Textile
Geotextile is a material that not so long ago began to be used in construction but has already gained a reputation for being reliable, durable, and versatile.
Geotextile is a woven fabric made of polyester and polyamide fibers intertwined in a specific way in different directions. Geotextile can withstand heavy loads. The fibers from which the material is made have low creep, which allows the use of geotextiles for several decades. After two years of intensive use, the fiber can only stretch by 1%.
Geotextiles are successfully used in various areas of construction:
- for soil reinforcement, a high-strength material is ideal, which is laid between layers, forming a structure with improved characteristics. Geotextile allows you to achieve a high level of elongation with minimal elongation of the web;
- to strengthen the embankment on a weak base, such as clay or peat, where the risk of lowering the maximum permissible soil strength value increases significantly. Geotextile allows you to achieve greater soil stability;
- geotextiles are actively used to strengthen household waste landfills. The waterproofing layer created by the material allows minimizing the load on the soil layers.
The convenient size of the canvases allows the use of geotextiles even in a small space. No special knowledge is required to lay the material, and unqualified specialists can cope with the work.
Geotextiles will extend the life of a structure or structure by several decades. It is important to note that the democratic price of the material allows you to reduce the cost of work, which is especially important for large construction projects.
