Jute Geo Textile, for Approach Roads of Bridges

Listing ID #4185467

Introduction:

Jute Geotextile is a kind of natural technical product, laid in or on soil to improve its engineering properties.
Jute soil savers dissipate kinetic energy of raindrops and control surface runoff. They also help in precipitation of detached soil particles and aid in faster growth of vegetation. They absorb water up to 5 times their own weight. They degrade faster and so are used in areas conducive to growth of vegetation. They are cheap compared to coir products.

Application:

• Approach roads of bridges.
• Overburden dumps of open cast mines.
• Watershed and Ecology management.
• Slopes of Roads, Railways, Flood embankments and on hill slopes.
• Erosion Control in golf courses.

Jute Geotextiles can be used in the construction of temporary and access roads. They perform filtration, separation and drainage functions for 6 to 12 months and degrade without leaving any harmful residue. The inherent drainage property of natural fibres to carry water in the plane direction can be advantageously used to increase the bearing capacity of the soil by draining away water and hence stiffening the soil.
Jute geotextiles are used as silt fences in short duration projects because of their filtration property. They are eco-friendly and can be disposed without any treatment or precautions. Jute geotextiles find application as night cover on waste dumps. After use they can either be disposed in the landfill or composted into a fertilizer.
