Needle punched geocomposites are made from UV resistant woven fabrics and a non-woven fabric. Needle punched geocomposites can be used:
- As reinforced silt barriers to control turbidity and silt at its source and to contain silt runoff into streams.
- For floating silt curtains to effectively control pollution during dredging operations in low current and wave situations.
