Geotextile Fabrics

S G Baker are exclusive suppliers of SGB Geotextile fabric.

Our Geotextile fabric has the following primary uses

  • to reinforce areas of weak subsoil and distribute the load over a wider area
  • provide the means to maintain the separation of subgrade from clean base aggregate
  • to filter water passing through the ground without losing any excess of fine subsoil
  • to improve the performance of drainage systems and in many instances reduce the need to use graded aggregates
 

SGB Geotextile woven fabrics are designed for use in a multitude of civil engineering projects including roadworks, drainage systems and erosion control. Typical applications include:

Reinforcement of paved areas: runways, driveways and recreational areas.

Reinforcement of paved areas

Road stabilisation: housing or industrial park developments, storage areas, forestry work areas agricultural areas, landfill sites. The use of SGB Geotextile in the road building process can considerably increase its quality and lifespan.

Road stabilisation

Erosion control: river embankments, canals, beaches and harbour areas.

Erosion control

Drainage: the use of SGB Geotextile fabric can reduce the cost of land drains and road drainage systems. Using SGB geotextile fabrics as a filter, medium and large granular material can be used without fines in trench drains. This could reduce the trench dimensions and eliminate the need for extra installations such as carrier pipes and manholes.

Drainage

Landfill Separation: using SGB Geotextile fabrics to separate different quality fill can allow permeable and non permeable layers. This prevents vertical flow of unwanted leachate and allows natural horizontal drainage.
