Geotextile Applications


Geomembrane Cushion

In any landfill project, properly protecting the geomembrane from tearing or puncturing during construction is paramount. Research indicates that a properly selected nonwoven, needle-punched geotextile cushion installed above and/or below the geomembrane can effectively protect it from construction and operational damage.

US Fabrics will not attempt to recommend which nonwoven geotextile should be used for a specific application. Please refer to the project specifications. The Geosynthetic Research Institute (GRI) has developed a method for choosing the correct geotextile and simplified, conservative design charts exist for quickly determining the correct geotextile. These charts list typical applications and important factors for consideration such as load and subgrade soil conditions.

In most cases, a heavyweight (10 oz or higher) nonwoven geotextile is specified. Please click on the link below to visit the heavyweight nonwoven product section of our website. Always verify your selection by checking the specifications or consulting with the project engineer.
