SELECTED SOLUTION
Road Construction
Adds tensile support, separates roadbed layers and provides rapid dewatering while preserving permeability.WHAT IS GEOTEXTILE FABRIC?
A permeable layer that manages soil and water.
Geotextile is a permeable geosynthetic fabric used in contact with soil, rock or other civil engineering materials. Depending on its construction and specified properties, it can separate dissimilar layers, retain soil while allowing water flow, transmit water, add tensile support or protect an adjacent barrier.
In road construction, railways, drainage systems, embankments and erosion-control works, the geotextile becomes part of the complete ground system. Product selection must consider soil grading, hydraulic conditions, loading, survivability and installation—not a keyword or GSM value alone.
CORE FUNCTIONS
Five jobs. One carefully selected fabric.
The required function determines whether a woven or nonwoven geotextile fabric—and which tested properties—should be considered.Separation
Keeps fine subgrade soil and granular construction layers from intermixing.
Filtration
Allows controlled water passage while limiting migration of retained soil particles.
Drainage
Supports water movement toward a designed outlet within a coordinated drainage system.
Reinforcement
Provides tensile resistance where the engineered system requires additional ground support.
Protection
Cushions geomembranes and other sensitive layers against puncture and construction damage.
WOVEN VS NONWOVEN GEOTEXTILE
Select the structure around the required performance.
Woven geotextile is formed by interlacing yarns. Its construction is commonly associated with separation and reinforcement where tensile response is important.
Nonwoven geotextile fabric is made from fibres bonded mechanically, thermally or chemically. Its felt-like structure is commonly used for filtration, drainage, separation and protection. “Geofabric” is sometimes used as a general search term, but geotextile is the recognised engineering term.
THE PARK APPROACH
Support across the complete geotextile decision.
Park connects material selection, manufacturing discipline and application support so project teams can specify geotextile fabric around real site requirements.Application-led selection
We begin with the required function, soil conditions, hydraulic demand, loading and construction sequence—not GSM alone.
Controlled manufacturing
Material selection and process control are coordinated to deliver consistent woven or nonwoven geotextile construction for the specified application.
Quality-focused review
Relevant mechanical, hydraulic and survivability properties are reviewed against the project requirement before a product is recommended.
Technical project support
Our team helps consultants, contractors and project owners compare product functions, application requirements and installation considerations.
GEOTEXTILE FAQ
Questions engineers and buyers ask.
What is geotextile fabric?+
Geotextile is a permeable textile used with soil, rock and other geotechnical materials. It forms part of an engineered civil construction system and can provide separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement or protection.
What is geotextile fabric used for?+
Common uses include separating road-base aggregate from subgrade soil, filtering water while retaining soil particles, supporting drainage, protecting geomembranes, controlling erosion and reinforcing selected ground structures.
What is the difference between woven and nonwoven geotextile?+
Woven geotextiles are produced by interlacing yarns and are commonly selected where tensile reinforcement and separation are important. Nonwoven geotextiles are bonded fibre structures commonly selected for filtration, drainage, separation and protection. Final selection depends on the project design and required properties.
How is geotextile used in road construction?+
A geotextile layer may be placed between a weak subgrade and granular base to limit intermixing, maintain aggregate integrity and support filtration. The required fabric properties depend on soil, drainage, traffic and installation conditions.
Does geotextile allow water to pass through?+
Geotextiles are permeable, but hydraulic behaviour varies by product. For filtration, the selected opening size and permeability must permit water flow while limiting uncontrolled movement of the retained soil.
What is geotextile fabric made of?+
Geotextile fabric is commonly manufactured from polymer fibres or yarns such as polyester or polypropylene. The fibres may be woven into an ordered structure or bonded into a nonwoven fabric according to the required engineering function.
How do you choose the right geotextile fabric?+
Selection should consider the primary function, soil grading, opening size, permeability, tensile properties, puncture resistance, installation conditions and required design life. The selected product must satisfy the project specification rather than being chosen by GSM alone.
