Midwest Construction Products civil nonwoven geotextiles are designed for high permittivity (water flow) and a fine pore structure. Their strength prevents damage due to construction stresses, while their pores allow the free flow of groundwater and in-place gas and liquid transmission. Given their fine pore structure, civil nonwovens prevent fine soils from piping through or clogging the geotextile – eliminating the need for an expensive graded granular filter. Filtration: Civil non-woven geotextiles filter soil particles while allowing excellent water permittivity for structures requiring drainage. Erosion Control: They can provide erosion control structures with stabilization and filtration. Reinforcement / Stabilization: Civil non-woven geotextiles filter soil particles while allowing excellent water permittivity for structures requiring drainage. Separation: They also perform separation beneath roads, keeping dissimilar materials separated to maintain their functionality. Drainage: Their high in-place and normal flow rates prevent excess water buildup and pore pressure, keeping civil structures strong and stable. For subsurface drains, Midwest offers highly-permeable, non-biodegradable soil-filtering fabrics that are simple to install and help maintain the soil stability critical for roadways, buildings and airport runways.
