Reinforcement

Jute geotextiles, as reinforced material, may also be used in weak soils, in which it provides reinforcement, considerably increasing the bearing capacity of the soil and reducing uneven settlement under conditions of subsiding ground.

Protection of River Banks, Seashores, Embankments etc.

The flexibility and permeability, allowing cross-flow of water make jute geotextiles a better material for protecting riverbanks and embankments from the onslaught of floodwater and the seashores from wave surge. The ecological advantages are even more important wherever slopes to be protected are in contact with water.

Rural Road Pavement Construction

Use of geotextiles in pavements allows reduction in thickness of pavement on a soft upgrade by the separation and reinforcement functions of geotextiles and gives less maintenance problems for long-term use. Besides, being permeable and by allowing cross flow, geotextiles prevent stagnation of water below the sub-grade, serves as a filter and allow free drainage of water.

Placing geotextiles in different aggregate layers of roads and highways, is expected to minimize effectively maintenance problems due to continuous pressure from moving vehicles.
