Geotextiles are widely used in various civil engineering, environmental engineering and land improvement projects.

Eight main application scenarios of geotextiles

Road and railway engineering: Geotextiles can be used for the reinforcement of road bases and embankments to improve the stability and bearing capacity of the soil. They also serve as a drainage layer, helping to drain water and prevent moisture damage to the subgrade.

Water conservancy projects: In water conservancy projects such as embankments, dams and canals, geotextiles can be used to reinforce soil structures, filter water flow, slow down water flow velocity, and control water flow direction to prevent soil erosion and erosion.

Coastal Engineering: Geotextiles can be used in coastal protection projects, such as seawalls, artificial beaches, beach erosion control, etc. They stop wave erosion and sediment loss, protecting shoreline stability.

Landfills: In landfills, geotextiles are used as an isolation layer to prevent leakage of waste and water penetration into groundwater, playing a role in environmental protection.

Mining engineering: In mining engineering, geotextiles can be used for the anti-seepage layer of tailings dams, the isolation layer of stockyards, and soil restoration and plant ecological restoration projects.

Sewage treatment plants: Geotextiles can be used in sludge drying beds and sludge ponds in sewage treatment plants to control sludge infiltration and pollution spread and improve treatment efficiency.

Ground Improvement: Geotextiles can be used in land improvement projects such as settlement control, dynamic compaction reinforcement, etc. They can effectively distribute loads, improve the stability of soil, and are used for the reinforcement and reinforcement of building foundations and road foundations.

Vegetation protection and greening projects: Geotextiles can be used in vegetation protection and greening projects, as a separation layer of planting media, to prevent soil erosion and the growth of plant roots.

In conclusion, geotextiles are widely used in various civil engineering and environmental engineering for reinforcement, filtration, separation, isolation and protection to improve the safety, stability and sustainability of the project.
