The Subgrade Sentinel: How Geotextile Fabric Extends the Life of Roads and Pavements
The building of long-lasting roads and pavements is at the core of the infrastructural needs of the modern world. However, it is constantly challenged due to bad soil conditions, heavy traffic, and the arrival of water that never seems to stop. The life of any pavement structure, whether it is an asphalt road, concrete runway, or gravel access road, depends on the stability of the layers beneath it. Geotextile fabric of high quality thus becomes a very essential device that goes down as a subgrade guard, which accomplishes several critical functions to suppress the causes that lead to the failure of pavements. They do so by fundamentally increasing the road's load capacity and drainage through the insertion of a sturdy, specially made barrier made of polymers between the soil on the subgrade and the granular base. Thus, longer pavement lifetimes and substantial cost savings in the long run are the two main results of such a construction. Separation: Preventing Subgrade Contaminatio...
