Geotextile Membrane

Geotextile membrane is most commonly used for separation, filtration, reinforcement, protection and drainage.

Separation Function of Geotextile Membrane

Geotextile membranes can be used to separate two different types of soil. In addition to preventing the ground from becoming uneven and sinking, geotextile membranes also prevent smaller particles of finer materials from filtering into the coarser layers, preventing drainage channels between the coarser materials from being blocked allowing water to seep in soil, reducing the likelihood of flooding and standing water.

Filteration Function of Geotextile Membrane

Geotextile membranes can be used as a filtration mechanism. When a geotextile membrane is used, water will pass through the membrane but will block any other debris or larger particles from entering the drainage system.
In addition, geomembranes can facilitate lateral flow of runoff and drainage - as groundwater rises, the membrane dissipates kinetic energy and it flows laterally along the membrane.

Reinforcement Function of Geotextile Membrane

Geotextile membranes are commonly used as reinforcements in construction and engineering projects. Woven geotextiles are ideal for improving foundation stability and foundation reinforcement because of their high tensile strength.
Geotextiles are also commonly used to reinforce embankments and roads built on unstable soils, as they allow steeper embankments to be built without fear of them collapsing.

Protection Function of Geotextile Membrane

Geotextile membranes can also be used to prevent erosion, puncture resistance, etc. On the coast, geomembranes are used between coastal defense projects and the beach material itself to prevent erosion. A strong and robust geotextile material is required to ensure that coastal defense projects such as rippers or gabions will not tear the material, but it must still be permeable to allow drainage.

Geotextile membranes can also be used to protect plants - the membrane allows the plants to grow while preventing any other weeds from growing around them. This removes competition and prevents essential nutrients from being taken up by unwanted plants.

These membranes can also be used in situations where a barrier is required to contain substances, such as in landfills to prevent hazardous materials from contaminating the area or to contain green roofs to prevent proliferation. These membranes are relatively strong, but still allow filtered water to enter underground or drainage systems.

Drainage Function of Geotextile Membrane

Geotextile membranes are also used in a wide range of drainage works, such as seepage channels and land drains. They are often used to line seepage or land drain holes prior to inserting elements to prevent any silt or debris from entering the seepage, extending their useful life by preventing blockages from occurring.

Geotextile membranes can also be used to wrap land drains and perforated pipes in the same way that prevents large chunks of silt or debris from entering the drainage system and causing blockages, but in some cases still allowing fine particles to pass through.
