Woven Geotextiles

Woven Reinforcement
High strength woven geotextiles composed of fibrilated tape provide all three geotextile functions: separation, reinforcement, and drainage/filtration. Common applications include subgrade separation and/or base reinforcement. As select material is placed and loaded onto soft soils, the textile separates the two and goes into tension providing vertical support (much like standing on a trampolene). Unlike traditional wovens, the fibrilated tape allows pore water pressure to dispurse easily through the fabric, aiding in consolidation and increasing the shear strength of the subgrade soils.

Mirafi HP Series is the premier choice for high strength woven geotextiles.

Woven Separators
Woven Slit Tape/Slit Film is the most common woven geotextile. It is primarily used to separate two dissimilar soils where there is very minimal or no flow of water through the fabric. Common applications include roads and parking lots, keeping soft subgrade soils from contaminating the select base material.

Mirafi X-Series is a cost effective woven separation geotextile.

Woven Filtration
Woven monofilaments provide separation and drainage/filtration. Unlike non-woven textiles, woven monofilaments resists clogging. They are recommended over non-wovens for tidal or wave action, beneath hard-armored revetment systems, or in any critical applications where the nominal increase in cost is justified.

Mirafi FW Filterweave Series offers a complete line of varying flow rates, strengths, and sieve sizes.
