Geotextile Protection Layer for Geomembrane

Author: Evan Cornelius • 2 June 2022 • 1 Minute Read • Article

Thanks to its good puncture resistance, non-woven geotextile is often used as a geotextile protection layer for geomembrane. This keeps the geomembrane in good condition so it continues to function as a waterproof layer.

The parameters for geotextile as a protection layer according to the International Geosynthetics Society are as follows:

IGS parameters for geotextile protection layer over geomembrane

The CBR Puncture parameter describes the geotextile’s resistance to puncture by surrounding materials, so the CBR Puncture Resistance value must follow the applicable standard.

Petra Nusa Elshada (PNE) has supplied a lot of geotextile for geomembrane protection layers. Virofelt, one of our geotextile products, has been widely used in the field as a protection layer with tested and proven results.
