Geosynthetics - Key Trends and Drivers
Geosynthetics are synthetic materials used in civil engineering and environmental projects to enhance soil stability, provide erosion control, and improve drainage. These materials include geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, geonets, and geocomposites, each serving specific functions depending on the application. Geotextiles, for example, are permeable fabrics used to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain soil. Geomembranes, on the other hand, are impermeable membranes used primarily for containment and environmental protection, such as in landfill liners and pond liners. Geogrids are utilized for soil reinforcement in retaining walls and subgrade stabilization. The versatility and durability of geosynthetics make them indispensable in modern construction and environmental management, offering cost-effective solutions that extend the life and functionality of infrastructure projects.Technological advancements in geosynthetics have significantly improved their performance and broadened their application scope.
