polypropylene / polyester mix. The geotextile shall be ultra violet light stabilised using
an approved method such as incorporation of 1% by mass of carbon black.

The Geotextile being proposed shall have the following properties:

i. Permeability of Geotextile > 10x permeability of underlying subsoil.

ii. Pore size, O90 of Geotextile < D50 of subsoil

iii. Weight >1,000g/m2

iv. Thickness > 5.0mm

v. Tensile Strength > 30kN/m longitudinal, > 60kN/m transverse

vi. CBR puncture resistance > 5.0kN

vii. Permeability l/m2/s under 50mm head < 30

viii. Mean minimum tensile extension > 70%

ix. Mean maximum Cone Drop perforation hole diameter < 1mm

x. Mean minimum CBR puncture displacement > 60mm

xi. Maximum thickness reduction under pressure increase from 2kPa to 200kPa <55%

xii. UV degradation <50% at 500 hours

7. Material Data Sheet

The CONTRACTOR shall submit to the ENGINEER for approval a sample of the
proposed geotextile, of minimum size 300mm x 300mm, together with a material
property data sheet. The data sheet shall be substantiated by an index and
performance compliance certificate issued by an accredited geotextile filter fabric
testing organisation e.g. the German Bundesanstalt für Wasserbau (BAW) and shall
contain the properties stated in Clause GTX 1.2.
