The Economic Matrix: Factors That Drive Geotextile Fabric Price and Value
Geotextile fabric is the new age staple for the construction of civil engineering, infrastructural and residential landscaping projects. However, it is not just a cloth but a polymer-engineered solution for filtration, separation, reinforcement and drainage. Hence, the cost of a geotextile sheet is not a catch but a dynamic one calculated based on the performance and extent of use in demanding applications. By comprehending these cost drivers engineers, contractors, and the public can be confident of their procurement decisions that not only consider the cost but also the lasting value, durability, and project requirements. The Fundamental Factor: Material Type and Manufacturing Process The most substantial factor behind geotextile prices is the kind of polymer and a method of its production. There are two main types of polymers: Polypropylene (PP) and Polyester (PET). PP-based fabrics are usually cheaper and more appropriate for the separation and light stabilization of the soil, wher...
