This applies to a range of applications, from roads, landfill and mining, to water containment, canals, erosion control, filtration and soil strengthening and separation. Let’s take a closer look…
While some geosynthetic applications are exposed to the environment and solar radiation, an estimated 85% are subterranean and protected from weather and human activities and the abrasion, ultraviolet light exposure and other influences that might reduce the durability of the geosynthetic and increase its rate of degradation.
Geosynthetics are sustainable and environmentally friendly materials that allow the construction of infrastructure with lower CO2 outputs, less energy usage and a variety of other benefits. Add to this the geosynthetic is not visible once construction is complete but endures for decades or centuries quietly fulfilling its function out of sight is yet another benefit of choosing geosynthetics.
Geosynthetic solutions should be fully investigated on every infrastructure project to ensure they meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
