When it comes to civil engineering and construction, choosing the right geotextile is paramount. At http://www.hzgeotextile.com, we manufacture both woven geotextile and non-woven geotextile, each serving a distinct purpose in infrastructure projects.
Woven geotextile is typically made from monofilament or multifilament yarns interwoven together. It is known for its high tensile strength, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring reinforcement, such as retaining walls and road stabilization. If your primary goal is to add strength to a weak subgrade, woven fabric is the industry standard.
On the other hand, non-woven geotextile is produced by needling synthetic fibers (usually polypropylene) into a felt-like mat. This structure gives it superior filtration and drainage properties. It is the go-to solution for French drains, erosion control, and separation layers where water needs to pass through but soil particles must be retained.
Understanding the difference between woven and non-woven geotextile ensures you are not overpaying for features you don't need or under-specifying for your load requirements. For specific engineering advice, contact our team at Hzgeotextile.
