5 Facts To Know About Using A Geotextile Soil Stabilizer

11/5/2021

 
​Soil stabilizers are used in various engineering works to increase the stability or strength of the soil. One type of soil stabilization technique is using a geotextile soil stabilizer.
What Is A Geotextile Soil Stabilizer?
Every geotextile soil stabilizer is made of a material that helps provide erosion control, aid in drainage, and increase soil stability. A geotextile strengthens the soil while also reducing erosion. Before selecting a geotextile soil stabilizer, here are 5 facts you need to know. 

1. Choose From 2 Main Types
Geotextile soil stabilizers range in size and thickness and come in 2 types, woven and nonwoven. Woven are made by weaving together polypropylene or polyester fibers. Nonwoven geotextiles are needle punched and heat set. Woven are primarily used for separation and reinforcement, while nonwoven geotextiles are used for drainage and filtration.  

2. Geotextile Soil Stabilizers Perform Many Functions
Geotextiles are commonly used for erosion control. They can mitigate the top layer of soil from being removed by water and rain. The main functions of geotextiles are:
  • Separation 
  • Filtration
  • Drainage  
  • Reinforcement
  • Protection

3. Geotextiles Can Be Expensive
Each geotextile soil stabilizer needs to be laid out by workers. This mechanical process can be labor-intensive and lead to significant expenses for a project. The method of laying out geotextiles can be time-consuming, leading to delays in construction. 

4. Geotextiles Work Well With Polymer Soil Stabilizers
When geotextiles are utilized with polymers, they become exponentially more effective in controlling erosion. These products together can create a highly erosion-resistant surface for construction and roads. Recent studies show positive results in effective erosion and sediment control when geotextiles are used with polymer soil stabilizers. 

5. Best Suited For Certain Industries
Many civil construction projects rely on geotextiles for soil stabilization, such as landfills, steepened slopes, embankments, and drainage structures. Geotextile soil stabilizers help make construction possible on soil that was not suitable to build on. However, due to the high cost of these products, geotextiles are not generally used for road construction, especially roadways with heavy load applications.
