Road geotextile. Geotextile production

Today, no construction site of a modern road facility can do without the use of geosynthetics.

When implementing such projects, the most important is road geotextile, for the production of which high-quality polymer fibers are used. The production of geotextile uses the latest equipment with the application of super modern unique fixation technologies. Before the geotextile reaches the consumer, it undergoes thorough testing and certification taking into account existing norms and standards. In the Ukrainian market, the most well-known manufacturers of geotextile are Russian JSC "Komitex" (typar) and "Sibur-Geotextile" (Dornit).

Characteristics

Road geotextile does not absorb ground water, does not deteriorate or decompose under the influence of acidic-alkaline environment, which is typical for practically every type of soil. Thanks to its technical characteristics, the material is optimal for continuous use during the construction of railways and highways, airport runways, and bridges, tram tracks, and other objects of industrial and civil purposes. An important function entrusted to geotextile is to increase the strength of road surfaces. Geotextile effectively reinforces the structure, strengthening it and preventing crack formation. As a result, the service life significantly increases, and the cost of current maintenance becomes minimal.

Advantages

An important advantage of using geotextile in road construction is the reduction in the amount of necessary building materials for the construction of the object, labor resources, and time. By minimizing the thickness of the layers of the "road cake," the material intensity of the created structure is significantly reduced, and accordingly the volume of work. Road construction becomes cheaper for the contractor, and the constant technical maintenance of the road structure usually does not require large financial investments. Road geotextile is convenient in storage, transportation, storage, and laying. All this does not require highly qualified personnel, special devices, or specialized transport. This material has proven itself well, which has led to a boom in its application.
