12 oz. Non Woven Geotextile Details
In addition to being UV resistant, the 12 oz. non woven geotextile fabric will not mildew or rot, is pH stable, and is not biodegradable. This 12 oz. geotextile fabric is also resistant to rodents and insects. This all comes together to translate into reliable and long-lasting performance results. The 12 oz. geotextile fabric's sieve rating proves that it is effective in filtering sediment while allowing stormwater to seep though. This geotextile soil stabilization fabric can be used in conditions with up to a 75 gpm/ft² flow. With a grab tensile strength of 300 lbs, puncture resistance up to 850 lbs., and an elongation rating of 50%, this filter fabric can withstand even extreme project requirements.

12 oz. Non Woven Geotextile Fabric Applications
This heavy-weight 12 oz. non woven geotextile soil stabilization fabric can be used for a wide variety of purposes. It is long lasting, extremely strong, and permeable.
- Soil Stabilization: Use non woven geotextile fabric to add strength and support to locations with poor soil quality or steep slopes.
- Erosion and sediment control: With strong soil retention properties, this soil stabilization fabric also is very efficient in protecting slopes, banks and hillsides from the effects of erosion.
- Underlayment: Reinforces jobsites while providing a uniform and tear resistant underlayment layer for road, railroad, and sports field construction projects.
- Aggregate Separation: Provides a buffer between two layers yet still facilitating stormwater drainage flow through, as is often required in road construction projects.
- Drainage and Filtration: The needle punched, felt-like fabric has good permittivity and filters sediment while letting water pass through. It can withstand significant flow pressure as well.
- Geomembrane Stabilization: Placed between the ground and a geomembrane liner in detention or retention ponds to protect the liner from damage or puncture.
12 oz. Non Woven Geotextile Filtration Fabric Installation
The instructions listed below provide a general installation guide for the 12 oz. non woven geotextile for drainage. If available, site and project specific installation instructions should take priority in the installation process.
If you need a general guideline on geotextile installation, keep reading. Exact installation requirements will be reflected in your specific project guidelines. If you need assistance in figuring out which geotextile fabric you need, contact our product specialists for more information.
- Prepare your install area by removing stumps, stones, and other items and pieces of debris that would penetrate the geotextile, making it unusable. If using the non woven 12 oz. geotextile fabric for roadway construction, clear vegetation and roots may also be required.
- Next, level the location, removing soft soil in favor of a higher grade material. Place material in the install area until it is tight and flat against the surface. Usually, fabric is supposed to be overlapped according to site specifications, but generally a minimum overlap or 12" to 18' is the standard.
- Secure this overlap with staples, pins, or other materials that will hold the 12 oz. non woven geotextile in place. As a last measure, backfill or place aggregate over the fabric. Generally, aggregate lift thickness will depend on the specifications of your soil and site, but 6" is the norm.
