What is Geotextile?

Definition and Function

Geotextile is a synthetic material specifically designed for civil engineering applications. It has multiple functions, including improving soil mechanical properties, enhancing soil stability, and providing effective drainage and filtration. Jiangsu Saide Machinery Co., Ltd. produces Geotextile that performs excellently in various engineering scenarios, meeting the needs of different application contexts.

Types and Characteristics

Geotextile mainly comes in two types: short fiber needle-punched nonwoven Geotextile and split film long filament woven Geotextile. Short fiber needle-punched nonwoven Geotextile has excellent filtration and drainage performance, suitable for engineering scenarios requiring filtration and drainage. Split film long filament woven Geotextile has higher tensile strength and durability, suitable for engineering scenarios requiring reinforcement and strengthening.

Application Scenarios

Geotext is widely used in railways, highways, sports venues, embankments, hydraulic structures, test tunnels, coastal mudflats, land reclamation, environmental protection, and other engineering projects. In these application scenarios, Geotext can effectively improve soil mechanical properties and enhance the stability and safety of the project.

The Role of Geotextile in Embankments and Hydraulic Structures

Preventing Soil Erosion

In embankments and hydraulic structures, Geotextile can effectively prevent soil erosion, stopping soil particles from being washed away by water flow. Through its excellent filtration performance, Geotextile can retain soil particles while allowing water to pass through, maintaining soil stability.

Forming Drainage Channels

The water-guiding performance of Geotextile enables it to form drainage channels within the soil, expelling excess liquid and gas. This helps reduce water pressure in the soil, preventing soil liquefaction and landslides, thereby enhancing the stability of embankments and hydraulic structures.

Enhancing Soil Tensile Strength

Geotextile can enhance the tensile strength and deformation resistance of the soil, preventing soil damage caused by external forces. Through its high tensile strength and durability, Geotextile can effectively disperse, transmit, or decompose concentrated stresses, improving the overall stability of the structure.

How to Evaluate the Durability and Corrosion Resistance of Jiangsu Saide Machinery Co., Ltd. Geotextile

Material Selection

Jiangsu Saide Machinery Co., Ltd. uses high-quality polypropylene or polyester fibers as raw materials, which have excellent physical and chemical properties. Polypropylene and polyester fibers have good chemical stability, resisting acid and alkali corrosion, ensuring the long-term use of Geotextile in various chemical environments.

Manufacturing Process

The company uses advanced manufacturing processes to ensure that Geotextile maintains uniform thickness and density during production. This not only improves the overall durability of Geotextile but also ensures its stable performance in different environmental conditions. Advanced manufacturing processes also include precise temperature and pressure control to ensure the quality of Geotextile.

Performance Testing

Jiangsu Saide Machinery Co., Ltd. conducts a series of rigorous performance tests to evaluate the durability of Geotextile under different conditions. These tests include tensile strength tests, tear strength tests, and fatigue tests. Through these tests, the company ensures that its produced Geotextile has excellent performance and reliability in actual applications.

Anti-oxidation and Biological Stability

Polypropylene and polyester fibers have excellent anti-oxidation properties, maintaining stability for a long time when exposed to sunlight and air, preventing aging and degradation. Additionally, Geotextile has good biological stability, resisting insect damage and microbial erosion, ensuring its long-term use in natural environments. These characteristics make the Geotextile produced by Jiangsu Saide Machinery Co., Ltd. perform excellently in various engineering applications, meeting the needs of different scenarios.
