Such a popular material as geotextiles today was developed in the seventies of the last century, but it received widely wide application relatively recently. It is a non -woven material consisting of pure polypropylene. There is also its weaned version, which is called geothkani.
The most practical for construction, experts consider hydro -caressed material, since it is moisture resistant, resistant to aggressive chemical media, is not amenable to rot, is not affected by mold and fungi, and resistant to mechanical stress. Therefore, such material is very durable, reliable, durable, useful and promising.
Considering the operational characteristics of geotextiles, it should be noted that such material in appearance is very similar to a polymer canvas. It is easy to lay it, and thanks to the lightness and low weight of rolls, you can significantly reduce the costs not transportation and storage. It should be added to this that geotextiles are easily processed using ordinary tools.
The use of geotextiles is quite diverse. Such material can be used as a filter, since it does not miss even the smallest parts of the soil, which prevents clogging. Thanks to the optimal combination of various characteristics, geotextiles can be used in the construction of road and anti -erosive structures of various profiles, to strengthen coastal lines and embankments. Such material is very successful in the process of building foundations for various purposes and retaining walls, as well as in landscape design for the arrangement of artificial reservoirs, flower beds and flower beds. Use geotextiles when laying paving slabs.
During the manufacture of the drainage system, this material is wrapped with perforated pipes, which allows you to perfectly protect its holes from pollution, since it is great for these purposes. Sometimes, using geotextiles, you can make drainage even without using pipes. For this, in addition to such material, crushed stone of a large fraction is used.
During the construction of various basements and tunnels, geotextiles are also used to protect waterproofing. This can significantly reduce the cost of work and increase the durability of coatings.
