Woven geotextiles are permeable synthetic materials designed to interact with soil and perform essential functions such as separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, and protection. Manufactured through the interlacing of polymer yarns or tapes, they are customized according to the mechanical and hydraulic properties required for each application.
They offer high tensile strength, chemical stability, and durability in demanding environments, making them ideal solutions for critical infrastructure such as roads, railways, retaining walls, and erosion control works.
Advantages / Benefits
High tensile strength: The woven structure and polymer molecular orientation provide high load-bearing capacity, ideal for reinforcement in roads, walls, and slopes.
Chemical durability: Resistant to degradation by acids, alkalis, and microorganisms, ensuring long service life in aggressive soils.
UV stability (with additives): Extended resistance to solar exposure, essential for exposed applications.
Controlled permeability: Allows water passage while retaining particles, enabling effective filtration and drainage without clogging.
Lightweight and easy installation: Low weight per square meter and roll presentation facilitate transport, cutting, and installation.
Cost-effectiveness: Compared to traditional materials (gravel, concrete), reduces material, transportation, and labor costs.
Sustainability: Use of recycled polymers and low-energy manufacturing processes supports environmentally friendly practices.

Foundation Improvement – Hospital Lucio Aldazábal Pauca, Huancané, Puno, Peru
Subgrade Improvement – Tampico International Airport, Tamaulipas, Mexico
Foundation Improvement – Hospital Lucio Aldazábal Pauca, Huancané, Puno, Peru

Foundation Improvement – Hospital Lucio Aldazábal Pauca, Huancané, Puno, Peru
During the construction of the new Hospital Lucio Aldazábal Pauca, foundation soils with low bearing capacity were identified, insufficient to withstand new structural demands.
As a solution, foundation reinforcement was carried out through the incorporation of granular material combined with geosynthetics, using T-6 rigid multiaxial geogrids. This intervention increased soil shear strength and achieved the required bearing capacity, ensuring a solid and reliable foundation for the hospital.
Subgrade Improvement – Tampico International Airport, Tamaulipas, Mexico
In the Tampico International Airport improvement project, soft soils with low undrained shear strength were identified.
To address this condition, a subgrade improvement system using geosynthetics was implemented, consisting of nonwoven geotextile combined with a T-7 multiaxial geogrid.
This solution reinforced ground structure, increased stiffness, and improved airport infrastructure performance, ensuring a stable and reliable base.
