Geotextile
GEOTEX
Eurovent® GEOTEX geotextile is made of thermally bonded continuous polypropylene fibres stabilised against UV radiation. It is used in the construction of sports fields, pavements and cycle paths, as well as in vertical drainage, infiltration drainage, irrigation systems and drainage pipe systems. Thanks to its structure and manufacturing technology, it provides filtration, protection and separation, stabilises the ground and protects other construction materials against damage.
Advantages
- provides separation and filtration
- effective protection and drainage
- stabilises the ground
Application and Technical Data
Eurovent® GEOTEX geotextile is designed for filtration, separation and protection applications in civil engineering and landscaping. It effectively separates soil layers, stabilises the subgrade and protects adjacent materials against mechanical damage. It provides long-term filtration, allowing water to pass through while retaining solid particles.
It is suitable for the construction of car parks, pavements, sports fields and cycle paths, as well as drainage systems. It is also used in landscaped areas, including for protecting and irrigating roadside vegetation and as a filtration layer around water reservoirs and riverbanks.

For maximum performance, GEOTEX should be used in combination with:
- Eurovent® drainage and separation mats (e.g. GEO MATT, MATT), which support water drainage and improve ground stabilisation in road and drainage systems,
- Eurovent® foundation membranes (e.g. GEO 8, GEO 20), where GEOTEX acts as a protective and filtration layer, protecting the waterproofing against damage and clogging,
- Eurovent® drainage and water management systems, which work together with the geotextile to filter and transport ground water and rainwater,
- aggregates and sub-base layers, which together with GEOTEX create stable and durable structures for pavements, embankments, slopes and land drainage systems.
Using complete Eurovent® system solutions ensures effective layer separation, improved subgrade bearing capacity, efficient filtration and long-term protection of structures against erosion, settlement and water.
GOOD TO KNOW
What is GEOTEX used for?
It provides filtration, separation and protection, allowing water to pass while limiting migration of soil particles.
Why is geotextile useful in foundation drainage?
It can help prevent soil particles entering drainage aggregate, pipes or drainage cavities and reducing their performance.
Where else can GEOTEX be used?
Under pavements, cycle paths, parking areas and sports fields and in infiltration, irrigation and pipe drainage systems.
Is GEOTEX waterproofing?
No. It is water-permeable and performs a different function from a waterproof layer.
Can it help stabilise the ground?
Yes. By separating soil layers it reduces their mixing and can support the stability of a correctly designed construction.
