GEOTEXTILES

CETCO nonwoven geotextiles are produced in state-of-the-art production facilities and are needle-punch manufactured with chemically resistant polypropylene staple fiber to produce premium grade products.

Function

Non-woven, needle-punched geotextiles provide a cushioning layer to protect adjacent geosynthetics. Their uniform consistency provides excellent filtration and drainage, while their strength helps reinforce and separate layers. With this versatility in mind, it is easy to see why CETCO non-woven geotextiles are used in a wide variety of environmental applications.

Applications 

Non-woven geotextiles can be applied in multiple-component waste-containment bottom-liner systems and cover and closure systems. They help prevent puncture of the geomembrane component as well as provide separation between dissimilar soil, liner, and aggregate materials. They can also be used as filters to minimize the clogging of granular drainage materials and as components of synthetic drainage systems. In some cases, non-woven geotextiles can be installed below the barrier layer as a component of a multilayer gas venting system to prevent the accumulation of gas pressure.

Features and Benefits

• A wide range of products permits economical, performance-driven product selection and specification.
• Chemically resistant polypropylene construction provides long performance life in harsh environments.
• High interface shear strength against most surfaces allows for a greater factor of safety than with granular drainage materials, even in the most challenging of applications.
