Description
200lb woven road fabric is a geotextile material commonly used in road construction and maintenance. It is typically made from polypropylene or polyester fibers and is woven to create a strong, durable fabric. The “200lb” designation refers to the weight or mass per unit area of the fabric, indicating that it is robust and able to withstand significant stress and loads.
This fabric is designed to be placed between layers of soil, aggregate, or other materials to provide separation, reinforcement, and filtration. Its primary functions include:
- Separation: Preventing the mixing of different soil layers or materials, ensuring better structural integrity.
- Reinforcement: Providing extra strength to the road surface or base layer, improving stability and reducing rutting or shifting.
- Filtration: Allowing water to pass through while retaining finer particles, which helps prevent clogging and ensures proper drainage.
The 200lb woven road fabric is particularly useful in areas with heavy traffic, poor soil conditions, or where there is a need for extra strength to prevent erosion or failure of the road structure.
