NONWOVEN GEOTEXTILE RANGE

Nonwoven Geotextile products
and applications.

01 / 04

SELECTED SOLUTION

Road & Subgrade Separation

Separates fine subgrade soil from granular base layers while permitting controlled water movement.

NON-WOVEN GEOTEXTILE FILTER FABRIC

Filtration and drainage built into one permeable layer.

Non-woven geotextile fabric is formed from bonded polymer fibres to create a permeable and adaptable geosynthetic layer. Park supplies non-woven geotextile for drainage, filtration, road separation, geomembrane protection and erosion-control systems across civil engineering applications.

Its connected pore structure allows controlled water movement while retaining selected soil particles. Product selection must balance hydraulic performance with tensile strength, puncture resistance, installation survivability and long-term durability.

APPLICATION SYSTEMS

Selected around the soil, flow and installation.

A drainage geotextile performs correctly only when its filtration properties, adjacent materials and outlet route are considered together.
01

Road separation

Separates fine subgrade soil from granular pavement layers while permitting controlled water movement.

02

Subsurface drainage

Filters soil around aggregate drains, pipe surrounds and geosynthetic drainage cores.

03

Retaining-wall drainage

Maintains filtration between retained soil and the designed drainage zone behind the wall.

04

Liner protection

Provides a cushioning layer that helps protect geomembranes from puncture during construction and service.

NON-WOVEN GEOTEXTILE PROPERTIES

Specify performance—not GSM alone.

Mass per unit area can help describe a fabric, but it does not define filtration or installation performance by itself. A project specification may also need tensile strength, elongation, puncture resistance, characteristic opening size, permeability and durability.

Park reviews the intended function, soil grading, hydraulic gradient, loading and placement conditions before recommending a non-woven geotextile construction.

NON-WOVEN GEOTEXTILE FAQ

Technical questions, answered clearly.

What is non-woven geotextile fabric?+

Non-woven geotextile is a permeable fabric made from polymer fibres bonded into a stable textile structure. It is commonly specified for filtration, drainage, separation and protection in civil engineering works.

What are drainage geotextile fabrics made from?+

Drainage geotextile fabrics are commonly produced from polypropylene or polyester fibres. The polymer, fibre structure, thickness, opening size and hydraulic properties are selected around the soil and drainage conditions.

How is non-woven geotextile used for drainage?+

The fabric is positioned between soil and a drainage layer, pipe surround or drainage core. It allows controlled water entry while retaining selected soil particles that could otherwise contaminate or block the drainage path.

Can non-woven geotextile be used behind retaining walls?+

A suitable non-woven geotextile can provide filtration between retained soil and drainage aggregate or a drainage composite behind a retaining wall. The complete drainage route and outlet details must form part of the engineered wall design.

What is the difference between woven and non-woven geotextile?+

Woven geotextiles use interlaced yarns and are commonly considered where tensile reinforcement is important. Non-woven geotextiles use bonded fibres and are commonly selected for filtration, drainage, separation and cushioning protection.

Which non-woven geotextile properties should be specified?+

Relevant properties may include mass per unit area, tensile strength, elongation, puncture resistance, characteristic opening size, water permeability and durability. Required values depend on the soil, function and installation conditions.
