In many civil engineering projects, the geotextile selection<\/strong> plays a key role in guaranteeing performance in road works, drainage, soil stabilization and structure protection.<\/p>\n

However, selecting geotextiles properly is not always as simple as it seems. Poor selection can lead to costly failures, loss of performance and reduction of project lifetime<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Below, we review some of the most common mistakes when selecting geotextiles and how to avoid them.<\/p>\n

\"Losa<\/p>\n

1. Choose the type of geotextile<\/a> without analyzing the application<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most common mistakes is to select the geotextile based solely on price or availability, without considering its function within the project.<\/p>\n

Geotextile is not the same as a geotextile for separation of layers in a pavement structure<\/strong> than one designed for booster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n
