Geo Fabric for Retaining Walls
1. Enhance stability: Geo Fabric can disperse the soil pressure borne by the wall, reduce the risk of settlement, and make the retaining wall more stable.
2. Soil erosion prevention: Its tight structure can prevent fine soil particles from being washed away by water, protecting the wall foundation from erosion.
3. Good permeability: allowing water to penetrate and be discharged, avoiding the accumulation of water and increasing the burden on the wall, extending its service life.
4. Convenient construction: Lightweight texture, simple laying, can accelerate construction progress and reduce installation difficulty.
5. Good economy: Strong durability, reduced maintenance costs in the later stage, and higher cost-effectiveness for long-term use.
Products Introduction：
Geo Fabric for Retaining Walls is a specialized synthetic material designed to enhance the performance and longevity of retaining wall structures. Made from high-quality polypropylene or polyester fibers, it features a porous, woven or non-woven structure that combines strength with permeability. This innovative material acts as a critical barrier and reinforcement component, working in tandem with other retaining wall elements to address key challenges like soil erosion, pressure distribution, and drainage. Whether used in residential, commercial, or civil engineering projects, it provides essential support to ensure retaining walls remain stable and functional over time.
Product Features：
1.High Tensile Strength: The fabric is engineered to withstand significant pulling forces, enabling it to effectively distribute soil pressure across the retaining wall. This strength prevents the wall from shifting or collapsing under heavy loads, even in areas with loose or unstable soil.
2.Excellent Permeability: Its porous design allows water to pass through freely, preventing the buildup of hydrostatic pressure behind the wall. By facilitating proper drainage, it reduces the risk of water-related damage, such as cracks or bulging caused by trapped moisture.
3.Soil Separation Capability: It acts as a barrier between different soil layers, preventing the mixing of fine-grained and coarse-grained soils. This separation maintains the integrity of the backfill material, ensuring optimal drainage and reducing the likelihood of soil erosion.
4.Resistance to Environmental Factors: The material is resistant to UV radiation, chemicals, and biological degradation, making it suitable for long-term use in various outdoor environments. It can withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions, including extreme temperatures and heavy rainfall, without losing its structural properties.
5.Easy Installation: Lightweight and flexible, Geo Fabric for Retaining Walls is simple to handle and 铺设 (install). It can be cut to fit the specific dimensions of the retaining wall project, minimizing waste and reducing installation time and labor costs.
