What is geo synthesis?
Geosynthetics are synthetic products used to stabilize terrain. They are generally polymeric products used to solve civil engineering problems. This includes eight main product categories: geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembranes, geosynthetic clay liners, geofoam, geocells and geocomposites.
Are geosynthetics eco friendly?
They offer technically efficient, cost-effective, environmentally friendly and/or energy-efficient alternative solutions to many field problems in the areas of civil, mining, agricultural and aquacultural engineering. Geosynthetics help conserve energy and promote more durable and sustainable structures.
What are the types of geo synthetic?
They include geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs), geocomposite sheet drains, geocomposite strip (wick) drains, geocells, erosion control products and HDPE vertical barrier systems.
Geo synthetics garden uses.
Geosynthetics play an important role within landscaping projects, whether the need be for erosion control, tree root protection, earth stabilisation, permeable paving, ground stabilisation, green roofs or drainage ponds and swales.
There are five main functions of geosynthetic materials: to separate dissimilar geomaterials; to reinforce soil masses; to act as a filter in controlling the transport of solid particles within the soil; to provide drainage pathways within the soil mass; or to impede fluid flow by acting as a containment/flow barrier.
Geofoam is a lightweight, foamed polymeric material (typically polystyrene) that is formed into large lightweight blocks, typically on the order of 1 ± 0.25 m × 0.75 ± 0.25 m × 2.5 ± 0.5 m, for use as a replacement for soil fill and/or as an insulator.
What is the advantage of geosynthetic?
The advantages of geosynthetic options not only lies in the fact that they are easy to use but also in their cost-effectiveness: certainly less expensive, they provide excellent performance that remains unchanged over time. Furthermore, their versatile use makes them the ideal solution to various on-site problems.
