Soil Separation & Filtration

Geotechnical, environmental and civil engineering projects typically involve an assessment of soil characteristics. Most often, synthetic products are used to help make soils more suitable for construction. This includes products that provide soil separation and filtration functions. Geotextiles are the most effective product solution for soil separation and filtration. They act as a separation layer between the sub-base soil and over topping aggregate to prevent intermixing of the two. Preventing this intermixing helps ensure structural integrity of construction projects while avoiding aggregate loss. Geotextiles can also minimize the risk of soil particles migrating into the sub-base from surface water by acting as filter. This soil filtration helps also helps preserve structural integrity.

The type of construction projects requiring soil separation and filtration is vast, however common projects where geotextiles are typically used, include:

  • Road building
  • Railway construction
  • Earth dam construction
  • Retaining wall construction
  • Drainage trenches and ditches
  • Landfill lining systems
  • Wastewater lagoon lining systems
  • Embankment and channel erosion control systems

Titan offers woven, non-woven and monofilament geotextiles for use in civil and environmental applications.

Woven Geotextiles

 Our geotextiles are manufactured from polypropylene materials which offer optimum performance when used in stabilization applications.

Non Woven Geotextiles

These needle-punched geotextiles are made of 100% polypropylene staple fibers, which are formed into a random network for dimensional stability.

Monofilament Geotextiles

Monofilament geotextiles are manufactured from extruded polypropylene monofilaments which are woven to create a very dimensionally stable and highly permeable geotextile.

Sewing Machine & Staple Setter

Titan offers both the sewing machine and staple setter for geotextile installation.
