GF609 is a woven general separation geotextile commonly used beneath drive ways, paths, roads and riding arenas. Detailed specification below:
Separation
Using Hy-Tex GF609 woven geotextile prevents intermixing of materials with different grades or structure.
This improves compaction and load bearing capacity, whilst ensuring long term drainage performance.
It also minimizes the need for ground excavation, enables work to proceed during adverse weather, reduces the amount of costly aggregate and extends the effective life of the construction.
Filtration
Using Hy-Tex GF609 woven geotextiles permits free flow of water whilst retaining fines (sand/silt).
This prevents build up of hydraulic pressure, ensures the drainage medium remains unclogged, and provides efficient long term performance and low maintenance.
Furthermore, it also allows less expensive aggregate to be used.
Reinforcement
Using Hy-Tex GF609 woven geotextiles increases ground stability by distributing and supporting loads.
The high tensile strengths of these woven geotextiles, combined with their frictional resistance, restrain ground movement and deformation from imposed loads, whilst spreading localized stresses from individual stones.
This permits alternative designs and provides cost effective solutions.
Highways, Roads and Temporary Tracks
- Hy-Tex GF609 geotextiles offer a cost effective solution for a variety of asphalt, paved and granular vehicle ways.
- Using a geotextile reduces the amount of costly foundation aggregate materials, whilst also improving load bearing capacity, stability and drainage. Consequently, life span is increased, maintenance reduced and access allowed over weak ground normally unsuited to vehicles.
- Separation geotextiles control subsidence by preventing the hardcore foundation from mixing with underlying softer ground, and hindering pumping of fine particles into the opener aggregate.
- The fabrics also significantly improve the effectiveness of vibro-compaction by restricting movement of the coarse top stone during the consolidating process and behaving like a drum skin. This results in better strength at the lowest road layers because they are more tightly compacted.
- Filtration Hy-Tex GF609 geotextiles aid quick and reliable drainage of the sub-base. The permeable fabric allow free flow of water, whilst filtering out fine particles which would clog the aggregate layer. This prevents build-up of hydraulic pressure and ensures long term drainage performance.
