Geoxtextile fabrics are renowned for providing highly effective, proven performance in transportation, environmental, construction and site development and storm water and erosion control needs.
Wallbarn has a huge variety of geotextiles which can be used to aid in reinforcing soils used for the construction of embankments, slopes and retaining structures by acting as a highly effective aid against the devastating effects of excess storm water and rain fall.
Whether it’s an embankment over soft soils, a highway slope, or a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall, Wallbarn will be able to work closely with you to find the most effective, long lasting solution resulting in both time and money being saved.
Geotextiles at Work
Below are some examples of geotextile being used in a “French Drain”, an underground perforated pipe which is wrapped in geotextile to prevent the holes clogging up. The water drains through the soil and into the perforations and into the pipe, which is laid to a fall to allow the water to run away. The area around the pipe is filled with stones or gravel to improve the drainage and the junction between the stones and the soil is covered with geotextile to stop the soil intermingling with the stones over time.
