G-TEX™ Geotextile filter fabric is a vital component of any gabion gravity retaining wall. The void ratio of the stone fill confined within the gabion baskets allows for free drainage of the retained soils and requires a filter fabric be placed between the wall and the specified backfill soil interface. The geotextile filter fabric will prevent loss of soil during drainage and drawdown. Gabion gravity retaining walls constructed without the placement of filter fabric will have a tendency to incur a loss of retained soils and grade elevation behind the gabion wall. The type of backfill soil specified will determine the type, and placement of the geotextile filter fabric.

Our G-TEX™ non-woven geo-textile fabrics are durable felt-like materials made by thermally bonding polypropylene fibers and finished with needle punching. The fabric resists ultraviolet deterioration, rotting, biological degradation encountered with alkalis and acids.
It is NTPEP certified and meets requirements as per AASHTO and D.O.T. Standards and commonly used for retaining soil and water drainage. Available in thicknesses range from 4 oz to16 oz per sq yd and rolls measuring 12.5 ft to 15 ft
The most common thicknesses relating to gabion and erosion control is 6oz or 8oz fabrics
