Geotextile FAQs – ibeam.ae
1. What is Geotextile and its main applications?
Geotextile is a versatile material used in construction and civil engineering to improve soil stability and performance made from synthetic fibers providing the right solution for erosion control, drainage, separation, and reinforcement. ibeam supplies these durable, cost-effective, and easy to install materials essential for various construction applications. Geotextiles are typically made from polypropylene or polyester fibers that are woven or non-woven together to create a fabric-like material. Primary applications include road construction for stabilizing roadbeds and improving load distribution, erosion control protecting slopes, embankments, and shorelines, landfill liners separating waste from soil and preventing contamination, drainage systems filtering and separating soil in water management projects, retaining walls reinforcing soil and enhancing wall stability, slope stabilization preventing landslides and soil movement, and pavement construction enhancing performance and longevity where soil improvement and geotechnical solutions are critical requirements.
