Erosion Control Erosion Control

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.

EROSION CONTROL


Figure left shows a typical rutting of road surface caused by interaction of aggregate and sub-soil.

Figure left shows AUTOWAY in position preventing the interaction - thus extending the life of a road surface.

 


Autoway Geotextile Fabrics are used also in Erosion Control projects. River Embankments, Canals, Beach and Harbour areas are just some of the many applications.

Land Reclamation on very soft soils should be achieved in several layers with plant of increasing weight.
