Traditional road construction often suffers from:
Soil deformation
Water accumulation
Premature pavement failure
High maintenance costs
Geotextiles address these issues by:
Improving Subgrade Stability
They reinforce weak soil and distribute loads more evenly.
Enhancing Drainage
They prevent water accumulation under pavements.
Preventing Soil Contamination
They separate aggregate layers from subgrade soil.
From a cost perspective, geotextiles:
Reduce the need for thick aggregate layers
Lower excavation costs
Extend pavement lifespan
Reduce maintenance frequency
Geotextiles are widely used in:
Highways and expressways
Airport runways
Industrial roads
Rural road projects
Conclusion
By integrating geotextiles into road construction, engineers can achieve stronger, more durable, and cost-effective infrastructure solutions.
