Geotextiles are permeable fabrics consisting mainly of materials such as polypropylene and polyester. Depending on their manufacturing method, they may be woven or non woven, based upon the type of application they are intended for. Woven and non woven fabrics have different production methods. While non woven geotextile fabrics comprise fibres, filaments or other elements that are joined together randomly, in the case of woven fabrics, these yarns, fibres or filaments are intertwined. In this new post, we will focus on the features of applications of woven geotextile fabrics.

Woven geotextile fabrics are defined as any material manufactured by intertwining two or more yarns, fibres, filaments, strips or other elements, usually at right angles, i.e., both lengthwise and crosswise, by means of a textile process. These fabrics are mainly applied in the construction sector. This is therefore the simplest type of fabric manufacturing, also known as the “simple pattern” method, which results in a flat structure.

Woven geotextile fabrics provide biaxial resistance, i.e., in the same direction as they were manufactured.
