Geosynthetics

Geosynthetics are synthetic materials used in civil engineering and environmental applications to improve the mechanical properties of soil, control erosion, and provide separation, filtration, drainage, and reinforcement functions. They are typically made from polymers such as polypropylene, polyester, or polyethylene and come in various forms, including geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, and geocells. Geosynthetics are used in a wide range of infrastructure projects, including roads, railways, landfills, retaining walls, dams, and coastal protection structures. They offer cost-effective solutions for enhancing the performance and longevity of civil engineering works while minimizing environmental impact.
