Functions of geosynthetics according to their types

SEPARATION

Needle-punched, stitched, thermally and chemically bonded geotextiles, normal geotextiles, dense knotless geomesh, and sometimes thin geomembranes.

FILTRATION

Needle-punched, stitched, thermally and chemically bonded geotextiles, and other geotextiles.

DRAINAGE

Geodrains, thick needle-punched and stitched geotextiles, and permeable geocomposites.

REINFORCEMENT

Geogrids, knotless geomesh, permeable geocomposites, needle-punched and stitched geotextiles with enhanced strength, and other geotextiles.

SURFACE EROSION PROTECTION

Cellular geomesh, geomatics, dense knotless geomesh, needle-punched and stitched geotextiles, geotextiles, and permeable geocomposites.

INSULATION (SEALING)

Single-layer and multi-layer geomembranes (including reinforced), bentomats, geomembranes, and bentonite geomembranes.

PROTECTION

Needle-punched, stitched, thermally and chemically bonded geotextiles, and other geotextiles.
