The application of geotextile woven is varied and beneficial for many projects. Before purchasing or using this material, make sure to understand the details and where you can apply it.
The common woven geotextile is made of PP or polypropylene polymer material. However, you may also find that some others are made of polyester or PET. Physically, this fabric is in a sheet shape with woven fibers.
These fibers are woven with modern technology to ensure that it has the right shape and characteristic.That is why; this woven fabric is durable enough to face UV light. Besides that, it also has a durable pull force based on the ASTM standard.


The Application of Geotextile Woven
Meanwhile, for the applications, you may use this fabric in various conditions. Usually, it is more for civil engineering or projects which are related to strengthening the ground.
Make sure to understand that the woven and non-woven may have different Applications. So, here are the application of geotextile woven recommendations.
- Solution for Slope reinforcement on landslide-prone soils
- As a Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Wall structural system
- Reinforcement of stockpile base in the construction of highways, plantation roads, industrial roads, and work roads
- Airport construction work, seaport, and railway work
- Reinforcement of container stacking areas
- Stabilization of marshland, organic soil, and peat soil.
- Strengthening water resources infrastructure (dams & irrigation)
- Protection against erosion in offshore areas so that the areas surrounding will be more secure.
The Functions of Woven Geotextile
The result of woven siltfilm tape has a high enough tensile strength. That is why; the application of Geotextile Woven is a solution to overcoming infrastructure construction problems.
This Woven material can function as a reinforcement of piles, especially in areas with soft soil type. In addition, another function of this weaving is the tensile strength diaphragm.
That diaphragm is used together with geomembranes. The two layers will work into a pressure diaphragm between two materials that have different pressures.
The function of Geotextile Woven is common as reinforcement on the soil. This is especially true in construction on soft soil and slope construction reinforced by geosynthetics.
The existence of geotextile can prevent the collapse/failure of piles. Usually is due to the activities of transporting, deploying, and compaction of stockpile materials.
Facts about the Woven Geotextile
The application of geotextile woven above shows a few facts about this material. However, there are still some other interesting facts that you should note.
1. Material’s names
This fabric is usually woven in the form of woven yarn made of flat yarn and polypropylene fiber. Yarn in the form of minimal weaving is composed of two groups of parallel yarn or flat thread.
One group that is called warp threads is located along the long-term direction of the loom. For other groups, it is called weft. Then the intertwined warp and weft form a fabric complete with knitting and using different technologies.
2. The Types
Usually, thinly woven geotextiles have very strong tensile strength from either vertical or horizontal directions. Types of woven geotextile are divided into 2.
Those types are the PP Fiber and PET Filament Geotextile Woven. That is why; the application of geotextile woven is different from the non-woven one.
