The Role of Geotextiles

1. Isolation Effect

Geotextiles can be used to isolate building materials with different physical properties, such as soil and sand, soil and concrete.

2. Filtration (inverse filtration) Effect

Geotextile has good air permeability and water permeability, which can allow water flow through, while intercepting fine sand, small stones, etc., to maintain the stability

 of soil and water engineering.

3. Drainage Function

Geotextile has good water conductivity, can form a drainage channel inside the soil, the excess liquid and gas in the soil structure discharge.

4. Reinforcing Effect

Geotextile can enhance the tensile strength and deformation resistance of soil, so as to enhance the stability of building structure and improve the quality of soil.

5. Protective Effect

Geotextile can diffuse concentrated stress, transfer stress, prevent soil from being damaged by external force, and play a protective role. This is particularly common in river

 regulation, bank protection, bottom protection works, as well as coastal moisture, road slope protection and other works.

6. Anti-puncture Effect

Combined with geomembrane, geotextile can play a role in preventing puncture, thus improving the effect of composite waterproof and impermeable materials.

7. Environmental Protection and Ecological Restoration

Geotextiles can also play a role in environmental protection and ecological restoration. It can be used as a growth medium for plants, promote plant growth and root development,

 and repair vegetation cover and ecosystems. In addition, geotextiles can also be used for the closure and isolation of landfills and tailings ponds, effectively controlling and

 reducing the leakage and diffusion of pollutants.

In summary, geotextile can play a variety of functions in land engineering and environmental protection, such as protection, enhancement, filtration and repair, and has a wide range

 of application prospects.
