Product Description:
This robust non-woven PP Geotextile is specifically designed for demanding hydraulic applications. Manufactured from UV-stabilized polypropylene, it offers superior resistance to degradation from sunlight, chemicals, and microorganisms in soil and water. The fabric's random fiber network provides excellent filtration properties by retaining soil particles while permitting the free passage of water, thus effectively controlling erosion. Its high permeability and mechanical strength make it an ideal choice for stabilizing soil under dynamic water conditions, providing both filtration and protective functions.
Application Scenarios:
Erosion Control in Riverbanks: Used beneath riprap (armor stone) to prevent soil from being scoured away by water currents, while allowing water to drain.
Filtration Layer in Revetments: Acts as a filter between the native soil and concrete block systems or gabions, ensuring system stability.
Protection for Marine Structures: Cushions and protects coastal structures like seawalls from underlying irregular surfaces.
Engineering Project Applications:
In major coastal defense and river training projects, this geotextile is deployed as a key component in revetment and scour protection systems. Engineers specify its use beneath rock armor in breakwaters or along canal linings. Its primary role is to ensure long-term filtration stability, preventing soil loss that could lead to the collapse of the hydraulic structure, thereby safeguarding critical infrastructure against erosive forces.
