Woven Geotextile Fabric
Woven Geotextiles
Woven geotextile fabric and geo textile fabric are high-strength materials designed for soil stabilization and erosion control. One Clarion offers woven geotextiles made from polypropylene, engineered for demanding applications such as road construction, pavement support, railroad stabilization, structural reinforcement, and rip rap containment.

Woven Geotextile Fabric Product Details
Woven geotextile fabric is manufactured by weaving polypropylene fibers into a stable, high-strength material. This type of geo textile fabric is used to reinforce soil, control drainage, and prevent erosion.
One Clarion offers three grades of woven geotextile fabric to match your project needs. The best fabric choice depends on factors such as load requirements, soil conditions, and water flow.
For high-pressure or load-bearing applications, choose a woven geotextile fabric with higher grab tensile strength. For sites with significant water flow, a more open weave promotes drainage. See our other Erosion Control Products.

Woven Geotextile Fabric Terms
| Grab Tenstile Strength and Elongation: | Indicators of the breaking load of the fabric |
|---|---|
| Weight: | The number of ounces per square yard |
| Trapezoid Tear Strength and Puncture Resistance: | Methods for measuring the strength of the fabric under tension or use. |
| Permittivity and Permeability: | Means of measuring the rate of water flow through the fabric. |
| A.O.S. ( Apparent Opening Size): | Geotextile fabrics with a higher percentage of open area are less likely to clog. The larger the openings in the weave pattern, the faster the woven geotextile fabric can drain. |
Woven Geotextiles for Road Construction
Woven geotextiles have many common uses, and one of the most popular is ground road stabilization. Most road construction is completed with a sub grade, an aggregate, and then pavement. Woven geotextile provides a layer of support between the sub grade and the aggregate. Water seeping through wont affect the aggregate. It stays in place and prevents pockets of space. This increases the overall strength of the road.
Woven geotextile fabric is also used in erosion control, railroad support, ground stabilization, and rip rap support. Proper installation and application of the woven geotextile fabric will extend the usable life span of roads or other project applications.

Woven Geotextile Fabric Frequently Asked Questions
Woven geotextile fabrics are categorized by their grab tensile strength rating. As an example, woven 150 means woven filter fabric with a grab tensile strength of 150 pounds.
Woven Geotextiles are woven with industrial looms in a consistently applied pattern for strength and drainage.
