In the USA, it has been standard practice to drive securing pins through overlaps in the geotextile filter, at 0. 6 to 1. 5 m centres, even if the joints are sewn or heat-bonded. With unbounded rip-rap on some sites, there is a tendency for the stone to move after placement as it settles into its final resting position. As this has been found to cause tears in the geotextile at the securing pins, it now appears safer to place the geotextile fairly loosely over the prepared surface, using the minimum possible number of securing pins.

OBS

Pose et assemblage des géotextiles [...] Le sens de superposition des géotextiles sera choisi de manière à empêcher leur soulèvement lors de la mise en œuvre du matériau d'apport. Si le géotextile est posé en surface, il faudra le maintenir en place par liaison entre nappes, fixation au sol et par ancrage (tranchée) en bordure de l'aire de stockage.

OBS

Pose et assemblage des géotextiles : les géotextiles doivent plaquer le mieux possible aux parois du tunnel afin d'assurer à satisfaction leur fonction de drain. L'assemblage des nappes s'effectue en général par recouvrement (min. 0.30 m). Les géotextiles sont fixés aux parois du tunnel par des goujons mis en place au pistolet et par des rondelles de PVC.
