- Filtration: using its transversal permeability, it allows the passage of water for its conduction, retaining the fine particles of the soil, which is achieved according to the size of the pore.
- Separation: avoids the mixing of particles from different soils. It prevents contact between non-compatible materials. Acts as a permeable barrier between soils of different structure.
- Drainage: provides tensile strength for embankments and slopes in roads and ecological walls.
- Reinforcement: provides punching and tensile strength for decks (including bridges), embankments and slopes in roads and ecological walls.
