Subsurface Drainage

Applications and Design Challenges
Geotextiles have replaced graded soil filters for drainage of virtually all structures, including groundwater intercept systems, pavements, building foundations, dams and walls.

Geotextile Solutions and Benefits
Compared to conventional soil filters, geotextiles offer advantages by providing a consistent and continuous filter, reduced excavation, reduced environmental impact, higher quality construction and a substantial reduction in material costs.
DX2 offers a broad spectrum of fabrics specifically designed for drainage applications. Both nonwoven and woven geotextiles perform well when draining stable, coarse-grained soils. Nonwovens are generally used when the retention of fine soil particles is critical to the performance of the drainage system.
