Orange Warning Barrier / Contamination Barrier

US Fabrics offers two types of high visibility orange geotextiles for use as a warning barrier or contamination barrier.

US 65HVO Woven Orange Warning Barrier / Contamination Barrier

US 65HVO is a woven, polypropylene, plain weave, warning barrier / contamination barrier geotextile consisting of natural fibers in one direction and orange in the other. US 65HVO orange warning barrier / contamination barrier also serves as a light separator, while allowing water to pass and limiting particle transition from the contaminated substrate to the clean soils above. In addition, “Do Not Dig” can be printed on the US 65HVO in English and Spanish in 8" high letters every 8 foot of material to assure future excavations do not result in ruptured pipes or tragic loss of life.

US 160NW-HVO Nonwoven Orange Warning Barrier / Contamination Barrier

US 160NW-HVO is a nonwoven, needle-punched, orange warning barrier / contamination barrier geotextile. US 160NW-HVO orange warning barrier / contamination barrier offers added tensile strength and significantly higher flow rate than our US 65HVO. Additionally, it offers a deeper orange color when compared to US 65HVO. US 160NW-HVO meets AASHTO Class 2 for separation/stabilization applications and has a water flow rate of 110 gal/min/sf.

When the decision is made to leave contaminated soils intact on a remediation site, an orange geotextile contamination barrier can be placed on the contaminated substrate and clean, new soils placed on top. Often excavation of new sites brings the discovery of archeological remains. An orange warning barrier geotextile allows the work to continue by providing a way to leave the materials undisturbed, as well as prevent future excavation from destroying the historical find.

In situations where critical or dangerous structures exist such as utilities, US Fabrics High Visibility Orange warning barrier / contamination barrier geotextiles can be paired with our US GP product. US GP is a heavy-duty extruded polymer grid designed to protect and reinforce grassed areas subject to vehicle traffic. It will work with an imposed loading of up to 8 tons per axle. It offers a physical impediment to backhoes and light excavation machinery. Whether you need a contamination barrier, a warning barrier or an archeological delineation barrier, US Fabrics’ High Visibility Orange geotextiles are a solution.
