AUTOWAY WOVEN FABRICS have been designed for use in a variety of civil engineering applications from road works and drainage systems to erosion control projects and have been found to be ideal in areas where poor ground conditions prevail and weak sub-soil is evident.

AUTOWAY FABRICS are woven from extruded polypropylene tapes with a very low specific gravity, producing a product of regular construction with a high strength to weight ratio.

AUTOWAY FABRICS will not absorb any appreciable amount of moisture and are unaffected by soil alkalinity or soil acidity making them ideal in road and drainage applications. Properly installed

AUTOWAY FABRICS will retain their high strength and other properties for many years.

Autoway Geotextile Fabrics are used in many Area Stabilisation projects by leading construction companies throughout the world. Running Tracks, Equestrian Facilities, Pipelines, Bowling Greens, Tennis Courts, Golf Course Paths, Bunkers and more.

The use of AUTOWAY to separate layers of different quality fill can allow permeable and non permeable media layers to prevent vertical flow of unwanted leakage and allow natural horizontal drainage under sites.Landfill
The use of AUTOWAY to separate layers of different quality fill can allow permeable and non permeable media layers to prevent vertical flow of unwanted leakage and allow natural horizontal drainage under sites.

Autoway can be used to increase slope steepness on embankments and reduce the amount of upfill required.

AUTOWAY as a separation layer between heavy upfill and fine can act as an improvement to erosion control by preventing migration of finer particles and allowing passage of water to reduce hydrostatic pressures.

The use of AUTOWAY FABRIC as a separation medium between the sub-grade and the aggregate can reduce the depth of aggregate required.Building Areas
The use of AUTOWAY FABRIC as a separation medium between the sub-grade and the aggregate can reduce the depth of aggregate required.

Selection of the correct AUTOWAY FABRIC can allow the use of less stable quality of sub-soil than would normally be acceptable, by spreading the stresses applied over larger areas.

Drainage filtration can also allow water reduction in selected areas.
