Geotextile Fabric

Geotextile Fabrics

The McArthur Group is proud to be one of the leading wholesale distributors of geotextile fabrics to construction & landscaping contractors/projects within the United Kingdom. Geotextile fabrics have become fundamental in solving an increasingly diverse range of geotechnical & environmental problems related to landscaping, drainage & erosion to name a few.

Geotextile Fabrics Sustainability

The primary benefit of using geotextile fabrics is to enhance the performance & the design life of a development within the built environment.

Traditional applications of geotextile fabrics include:

• Soil reinforcement
• Ground stabilization
• Filtration & drainage
• Landscape protection (erosion control)

The ongoing impact of increasing climate change & the pressures to deliver sustainable developments create the need for divers & innovative Geotextile fabrics, as offered by the McArthur Group, across all industry sectors.

Core Applications of Geotextile Fabrics

Separation

• Separating the sub base and the sub grade
• Prevents intermixing of construction layers and maintains construction thickness
• Keeping expensive aggregates apart from soft ground

Reinforcement

• Reinforcing over weak sub grades
• Absorbing stresses that occur when heavy loads pass over the road

Filtration

• Small enough to control soil particle movement
• Large enough to avoid clogging and maintain waterflow
• Creates bridging zone to promote natural soil filtration

Erosion Protection

• High resistance to static and dynamic puncture when placed in coastal erosion protection works
• Effective anchorage in the construction attained through frictional interlock

Drainage

• Allows water to pass through into a filter drain without carrying fine soil particles with it
• HF grades offer very high waterflows with relatively large pore size distribution

McArthur Group’s geotextile fabrics form part of our building products portfolio.
