Geotextile sheet, also known as geotextile fabric, is a permeable geosynthetic material made of synthetic fibers by needle punching or weaving. Geotextile fabric is one of the new geosynthetic materials. The finished product is cloth-like, with a general width of 4-6 meters and a length of 50-100 meters. Geotextiles are divided into woven geotextiles and non-woven filament geotextiles. Geotextile sheet has excellent filtration, drainage, isolation, reinforcement, anti-seepage, and protection functions, and the geotextile sheet has the characteristics of light weight, high tensile strength, good permeability, high temperature resistance, freezing resistance, aging resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Polyester Geotextile Sheet for Road Projects in Kenya
Our Kenya customer got a road reconstruction and expansion project, starting from the junction of A104 and A109 roads and ending at Machakos branch road, with a total length of 20.151 kilometers. This road is the main traffic road connecting Nairobi the capital of Kenya, to Mombasa Port, the largest port in East Africa. The road project is designed for asphalt pavement. Once completed and open to traffic, the project will effectively solve traffic congestion, which is of great significance for alleviating traffiGec pressure, improving Kenya’s road network system and promoting high-quality economic development along the route.
Geotextile sheet for road project is usually laid under asphalt pavement and above it to prevent cracks in the pavement. When the Pet geotextile fabric laid in the road layer and between the asphalt layer, fastening during the Geotextile fabric focuses on relying on its own strength to increase the strength of all the road, so that the road can limit cracks, the key role is to limit the occurrence and expansion of cracks, detailed in the following aspects: When the lower layer cracks, Geotextile sheet plays the role of stress disappearance, and does not make the crack reflected to the surface.
PET geotextile fabric has sufficient strength, not because of the lower management of the cause of conflict, and caused a small hole, prevent a strong problem and be broken and broken; The excellent strength of Geotextile Road Fabric guarantees that it will not be pierced by the sharp objects at the bottom, and the Geotextile Road Fabric has a low elongation, so that the cracks at the bottom have a limited effect. Geotextile road fabric and asphalt laid on the surface of the fusion, has excellent waterproof effect, the geotextile sheet can prevent road cracks later rain penetration of the lower layer to speed up the expansion of cracks.
Kenya client contacted us through this website, we communicated requirements and engineering characteristics of samples. After we tested the samples in our laboratory. The customer sample is PET Nonwoven geotextile sheet, its tension for 14 kn/m, weighs 200 g/m2, we sent all test report and test experiment process video together to clients, clients were very satisfied with our products. They placed the order of the first batch of purchasing 2 *40HQ container,100000 square meters.
After receiving the geotextile sheet goods, the customer gave us a high evaluation on our products, and the test result exceeded their target value. In terms of construction, our business also asked the installation engineer to give video guide to the customer.
Polyester geotextile road fabric has the functions of water permeability, isolation, filtration, drainage and reinforcement. It can adapt to uneven base, can resist the destruction of external construction forces, can continue to maintain the original function under long-term load. And the geotextile fabric has the ability to resist ultraviolet and high temperature up to 230℃, it can still maintain the structure integrity and the original physical role.
Geotextile Sheet Application
Protective engineering. polyester geotextile road fabric can spread more concentrated stress, and stress can be from one object to another. The stress can prevent the soil from damage, external force plays a protective role. The geotextile fabric can be used in river regulation, revetment, bottom protection engineering, and coast moisture proof, road slope protection engineering, etc.
Road construction. The geotextile fabric can improve the smoothness of the road surface, and prevent reflection crack and play the role of waterproof layer. When laid under the base and surface layer between the laying of geotextile filament, it can prevent the base crack from reflection to the surface layer, then it plays the role of waterproof layer. To prevent reflective cracks, a special highway geotextile was added between the asphalt overlay and the old cement silicon pavement. Using reinforced synchronous gravel layer and sealing Geotextile Road Fabric laid method, can cover cracks, prevent leakage, because Geotextile Road Fabric is used for roadbed and deal with the original pavement materials, can reduce the cracks of gravel packing layer, the pavement structure stability and separation and gravel packing layer, can prolong the service life of pavement.
Characteristics of Geottextile Sheet
High strength. Due to the use of synthetic fiber, in the dry and wet state can maintain sufficient strength and elongation. Corrosion resistances. The geotextile sheet can be long-term corrosion resistance to different PH soil and water.
Good permeability in the fiber gap, so there is a fair permeability. Mild anti-microbial property is not damaged to microorganisms and moth.
The construction is convenient, because the material is light and soft, so the transportation, laying, construction is convenient.
Joint method of polyester filament geotextile. The geotextile sheet can be commonly used lap, suture and welding method, polyester filament geotextile suture and welding width is generally more than 10 cm, and lap width is generally more than 20 cm. Filament geotextiles fabric must overlap not less than 15 cm before overlapping. Stitches should be at least 25mm away from the selvage. Any “missing stitches” in the stitched geotextile shall be re-sewn in the affected area.
