Geotextiles provide layers of permeable technical fabric, which give mechanical support in the construction of roads, car parks and landfills, and in the stabilisation of slopes and embankments.

In geotechnical applications, geotextiles can be installed for reinforcement of earth or turf, separation of substrates and construction materials, and stabilisation of slopes and embankments.

In filtration and drainage applications, in particular in SUDS developments, they allow for the effective dispersion and treatment of stormwater and runoff water.

In construction applications, they can be used for liner protection and root containment.

These porous geosynthetics are made from woven, non-woven or needle-punched polymers – polypropylene, polyester or polyethylene – which are durable and provide reliable performance and structure.

Alternatively biodegradable materials like coir and jute are useful for temporary stabilisation and vegetative establishment in natural habitats.

Associated products include environmental / containment membranes, geogrids, and geocomposite drains.
