Geotextile Separator or Stabilizer for Road Construction
Geotextile has been widely applied in road construction to make construction costs more economical. Used as a geotextile separator or stabilizer, it can reduce aggregate thickness and extend the service life of the road. A single layer of geotextile can typically save 1/3 of the aggregate base thickness for roads on soft to medium subgrade […]
