78%What is GEO-TEXTILES ?

• Application of Geo-Textiles & Different Types of GEO-TEXTILES– Separation– Filtration– Drainage– River Bank Protection– Coastal Protection– Reservoirs and Lakes– Embankments– Soil Erosion Controls– Railway Track Construction

TYPE of GEO-TEXTILES

WHY GEO-TEXTILES USED ?

In Roads

In Railway Tracks

GeoTextiles serve as barrier and filtration materials permanently separating soil from water and ultimately prevent water pressure build-up, thereby preventing the water's flow from causing erosion.

WHY GEO-TEXTILES USED ?

HOW GEO-TEXTILES APPLIED ?

How GEO-TEXTILES are Manufactured ?

• To manufacture Geo Textiles, most widely technique used is “Needle Punching”.

• Needle punching is the method of consolidation of webs by the repeated insertion of barbed needles into the fibrous web.

• The fibres or filaments are reoriented into the vertical plane in a way that tufts or stitching channels are formed.

Needle Punching Process
