Orange Demarcation Geotextiles

In both excavation and remediation projects, preventing damage is essential. Preventing accidental damage to underground utilities, archaeological sites, or other buried structures is a top priority. Orange demarcation geotextiles play a critical role in protecting these essential and sometimes sensitive sites by providing a highly visible warning layer. Their vibrant orange color serves as an alert to workers, signaling them to stop digging to avoid potential damage.

What Are Orange Demarcation Geotextiles?

Demarcation geotextiles are specialized fabrics designed to create a distinct, visible separation layer within soil. In remediation sites, they’re used to mark the boundary between contaminated soil and clean backfill, ensuring safe and clear delineation. Available in both woven and nonwoven varieties, orange demarcation geotextiles can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each project. They offer both durability and flexibility in their design.

• Damage Prevention for Utilities and Archaeological Sites: By marking critical areas, demarcation geotextiles help protect valuable utilities, historic artifacts, and other sensitive buried materials.
• Contaminated Soil Demarcation: The fabric creates a visible layer between contaminated soil and clean backfill, making remediation projects more efficient and safer.
