Geotextiles for Separation & Stabilization

Road Stabilization Fabric

Our geotextiles for separation & stabilization are made of woven or non-woven polypropylene. Cherokee can manufacture geotextiles in any given width or length.

Product Applications

Our geotextiles are primarily used for separating engineered fill in a road profile from existing subgrade soils.

  • Engineered fill pushes down into the existing subgrade soils.
  • It can offer strength reinforcement to the road bed.
  • Prevents the loss of engineered fill into existing subgrade by repeated wheel load passing over it.
  • Prevents cracking, rutting, and potholes on the road surface.

FAQs

Q: Can you drive directly on your separation fabric?
A: No.

Q: How do you install in a turn?
A: Fold the fabric on a turn, or cut and overlap the fabric 12 inches.

Q: Should I use a woven or non-woven geotextile?
A: Use non-woven if you have any hydraulic activity. Woven is used for all other applications with lack of water.

Q: Does the geotextile need to be fastened to the ground?
A: It is not required, though in windy conditions it may be necessary to use sod staples or fabric pins to keep it in place.

How to Install Stabilization Fabrics

  1. Prepare your subgrade.
  2. Roll out fabric and make sure it’s free of wrinkles or tears.
  3. Push your engineered fill over it, making sure you have your fabric shingled in the correct direction for how you’re pushing your engineered fill.
