Rather than offering products with specific unit weights, individual grades are manufactured to achieve performance related values.
When designing with a geotextile, it is the mechanical and hydraulic properties that are the most important to achieve value engineering, not weight.
With a standard width of 6 meters, GEOfabrics’ needlepunched non-woven geotextiles offer fewer overlaps so the products are not only quick to install but provide contractors with a more efficient coverage for a given area.
The main characteristics that prompt engineers to specify needlepunched non-wovens are their robustness – any damage to geotextiles is more likely to happen during installation, not in service – and their ability to provide sustained protection, separation and filtration in the harshest conditions.
Whether it’s a filter beneath rock armour on the Atlantic coast or a protector at the base of a deep landfill sitting in toxic leachate, GEOfabrics’ non-woven geotextiles have a track record in unrivalled performances:

GEOfabrics cover a wide range of sectors.
