Advantages of Geotextile's water permeability and drainage in embankment engineering

1. Geotextile's water permeability and drainage
Geotextile, as a geosynthetic material, has unique water permeability and drainage capabilities, which makes it play a vital role in embankment engineering. Once the embankment encounters a large amount of precipitation or the groundwater level rises, the water retention inside the soil will cause the soil to soften, thereby reducing the compressive strength of the soil, and even causing disasters such as landslides and subsidence.

Water permeability: Geotextile's water permeability enables it to effectively allow water to pass through and drain quickly. The fiber structure of Geotextile forms an open mesh pore system, and water can flow through the pores without destroying the soil structure.

Drainage function: Geotextile's drainage capacity is not only reflected in its high water permeability, but also through the effective water flow guiding function to form a drainage channel. Geotextile can quickly guide the excess water in the embankment to the designated area through its own structure, lower the groundwater level, and avoid the adverse effects of water accumulation.

2. Combination of product features with water permeability and drainage capacity
This Geotextile has performance such as water permeability, drainage capacity and corrosion resistance, which perfectly meets the needs of embankment projects for drainage systems. The specific product features and the combination of water permeability and drainage capacity are as follows:

Excellent water permeability: This Geotextile uses polypropylene or polyester chemical fiber materials, has extremely high water permeability, and can maintain stable water permeability under the pressure of soil and water. Whether it is an area with loose soil structure or an area with high groundwater level, Geotextile can effectively remove excess water and prevent soil softening caused by water retention, thereby improving the stability of the embankment.

Efficient drainage channel function: The structural characteristics of Geotextile enable it to form an efficient drainage channel inside the soil. This channel can quickly guide excess water in the soil to the ground or other drainage systems, reduce water retention, and keep the roadbed dry.

Corrosion resistance and durability: Geotextile is made of polypropylene or polyester chemical fiber and has corrosion resistance. Its anti-oxidation and acid-base resistance properties allow it to be used for a long time in a humid or acid-base environment without deterioration, effectively extending the service life of the drainage system. Whether in severe weather conditions or in areas with abundant water resources, Geotextile can maintain its permeability and drainage functions for a long time.

3. Application advantages of Geotextile's permeability and drainage capacity
The application advantages of Geotextile in improving the permeability and drainage capacity of embankments are not only reflected in soil stability and structural protection, but also have significant economic benefits and construction convenience. The specific advantages are as follows:

Reducing soil erosion and soil erosion: In areas with severe soil erosion, Geotextile can effectively prevent the upper soil and gravel from directly contacting the water flow, reducing the scouring effect of the water flow on the soil.

Enhanced skid resistance: Geotextile's drainage function helps to reduce the accumulation of water inside the embankment and reduce the impact of water pressure on the soil. This is particularly important in high groundwater levels, soft soil or rainy environments.

Easy construction and cost saving: Geotextile makes the construction process easier and faster due to its light weight and flexibility. Compared with traditional drainage systems, the installation of Geotextile does not require a lot of heavy equipment and manual operation, saving construction costs and time.

Environmental friendliness: Geotextile material itself is non-toxic and harmless, meeting green environmental protection requirements. In modern engineering construction, environmental protection is increasingly valued. As an environmentally friendly building material, the use of Geotextile can reduce the negative impact on the environment and conform to the concept of sustainable development.
