Non-Woven Geotextile Membrane

Geotextiles designed to provide long lasting performance for various applications.


What is a non-woven geotextile membrane?

A non-woven geotextile membrane is a special type of fabric used in construction to help with filtration, drainage, separation, and protection. Unlike woven fabrics, it's made by bonding fibres together, creating a material that lets water pass through while keeping soil in place. 

Key uses include: 

●     Filtration: Keeps drainage systems clear by allowing water through but blocking soil.

●     Separation: Stops soil layers from mixing, perfect for construction projects like roads.

●     Protection: Shields membranes, such as those in landfills, from damage.

●     Drainage: Helps manage water flow in areas like retaining walls and roads. 

Its flexibility and water-permeable design make it perfect for various construction tasks.

Types of non-woven membranes

There are different types of non-woven geotextile membranes available, each tailored for specific construction needs, including: 

1. Needle-punched non-woven geotextiles 

Made by mechanically bonding fibres through a needle-punching process, these membranes are highly durable and commonly used for filtration, drainage, and separation in projects like roads, driveways, and groundworks. 

2. Thermally-bonded non-woven geotextiles 

These are created by bonding fibres using heat, offering excellent strength and stability. They're ideal for situations where reinforcement and protection are required in erosion control, landfills, and drainage systems, for example.

Benefits of a non-woven membrane

●     Enhanced performance: The non-woven range is thermally bonded, increasing its strength and durability. This makes it perfect for applications where reinforcement is needed in drainage systems, roads, and erosion control. 

●     Extra durability: Needle-punched membranes provide added durability and resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance. This makes them ideal for filtration and separation tasks, preventing soil and debris from entering drainage systems. 

●     Versatile for many applications: Non-woven membranes are suitable for a wide variety of applications, including ground stabilisation, road and driveway construction, and erosion control. With different types available, you can select the one that best meets your specific project needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between woven and non-woven geotextile membranes? 

Woven geotextile membranes are created by weaving fibres, making them ideal for reinforcement and load-bearing tasks.

Non-woven membranes, made by bonding fibres, are more suited to filtration, drainage, and separation projects due to their permeability and flexibility, making them a better choice for water management.

Can non-woven geotextile membranes be used for road construction?

Yes, non-woven geotextile membranes are frequently used in road construction for tasks like soil separation, drainage, and filtration.

They prevent soil mixing, reduce water accumulation, and help maintain the road’s structural integrity. And, they also improve load distribution, reduce the need for frequent repairs, and enhance the road’s overall durability, making them a cost-effective solution.

By ensuring proper water flow and stability, these membranes significantly prolong the lifespan of roads and other paved surfaces, reducing long-term maintenance costs and improving performance under heavy traffic conditions.

How do I choose the right type of non-woven membrane for my project? 

The choice depends on your specific project needs and conditions, such as soil type, drainage requirements, and environmental factors.

For filtration and drainage tasks, a needle-punched membrane is ideal due to its superior water permeability. Thermally bonded membranes, offering enhanced reinforcement and strength, are best for projects requiring more durability, such as erosion control or protecting sensitive structures like landfills.

The anticipated traffic load, long-term durability, and overall environmental impact should also be considered when selecting the right non-woven membrane for your project.

If you’re still unsure, our team at Cotterill Civils can help you choose the right product.

Are non-woven geotextile membranes environmentally friendly? 

Yes, non-woven geotextile membranes are eco-friendly solutions that enhance sustainability in construction. They prevent soil erosion, reduce the need for frequent repairs, and can help manage water flow in a way that protects surrounding ecosystems.
