Geotextiles | Filter Separators | Terrex NW Needle Punch Non-wovens

Terrex NW Geotextiles from ABG Geosynthetics

Terrex NW Geotextile has high performance staple-fibres mechanically bonded offering excellent performance against weight characteristics.

Terrex NW Geotextile is a range of staple fibre, needle punched and thermally bonded non-woven geotextiles designed specifically to offer optimum performance per unit weight.

Applications

General purpose separator for granular layers
Separation and strengthening
Filtration fabrics
Highway filter / separators
Findrains and highway edge drainage
French drains / wrapping stone drainage systems
Separation under ABG Sudspave and Truckcell permeable paving systems

Benefits

Uniform tensile strength
Wide range of CBR values
Excellent water flows normal to plane
Consistent pore sizes
Permeable

Terrex NW geotextiles perform the functions of separation and filtration in the construction of sub-base granular layers. This separator / filter function prevents the intermixing of granular sub-base layers and the passage of stone particles which could cause the failure of the surface or pavement structure.

Terrex NW geotextiles used for sub-base separation

Terrex NW geotextiles are non-woven, needle punched, heat treated fabrics designed to offer optimum performance per with high mechanical and hydraulic properties making them the ideal choice for separation and filtration applications.

Geotextiles used for linear filter drains

Case Studies / Recent Projects:

Terrex NW geotextile has been installed on the following projects:

Ground Stabilisation over Soft Ground, Bredbury, Manchester UK

The resulting mechanical robustness and excellent hydraulic properties make Terrex NW geotextiles an ideal choice for applications in filtration and separation such as a general purpose separator under site access roads and hard-standing areas, as a separation and strengthening layer under new roads and as a filter medium in the construction of French drains or a granular drainage blanket.

Terrex NW geotextiles offer many advantages including uniform tensile strength in all planes through the geotextile fabric, a wide range of CBR puncture strengths, excellent water flows normal to the plane, consistent pore opening sizes for use with a wide range of soil types and hydraulic properties suited to the demands of everyday filter separators.

The use of ABG Terrex NW geotextile may offer cost savings on the project by helping reduce the requirement for fill materials and by minimising future maintenance.
