Geomembranes and geotextiles are important materials in athletic field construction and maintenance. They can help improve drainage, prevent soil erosion, and even provide long-term durability for your athletic field. Geomembranes and geotextiles can also make a positive impact on the overall safety and performance of athletic fields.
Here’s a closer look:
What Is A Geomembrane?
A geomembrane is a synthetic barrier designed to control the movement of water in outdoor environments. Geomembranes are known for their durability, chemical resistance, and high tensile strength. This makes them great for diverting drainage away from athletic fields on days with heavy rainfall.
What Is A Geotextile?
Geotextiles are synthetic fabrics used to improve soil stability, control erosion, and enhance drainage. Since geotextiles are made from synthetic materials, they are less susceptible to biodegradation. Their design allows water to pass through while still maintaining the integrity of the athletic field and the soil below it.

Benefits of Geomembranes and Geotextiles
Both geomembranes and geotextiles play important roles in athletic field construction. Geomembranes are ideal for managing stormwater surges and preventing water from seeping into the ground, which can compromise the stability of the field. Geotextiles provide a stable base that allows water to pass over without causing soil erosion, which ensures that the field remains in good condition.
When geomembranes and geotextiles are used together, construction professionals are able to create the ideal environment on which to build their athletic field without having to worry about degradation over time.
