Woven Geotextiles

Woven geotextiles are engineered fabrics made by interlacing synthetic fibers—typically polypropylene or polyester—into a stable, fabric structure. They are primarily used in site construction for soil separation, reinforcement, and load distribution. There are two main types: slit tape wovens and woven monofilaments. Slit tape wovens are made from flat, ribbon-like tapes and are valued for their high tensile strength and cost-effectiveness, making them ideal for basic separation in applications like haul roads and parking lots. However, they have lower permeability and are less suited for filtration. In contrast, woven monofilaments are constructed from single continuous filaments, offering superior filtration, drainage, and resistance to clogging. These are preferred in applications where both strength and hydraulic performance are critical, such as drainage systems and erosion control. Both types are durable, UV-resistant, and chemically inert, with the choice depending on the specific performance needs of the project.
