Resistance to biological and chemical exposure.
Application:
The geotextile casing is used in the construction of textile-sand piles to strengthen the weak foundations of roads and railways. For their part, the piles perceive the main part of the operational load and transfer it to the strong layers of the base soil. Due to the water permeability of the casing itself and coarse aggregate, the piles also provide vertical drainage, thereby accelerating the consolidation of the weak base and hardening the weak soils in the inter-pile space.
