Waik'.vavs and Grassed Areas <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The solving of potential problems s an imoor- <br />tant function of the landscape arcnitect. <br />TREVIRA Spunbond is an effective tool to be <br />used in the solution of many of these problems. <br />Hoechst Fibers Industries has undertaken an <br />extensive effort to incorporate proven TREVIRA <br />Spunbond engineering fabrics or geotextiles in ­ <br />to the landscape industry to assist in reducing <br />the cost of resolving many of the architect's <br />troublesome areas. <br />Such innovative incorporations of TREVIRA <br />Spunbond include: <br />1. Retaining water (pond liners) <br />2. Providing erosion control <br />3. Waterproof planters <br />4. Soil separation for turf blocks <br />5. Walkways <br />6. Weed control <br />7. Retaining walls <br />BACKGROUND <br />TREVIRA Spunbond has been successfully us­ <br />ed in a host of engineering applications, in ­ <br />cluding: <br />1. Access road stabilization <br />2. Erosion control <br />3. Asphalt concrete overlays <br />4. Drainage control <br />5. Railroad subgrades <br />6. Retention systems <br />7. Golf courses <br />TREVIRA Spunbond has been successfully <br />utilized in these applications due to TREVIRA’s <br />unique combination of physical character ­ <br />istics. <br />TREVIRA Spunbond literature is available for <br />each of these successful engineering uses. <br />This guide will specifically address the needs <br />of the landscape industry. Both architects and <br />8/82 Rev. 2/83 <br />Puilcers .vill be served bv this installation <br />guide. <br />POND LINERS <br />PROBLEM: <br />Maintain a source of .vater for irrigation and <br />fire protection, as well as reduce weed growth. <br />SOLUTION I: <br />After proper grading and trencnmg. place <br />TREVIRA Sounbond and Impregnate with <br />sealer. <br />4 <br />12' Sa.nd Layer <br />Trevira Sounbond <br />♦ Sealer <br />Comoacted Soil <br />Figure 1 — TREVIRA Sounbond for Pond Liners <br />BENEFITS: <br />Coated TREVIRA Spunbond provides the water <br />retention needed at an economical cost. <br />SOLUTION II: <br />Place TREVIRA Spunbond in conjunction with <br />the light duty pond liners as a substrate at the <br />site. Typically, a light duty membrane pond <br />liner is placed on a graded pond base. TREVIRA <br />Spunbond placed between the soil and mem­ <br />brane can provide a protective separation layer. <br />BENEFITS; <br />TREVIRA'^' Spunbond provides separation and <br />reinforcement, adding to the life of the pond <br />liner. <br />LA-i
