Product Description:

NTPEP Certified Geotextile Fabrics are used when NTPEP Geotextile Fabric is required by the State. There are a variety of applications for geotextiles; however, most fall under the broad umbrella for erosion control, soil stabilization and drainage. There is a choice between woven and non-woven geotextiles, and each has an advantage, but the deciding factor depends on your project.

Needle Punched Non-Woven Geotextile Fabrics have a felt-like consistency, combine strength and water flow and are probably the most commonly known geotextile. The main functions for these products are filtration and separation. The fabrics are strong but permeable, allowing for varied uses. The most common nonwoven is a needle-punched product. They get their name from a unique manufacturing process.  Staple fibers or continuous filaments are bonded by mechanically entangling the fibers with barbed needles. It looks and feels like black felt. After being cut and opened, filaments of polypropylene are laid into a web. They then pass through thousands of needles that penetrate and orient the fibers, locking them with one another. With superior filtration and hydraulic conductivity characteristics, needle punched Non-Woven Geotextile Fabrics are among the most versatile types of geotextiles.

The Non-Woven Geotextile is a polypropylene, needle punched fabric engineered for strength and permeability. Made in several different weights and filtration levels, these geotextiles are an ideal solution for separation, drainage, sediment control, cushioning, and various other construction and road repair applications. Nonwoven fabrics are high in resistance to UV rays, rot, and degradation. Our Non-Woven Geotextiles Fabrics are designed to be used to improve performance and reduce costs of subsurface drains, roadways, railroads, dams, landfills and more. Available in varying weights and thicknesses, the fabrics are strong but permeable, allowing for varied uses.

Non-Woven Fabrics are commonly used as a separator between subsoil and rock rip rap, and they also are used to separate soils and sized stone in many ground-level and subsurface drainage applications. Non-woven geotextile fabrics have a random, three-dimensional pore structure and are highly water permeable, as is necessary for many geotextile ends uses. Nonwoven filtration examples include wrapping geotextile around a pipe or enclosing stone with a geotextile to create a system that allows water to pass but keeps soil from infiltrating and clogging the system. These are often referred to as french drains, trench drains or retaining wall drains.

Non Wovens Fabrics can also be used in light to medium separation applications. These include paver patios or walkways; outdoor areas where cows or horses exercise to prevent mud; stream crossings in light traffic areas; or under playground mulch. They are also popular for separation and drainage under athletic field installations.

A wide range of fabric weights ranging from 3.1oz. to over 16 oz. is offered to meet the requirements of various non-woven applications. Custom sizes are available with all our woven and non-woven geotextile fabrics.
