Technical textiles are also used in the field of geotechnology. Virtually invisible and usually buried under the ground, they are fundamentally important for the installation of garbage dumps, insulation, noise control barriers, and many other infrastructure facilities. Furthermore, technical textiles are utilized in landscape architecture, allowing the full magnificence of green areas and parks to be on permanent display.
For geotechnology, technical textiles take on a decisive role in a double sense. They stabilize the earth by preventing the seepage of ground water, thereby averting erosion. In addition, these textiles safeguard the environment through their antimicrobial function, thus protecting the ground water and our health as well. |  |
