The synthetic <br />fabrics reviewed include products from Gundle, Watersaver, Phillips Fabrics, and <br />Amoco. The material proposed by GAMBI is Phillips 66 Fabrisoil. Any <br />additional information can be forwarded at your request. <br />Material Limitations: <br />The main limitation noted for geotextiles is that they are difficult to handle <br />when it is windy. They also tear after a period of use, or due to negligence, and <br />have to be replaced. <br />Site -Specific Testings <br />Site-specific testing may be conducted to evaluate the synthetic fabric for <br />I.
