In drainage, the geotextiles act as a horizontal drainage channel for liquids or gases. For underdrains constructed along pavements, the gravel-filled trenches lined with geotextiles allow water to drain into the trenches and separate or restrict soil materials, thereby preventing blockages that can reduce the flow of water and increase the risk of flooding and preventing damage to road structure and prolonging life of structure. For drainage, non-woven geotextiles are the preferred choice due to the small pore size and high flow capacity.
Non-woven geotextile fabrics are widely used in waste containment applications due to their superior strength, durability, and permeability properties. Waste containment refers to the process of safely storing or disposing of hazardous or non-hazardous waste materials to prevent environmental contamination and harm to human health.
