Woven Geotextiles
Due to their high quality and good properties, Geopex woven geotextiles are the right choice for applications in the civil and civil engineering sector.
All our geotextiles are produced by renowned and qualified manufacturers and are checked and tested both internally and externally according to the latest European and international standards. This ensures consistently high quality that meets high expectations.
Our woven geotextiles can be supplied as a version with woven loops, extended lifespan, extra UV protection and/or as a geocomposite, where the fabric is provided with another geotextile such as a protective nonwoven.
The geotextiles are designed to provide an economical solution for your application and have been developed with properties to be used as soil separation, pressure distribution, filter, drainage and erosion protection.
Our products are also successfully used in reinforcement applications as reinforced soil structures, earth walls and reinforcement of poor subsurfaces.
They are also used for facsine mattresses for shore and bottom protection in hydraulic engineering applications, as an under layer in horse riding arenas, as a crop removal fabric for clearing shredded foliage from greenhouses, as an anti-root fabric, as a sand tube, dewatering tube or sand bag.
Where to use
The Geopex fabrics are CE certified for use in the following applications:
Filtration and Drainage
The use of geotextiles as filters is possibly the oldest and most common use. The combination of the correct pore size and water permeability prevents leaching of the fine soil parts, but also ensures the drainage of excess water. Drainage is intended to relieve the hydrostatic pressure that can arise in the subsurface near retaining walls and steep slopes in order to improve the load-bearing capacity and stability of the slopes, banks and road structures.
Reinforcement and stress distribution
With conventional construction techniques it is often not possible to build dikes or roads, for example, on very weak subsoil, because it may not be economically, technically or constructively feasible.
However, the use of reinforcement fabrics, which combine high tensile strength with low elongation, makes this possible.
In the most common application of reinforcement, the geotextile absorbs the tensile and friction forces.
The geotextile must have sufficient tensile strength and anchorage length to withstand the forces caused by settlement or heavy traffic.
Separation
Separation is the process of preventing two different materials in the foundation from mixing, which will reduce the load-bearing capacity of the structure, such as a road.
To prevent this unwanted mixing of the valuable foundation materials and the subsurface, a geotextile is usually used. As a result, the foundation layer will continue to retain its properties, which improves the capacity and lifespan of the entire construction.
Geopex has the following woven geotextiles in its range:
Polypropylene fabrics
These fabrics are made of polypropylene, with life-extending additives. The production of the Geopex PP geotextiles is certified according to ISO 9001 and the products are CE certified.
The PP fabrics are also available with woven-in loops.
Polyester reinforcement fabric
Due to its stiffness, this type of fabric is ideally suited as ground reinforcement in various areas of application, especially at very high loads or when using sharp fillers or fillers. Polyester fabrics offer a great advantage when very high tensile strength and separation are required.
Polyethylene fabrics
This type of fabric, made from polyethylene, is very suitable for applications where high water permeability is required, such as drainage and filter applications, due to the fine structure of the monofilament yarns.
