WINFAB proudly manufactures geotextiles that are fully compliant with the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act. As an American-owned manufacturer, we recognize the significance of BABA compliance and its impact on geotextiles and erosion control products used in federally funded projects. If BABA compliance is required, be sure to look for the “-USA” suffix on the product style name before making a purchase.
Important Note:
To ensure BABA compliance is appropriately documented and maintained throughout the manufacturing process, it is essential to specify BABA (along with any other relevant regulatory requirements) at the time of quotation and order placement with WINFAB.
Understanding BABA and Its Impact on Geotextiles and Erosion Control Products
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), signed into law in November 2021, introduced the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), which mandates that all infrastructure projects receiving federal financial assistance use domestically produced products. This includes geotextiles and erosion control products, which are vital in many civil engineering projects. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), geosynthetics, including many of WINFAB’s products, are classified as construction materials under BABA guidelines, primarily due to their polymer-based nature.
WINFAB’s Commitment to BABA Compliance
At WINFAB, we have created the “-USA” product line to ensure compliance with the BABA Act and its associated regulations. Our products with the “-USA” suffix are specifically designed to meet the BABA documentation standards, ensuring full transparency and traceability throughout the production process. This allows our customers to confidently meet regulatory requirements while using high-quality materials. Our “-USA” geotextiles are proudly manufactured at our facilities in Nashville, GA, and Willacoochee, GA, with documentation on every product to confirm compliance. From quotation to shipping, WINFAB ensures that BABA compliance is maintained.
