12 oz. Non Woven Geotextile Fabric Applications
This heavy-weight 12 oz. non woven geotextile soil stabilization fabric can be used for a wide variety of purposes. It is long lasting, extremely strong, and permeable.
- Soil Stabilization: Reinforce soft soils and improve base strength in road and site development.
- Erosion and sediment control: Prevent sediment displacement and control runoff on slopes, hillsides, and riverbanks.
- Underlayment: Add uniformity and protection beneath roadways, railroads, or sports fields.
- Aggregate Separation: Maintain layer separation without interrupting stormwater flow in layered construction.
- Drainage and Filtration: Allow water to pass through while filtering out fine particulates. Useful in swales, retention systems, and more.
- Geomembrane Support: Acts as a protective layer between liners and subsoil in ponds and containment systems.
12 oz. Non Woven Geotextile Filtration Fabric Installation
The instructions listed below provide a general installation guide for the 12 oz. non woven geotextile for drainage. If available, site and project specific installation instructions should take priority in the installation process.
If you need a general guideline on geotextile installation, keep reading. Exact installation requirements will be reflected in your specific project guidelines. If you need assistance in figuring out which geotextile fabric you need, contact our product specialists for more information.
- Prepare your install area by removing stumps, stones, and other items and pieces of debris that would penetrate the geotextile, making it unusable. If using the non woven 12 oz. geotextile fabric for roadway construction, clear vegetation and roots may also be required.
- Next, level the location, removing soft soil in favor of a higher grade material. Place material in the install area until it is tight and flat against the surface. Usually, fabric is supposed to be overlapped according to site specifications, but generally a minimum overlap or 12" to 18' is the standard.
- Secure this overlap with staples, pins, or other materials that will hold the 12 oz. non woven geotextile in place. As a last measure, backfill or place aggregate over the fabric. Generally, aggregate lift thickness will depend on the specifications of your soil and site, but 6" is the norm.
