  • Patent number: 11873588
    Abstract: A woven geotextile fabric utilizes a plurality of yarns including machine direction field yarns, cross machine direction field yarns, machine direction rib yarns, and cross machine direction rib yarns. The plurality of yarns is integrally woven together. The machine direction rib yarns and the cross machine direction rib yarns cooperatively define an integrated geotextile grid integrally within the woven geotextile fabric. The machine direction field yarns and the cross machine direction field yarns cooperatively define fabric areas in a field of the integrated geotextile grid generally between the machine direction rib yarns and the cross machine direction rib yarns.
