Buildspan Orange Alarm is a high-performance woven indicator geotextile made from durable polypropylene slit-film yarns. It provides excellent tensile strength and low elongation, making it ideal for soil reinforcement in civil engineering and environmental projects.
The woven construction delivers outstanding load distribution, soil separation and ground reinforcement. As a result, our Orange Alarm often outperforms many non-woven geotextile alternatives. Its bright orange colour creates a highly visible warning layer. Consequently, contractors can quickly identify buried utilities, contaminated land, archaeological areas and other underground hazards during excavation.
Buildspan Orange Alarm offers long-term durability in demanding ground conditions. It resists chemical degradation, biological attack and UV exposure. Therefore, it maintains its performance throughout its service life. It is predicted to last up to 100 years in natural soils (pH 4–9, ≤25°C).
In addition, the controlled pore structure allows water to flow through the geotextile while preventing soil particles from migrating. This helps maintain effective drainage and supports long-term ground stability. As a result, projects benefit from consistent and predictable performance.
Buildspan Orange Alarm is suitable for:
- Roads and trafficked areas
- Railway construction projects
- Earthworks, foundations and retaining structures
- Drainage and filtration systems
- Erosion control applications
- Reservoirs, dams and canals
- Solid and liquid waste containment facilities
