Woven Geotextile: Uses and Advantages
First, let’s look at the word Geosynthetics, which combines two words: Geo (earth) and Synthetic (man-made). Geosynthetics are man-made materials widely used in construction, and woven polypropylene geotextile is one of the most common.
Geosynthetics come in several forms, one of which is geotextile. A geotextile is a thin, flexible, porous sheet. Geotextiles are divided into two types, Woven Geotextile & Non-Woven Geotextile, and in this article we will discuss woven geotextile.
Woven geotextile is a sheet, usually black, woven like sack fabric from polypropylene (PP) or polyester. It is used in construction for separation, filtration, reinforcement and protection.

Geogrid Definition and Uses
By definition, a geogrid is a construction material used as reinforcement. Its properties differ somewhat from geotextile materials, even though both serve as reinforcement. We often see geotextiles used in construction, and geogrids are in fact just as commonly used. Geogrids are made by sheet extrusion, stitching, heating and stretching. Geogrids also have high tensile […]
What Is Geogrid? Definition, Types and Functions
What is geogrid? Geogrid is a geosynthetic product made from polyester, polypropylene or polyethylene, produced by bonding a grid structure through extruding, punching, heating, longitudinal stretching and transverse stretching. Geogrid has large apertures and is always used in some form of reinforcement. It is generally used for subgrade improvement, embankment reinforcement, landslide slope repair, and […]
Blue Pond Liner: Geomembrane Color Benefits
What Is a Blue Pond Liner or Blue Waterproof Liner? A Blue Pond Liner is a type of geomembrane specially manufactured in blue. This geomembrane functions like a standard geomembrane, but can enhance the aesthetic value of infrastructure compared with a standard geomembrane. Blue is chosen to improve visual appeal when the geomembrane is under […]
