Application
TexoFib Geotextile stabilize the foundation, prevent contaminations to the
ballast, optimize the drainage capacity of the whole structure and hence
enabling it to withstand with required loads.
Function
In railway tracks construction the geotextile is used primarily as a:
- Separator on the basis of embankments or between different types of
granular soils. - Base separator between the ground granular embankments and
ballast.
Advantages
TexoFib Geotextile contribute in multiple ways to the preservation and life extension of railroads. As a separator, maintain the designed thickness and integrity of the base and granular layers. Without geotextile layer, track structural strength and drainage capacity are reduced due to sub-soil penetration into the ballast layers. As drainage and filtration media, the TexoFib Geotextile maintain water flow through the sub-grade layers and avoids track deformation due to water accumulation. TexoFib Geotextile also enhance stress bearing capacity of the complete structure by even load distribution.
