This Hi-Vis Non-Woven Orange Geotextile is designed to provide a visible barrier between contaminated and clean soils. Its standout orange colour serves as a warning layer during future excavation work, while also helping to prevent the upward migration of pollutants through the soil profile.
Clear visual indicator for contaminated ground
Separates clean and contaminated soil layers
Prevents mixing of adjacent soil materials
Quick to install and handle on site
Available in 4.5m x 100m rolls
Lightweight and easy to cut
The membrane is typically used in brownfield developments, construction on ex-industrial land, and any project involving known or suspected contaminated soils. Its dual-purpose function provides:
A warning layer to alert future contractors during excavation
A separation barrier to maintain the integrity of clean fill or sub-base materials
Contamination Control: Limits the migration of heavy metals, hydrocarbons and other pollutants into clean layers
Cost-Effective: Avoids full-site excavation by isolating affected zones
Time-Saving: Lightweight and easy to install with minimal training required
High Visibility: Supports HSE guidance for risk mitigation during groundworks

Woven geotextiles offer high tensile strength and are typically used for reinforcement, while non-woven variants like this one focus on separation and filtration with better permeability.
Yes, its bright orange colour makes it ideal as a visual warning for contaminated land, even if there is no active containment required.
While short-term exposure is acceptable during installation, this product is intended for buried applications and is not UV-stabilised for prolonged surface exposure.
Yes, all properties are tested to relevant EN ISO standards and suitable for use in most UK ground engineering applications.
Absolutely – it’s easy to trim with a utility knife or shears to suit your trench or surface layout.
