Geo Fabric is a synthetic material made from woven or non-woven polypropylene or polyester fibers. Geo Fabric is strong, durable, and resistant to environmental factors like moisture, UV rays, and chemicals.

Uses of Geo Fabric

Separation and Stabilization

• Commonly used to separate different layers of materials (such as soil and aggregate) in construction and landscaping. For example, when installing paving, roads, or driveways, Geo Fabric prevents the mixing of the sub-base and soil, which helps to maintain the integrity and strength of the surface.

Erosion Control

• Widely used in erosion control applications to prevent soil erosion caused by water or wind.

Drainage Systems

• Often used in drainage systems to provide filtration and prevent clogging.

Road Construction

• In road construction, it is used as a reinforcement material to improve the strength and durability of the road surface. It helps to distribute loads evenly and reduces road surface cracking and settling by stabilizing the underlying soil or subgrade.

Retaining Walls

• Used in the construction of retaining walls to prevent soil movement and maintain the structural integrity of the wall. It helps to separate the soil from the base material and also provides drainage to reduce the hydrostatic pressure behind the wall.

Landfill and Waste Management

• Used in landfill construction as a separation layer between the waste and the underlying soil. It prevents contaminants from leaching into the environment and allows water to drain effectively, reducing the buildup of excess water within the landfill.

Landscaping and Garden Projects

• Commonly used in landscaping to prevent weed growth and provide better soil drainage. It is used under mulch, gravel, or soil in garden beds and flower beds to separate the soil from the decorative materials, ensuring proper air and water circulation while blocking weed growth.

Concrete Reinforcement

• In some cases, Geo Fabric is used as an added reinforcement material in concrete installations, such as under foundations or slabs. It can provide additional support and stability to the concrete, preventing cracking and improving its longevity.

How to Use Geo Fabric

Preparation

First, clear the area where the Geo Fabric will be applied. For applications like road construction or landscaping, make sure the surface is level and free from large debris or rocks.

Lay the Fabric

Unroll the Geo Fabric over the surface where it is to be applied. The fabric should be laid flat, without wrinkles, and should overlap the edges by a few inches to ensure continuous coverage.

Cut to Fit

Geo Fabric can be cut to size to fit specific areas, such as around pipes or corners, using scissors or a utility knife. Make sure the fabric is large enough to cover the intended area and leave room for overlap.

Cover the Fabric

Once the Geo Fabric is laid, cover it with the appropriate materials, such as gravel, soil, or aggregate, depending on the application. For example, in drainage applications, cover the fabric with gravel or crushed rock to allow water to pass through while keeping soil or debris from entering.

Compaction

After covering with materials, compact the surface if necessary. This is particularly important for applications like roads or driveways, where compaction ensures a stable surface.

Maintenance

Geo Fabric generally requires little maintenance once it’s in place, but it should be checked periodically for any damage or displacement. If used for erosion control or drainage, ensure that water flow is not obstructed by sediment buildup.

Benefits of Geo Fabric

Improved Stability -  Geo Fabric helps to stabilize surfaces, reduce settlement, and prevent shifting in construction projects such as roads, driveways, and retaining walls.

Durability - Geo Fabric is resistant to environmental factors such as UV rays, water, and chemicals, making it a long-lasting solution for various applications.

Erosion Prevention - It effectively prevents soil erosion, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall or slope instability.

Drainage Enhancement: Geo Fabric allows for the effective filtration and movement of water, improving the efficiency of drainage systems.

Cost-Effective - By improving the longevity of surfaces and reducing the need for maintenance or additional materials, Geo Fabric can save costs in construction and landscaping projects.

Weed Control: It prevents the growth of weeds in garden beds, landscaping, and other areas, reducing the need for herbicides or constant maintenance.
