Woven Monofilament Geotextiles for Long Term Filtration and Drainage

These geotextiles are specially woven with high Percent Open Areas (POA) for maximum resistance to clogging and were the first to be used and specified by the USACOE.

Carthage Mills’ woven monofilaments were America’s first filter fabrics and the only ones that have been used successfully for more than 50 years. They can be found in literally tens of thousands of projects designed and managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, all levels of foreign and local governments, and private entities around the world. Carthage Mills can quickly fabricate custom widths and lengths for your specific project thereby reducing waste and installation times.

Woven monofilament geotextiles can provide ‘long term’ solutions for nearly any drainage/filtration application, thus making them the filter fabric of choice for bulkheads, subsurface drainage systems and under hard armor. Effective levels of Percent Open Area, a property found critical to long term filtration, are unique to woven monofilaments. Values ł4% indicate that a sufficient quantity of ‘direct paths’ through the fabric exist to allow for the release of troublesome migrating fines. The subsequent formation of a free flowing filter cake against the surface of a free flowing filter fabric is the designers’ insurance against long term clogging of their systems.
