Geotextiles

Tengeo Woven & Nonwoven Geotextiles

Woven and nonwoven geotextiles supplied by Ten Geosystems are essential components of geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering, performing key functions such as separation, filtration, drainage, protection and reinforcement. Their behaviour depends on polymer type, manufacturing process, pore structure, mechanical & hydraulic properties. Tengeo geotextiles provide multifunctional performance, durability and cost-effective solutions for soil improvement, drainage, filtration and environmental protection—supporting long-term, reliable infrastructure development.

Tengeo Woven Geotextiles

Woven geotextiles are produced by interlacing polypropylene or polyester yarns in warp and weft directions using precision looms. This creates fabrics with controlled pore sizes, high tensile strength and low strain. Ten Geosystems supplies woven geotextiles including monofilament, multifilament, slit-film and high-strength variants for reinforcement applications.

Material Characteristics:
Tengeo woven geotextiles typically offer high tensile strength, low elongation and effective soil confinement.

Tengeo Nonwoven Geotextiles

Nonwoven geotextiles offered by Ten Geosystems are manufactured by needle punching or thermal bonding carded webs of fibres, forming a three-dimensional structure with high permeability and filtration capacity. Needle-punched nonwovens provide flexibility and puncture resistance, while thermally bonded nonwovens deliver uniform pore openings suitable for filtration and protection layers.

Material Characteristics:
Tengeo nonwovens provide excellent water flow, high puncture resistance and reliable soil filtration.

Geocomposites

Geocomposites are engineered combinations of two or more geosynthetic materials designed to optimize performance in civil and environmental engineering applications. By integrating the characteristics of different components—such as geotextiles, geonets, geomembranes, geogrids, or drainage cores—geocomposites deliver enhanced filtration, drainage, separation, protection, or reinforcement functions.

Geotechnical Functions

Woven and nonwoven geotextiles serve as essential components in soil engineering due to their ability to modify, reinforce, and improve soil behaviour.

Separation: Geotextiles prevent intermixing of different soil layers, maintaining structural integrity of pavements, railways and embankments.

Filtration: nonwoven geotextiles allow water to pass while retaining soil particles, making them ideal for drainage trenches, retaining walls, and subsurface systems.
Drainage: Needle-punched nonwovens are often preferred for vertical and horizontal drainage due to their high permeability and ability to function as filter media.
Reinforcement: Woven geotextiles, with their high tensile modulus, are preferred for soil reinforcement in embankments, road bases, and retaining structures. They help distribute loads, reduce differential settlement, and improve bearing capacity on weak subgrades.
Protection: Nonwoven geotextiles are also commonly used for cushioning and protection of geomembranes in landfill lining systems,reservoirs, canals and tunnels.

Civil Engineering Applications

In erosion control works, geotextiles stabilize soil surfaces, allowing vegetation to establish while preventing soil washout.

Coastal engineering applications utilize them beneath riprap and breakwaters to prevent scour and loss of bedding material.

Geotextiles are integral in railway construction to enhance track stability and drainage performance.

In highway construction, they extend pavement life by preventing upward migration of fines and preserving aggregate thickness.

They also enhance the stability of earth embankments and soft soil foundations when combined with geogrids or geocells.

In pipeline and canal works, geotextiles protect bedding layers and reduce soil erosion caused by water flow.
