Retaining Wall Geo Fabric

Landscape fabric is thin and sturdy and is a simple way to preserve a retaining wall s construction.

Retaining wall geo fabric.

The material used is call geogrid. There are several manufacturers and a few different styles but geogrid of all types is best described as a woven fabric of high tensile strength that is pinned between layers of retaining wall and extends back into the soils the wall is retaining to lock together the block or stone wall with the soils behind it. It is manufactured using select grades of high density polyethylene hdpe resins that resist elongation or creep when subjected to high loads for long periods of time. Many uses can be used for many different projects including landscaping retaining walls french drains underlayment erosion control gardening riprap filter fabric pond underlayment construction projects and more superior quality super geotextile offers the highest quality products product specifications.

1 dig a 6 to 8 inch wide trench immediately behind the retaining wall with a shovel. Benefits adds strength and longevity to retaining walls provides excellent. Measure the length of the retaining wall to determine the length of the fabric. Installed in horizontal layers between wall courses and extending into the soil behind a wall geogrid stabilizes the soil and so increases a wall system s mass and stability.

Geosynthetic clay liner is made of special composite geotextile and non woven fabric with high swelling sodium bentonite filing in it. Geogrid is a geosynthetic material made of polymers that is used to reinforce soil behind retaining walls. Geosheet is a geocomposite drainage sheet designed for vertical drainage behind retaining walls bridge abutments basement walls. Earthlock retaining wall geogrid with tensar ux technology is designed to easily and efficiently reinforce soil slopes rss and segmental block retaining walls srws.

Geogrid fabric for retaining wall slope and roadbase support universal geogrid bi directional biaxial geogrid which may be installed either perpendicular or parallel to the wall for lengths 3 4 or 6 feet. Being lightweight it is also well suited for installations on steep building sites to replace the need for traditional expensive drainage gravels that are heavy and provide logistic problems for the installer.
