"Perhaps the largest single potential application area for any geosynthetic material is highway separation. Separation is indeed the most underestimated of all geosynthetic functions."

Separation: Perhaps the most underestimated geotextile function, GFR January 1994

Geotextiles
Woven Geotextiles For Stabilization & Separation
 US Fabrics offers cost-effective woven geotextiles made from polypropylene slit film yarns. These ground stabilization geotextiles, sometimes known as Driveway Fabric, have high tensile strength at low elongations. They reduce maintenance costs and improve the performance of paved and unpaved surfaces. Woven geotextiles used for ground stabilization minimize rutting and prevent intermixing of the aggregate with the soft soils below. Think of woven geotextiles as affordable insurance for your aggregate. They save time and money by reducing or eliminating the need for additional rock.
Woven geotextiles are placed between the aggregate and the subgrade to stabilize the soil, preserve the aggregate and reinforce the surrounding soil. They will also keep mud below the rock from 'pumping' up and help keep cleanup to a minimum.

"The use of a geotextile separator is, in my opinion, the best bang for the buck a designer can achieve with a geosynthetic in a paved or unpaved roadway."
