GENERAL APPLICATIONS

SKAPS woven geotextiles are individual threads (monofilaments, multi-filaments, fibrillated yarns) or slit films and tapes that are actually woven on a loom. Typically, woven geotextile fabrics can be used for stabilization, separation, reinforcement, and erosion control applications. Woven geotextile fabrics strive to provide dimensional stability and deliver superior load distribution.

SKAPS Industries woven geotextiles typically hold a higher strength to weight ratio in comparison with their non-woven needle-punched geotextiles. In comparison to non-woven geotextiles, woven geotextiles typically maintain slower drainage characteristics due to their smaller pore sizes. Therefore, woven geotextiles are less likely to be applied in engineered areas that require high filtration and drainage characteristics.

SKAPS geotextiles have been successfully used in areas associated with high loads, pressures, or traffic such as: 

• Structural Reinforcement
  
• Driveway/Road Stabilization
• Separation of Aggregates  
  
• Erosion Control  
  
• Support Under Seawalls
