgrade to the base course.
-
Maintaining the planned substrate thickness and preventing the loss of fill material compressed into the soft subsoil.
-
Uniformly distributing vertical loads over a large area, the loads distribution instigates the reduction of the forces operating on the subsoil.
-
Rapid and effective drainage through the Geotextile and prevention of hydrostatic pressure, which are essential to the proper functioning of the road.
-
Utilizing tensile forces by friction in between the fill layers.
-
An effective protection layer atop diverse lining systems.
-
The usage of a Geotextiles within the road structure’s cross-section will decrease differential sinking and in certain cases will enable the reduction of the substrates’ thickness and increase the repair and upkeep period.
Geotechnical fabrics
Geotechnical fabrics are recommended for application in lining, drainage and separation works and they are used in various civil engineering applications such as – roads, routes, railroad tracks, retaining walls and sports fields.
The Geotechnical fabrics marketed by Admir excel in exceptional durability and they suit many applications such as:
-
Separation between the different soil layers.
-
Reinforcement and strengthening of the pavement and/or road’s layers.
-
Separation between the Geomembranes and the structure to be lined, to safeguard the lining layer.
