NovaTex In Malaysian Infrastructure Projects
Explore selected NovaTex applications in civil engineering and infrastructure projects across drainage, revetment & ground reinforcement.
Drainage Blanket
Sg. Rasau Water Supply Scheme
NovaTex NW10 non-woven geotextile was used as a separator within the drainage blanket.
Marine Revetment
Senibong Cove Rock Revetment
NovaTex NW90 heavy-duty non-woven geotextile was used as a filter layer within the rock revetment system.
Basal Reinforcement
KLIA Residential Development
NovaTex WV400 high-strength woven geotextile was used for basal reinforcement.
Our Geotextile Range
Different ground conditions require different material properties. NovaGeo helps you identify a suitable NovaTex grade based on your application and project specifications.
Woven Geotextiles
For Separation & Subgrade Reinforcement
Woven geotextiles help maintain separation between soil and aggregate layers and provide reinforcement where required by the project design.
Common Applications:
- Road Construction
- Working Platforms
- Weak Subgrade Reinforcement
- Soil Separation
- Embankment Bases
Key Considerations:
Tensile strength, elongation, opening size and installation requirements.
Non-Woven Geotextiles
For Filtration, Drainage & Protection
Needle-punched non-woven geotextiles allow water to pass while retaining soil particles. They also provide cushioning within geosynthetic systems.
Common Applications:
- Subsurface Drainage
- Filtration Layers
- Rock Revetments
- Soil Separation
- Geomembrane Protection
Key Considerations:
Opening size, hydraulic performance, puncture resistance and protection requirements.
High-Strength PET
For Engineered Reinforcement
High-tenacity polyester geotextiles are intended for applications requiring high tensile capacity and consideration of long-term reinforcement performance.
Common Applications:
- Basal Reinforcement
- Embankments Over Soft Soils
- Heavy Earthworks
- Engineered Void-Bridging Applications
Key Considerations:
Design tensile strength, elongation, creep, durability and installation conditions.
Which Geotextile Do You Need?
Start with your project application. This table is an indicative guide. Final selection should follow project specifications and engineering design.
| Project Application | Commonly Considered Geotextile | Main Function |
|---|---|---|
| Roads and working platforms | Woven or non-woven, depending on design | Separation; reinforcement where required |
| Weak subgrade reinforcement | Woven or high-strength PET | Reinforcement |
| Soil separation | Woven or non-woven | Separation |
| Subsurface drainage | Non-woven | Filtration |
| Rock revetment | Suitable non-woven filter grade | Filtration and soil retention |
| Basal reinforcement | High-strength PET or specified grade | Reinforcement |
| Geomembrane protection | Suitable non-woven protection grade | Cushioning and protection |
Frequently Asked Questions
Woven geotextiles are commonly considered for separation and reinforcement applications. Non-woven geotextiles are commonly considered for filtration, drainage-system filtration, separation and protection. The appropriate choice depends on the required material properties, soil conditions and project design.
Both woven and non-woven geotextiles may be used in road construction, depending on whether the main requirement is separation, filtration or reinforcement. Selection should consider subgrade conditions, loading, installation conditions and the project specification.
Selected NovaTex products have been tested by SIRIM for specified material properties. Contact NovaGeo to confirm the available documentation for the grade you are considering.
