Geotextiles are permanent sediment control and stabilization fabrics made from polypropylene. They come in woven and nonwoven rolls.
Depending on the model and weight of geotextiles, they are used for the following municipal applications:

As the strongest filter fabric, woven geotextiles are created by weaving polypropylene strands together. They are generally used for stabilization and separation, but the fabrics are still permeable with filtration qualities.
Woven geotextiles are particularly useful during Streetscaping development. They can be used as asphalt overlay or road underlayment during road construction. During the landscaping segment of the project, the fabric offers permanent soil stabilization and sediment control to create a smooth, clean design.
Woven geotextile fabrics are used to construct several filtration products including dewatering tubes and silt fence.
Clarion Municipal woven geotextiles are available by the roll in several different types.
| Model | Tensile Strength |
Permittivity | Water Flow | UV Resistance | Roll Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Woven 150 | 150 lbs | 0.05 sec -1 | 34 gpm/ft² | 70% / 2500 hrs | 15 ft x 300 ft |
| Woven 200 | 200 lbs | 0.05 sec -1 | 5 gpm/ft² | 70% / 700 hrs | 12.5 ft x 432 ft 17.5 ft x 309 ft |
| Woven 315 | 315 lbs | 0.5 sec -1 | 4 gpm/ft² | 70% / 500 hrs | 12.5 ft x 360 ft 17.5 ft x 258 ft |
Woven monofilament fabric is a specific type of woven geotextile. Extruded, round strands weave together in a design that allows for water flow rates and permittivity closer to nonwoven fabrics.
Monofilament fabrics are available by the roll and also used in filtration products. For example, permeable Floating Barriers has a 6 percent monofilament to permit water to flow through the silt curtain. Clarion Municipal's Storm Drain Filters use a 10 percent monofilament fabric to separate silt, sediment, and other debris from stormwater runoff.
| Model* | Tensile Strength |
Permittivity | Water Flow | UV Resistance | Roll Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6% | 370 x 250 lbs | 0.5 sec -1 | 360 gpm/ft² | 90% / 500 hrs | 6 ft x 300 ft 12 ft x 300 ft |
| 10% | 370 x 200 lbs | 2.1 sec -1 | 145 gpm/ft² | 90% / 500 hrs | 6 ft x 300 ft 12 ft x 300 ft |

Non woven geotextile are made entirely from rot-resistant, needle-punched staple fibers. With higher rates of permittivity and water flow than woven stabilization fabric, they are commonly used for filtration and permanent sediment control.
While used for many purposes, one of the most common applications for nonwoven geotextiles is filtration around drains. The filter fabric helps separate silt while still allowing water flow. This is particularly useful to a city's Transport Infrastructure department when designing and constructing the following:
Nonwoven geotextile fabrics are used to manufacture dewatering bags.
Clarion Municipal nonwoven geotextiles are available by the roll in a variety of weights depending on the application.
