GEOTEXTILES

Geotextiles, also referred to as Filter fabric, prevents soil loss and subsidence behind the gabion. Geotextiles are supplied in rolls 2.6m or 5.2m wide, 150m long.

The Perfect Cutting Solution

We are excited to introduce the OLFA 45-C Rolling Scissors, a game-changer in precision cutting. Designed with innovation and user comfort in mind, the 45-C features a rotary blade and a flat bottom that allows for controlled cutting without damaging the surface beneath.

Why you need Geotextiles

Protect the integrity of your gabion basket installation with high-quality geotextiles between your gabion structures and the soil. We supply only the highest quality of both woven and non-woven geotextiles for gabion installations and other applications.

These geotextile filter fabric materials prevent the migration of fine soils to the spaces between rock particles. The migration of fine soil into your gabion structure can cause subsidence problems below or behind the gabion structure in time if not applied correctly and will stir up problems – especially in sandy soils. Clay soils do not generally require a geotextile filter fabric as they seldom leach through the basket section. We recommend using a suitable geotextile where the gabion is in contact with earth, this will limit any movement of soils through a gabion structure. In soft soil foundations especially and wherever overlaps or joins are required, we suggest a minimum overlap of 300mm(1 ft).

We supply geotextile to all sites where gabions are used. Depending on the required structure of the gabion, we normally find that about 1-2m² of geotextile per m³ of gabion is required.

The following roll sizes are available:

2.6 m wide x 150m long (390m²) or 5.2 x 150 m.

By using our superior grade of geotextiles, you ensure that your gabion installation’s integrity is long-lived.
