Functions of geosynthetics
REINFORCEMENT FOR WALLS AND STEEP SLOPES
MONO-DIRECTIONAL GEOGRIDS, WOVEN GEOTEXTILE
Improve the mechanical performances of the soil adding tensile strength
BASE REINFORCEMENT
BI-ORIENTED GEOGRIDS THREE DIMENSIONAL GEOGRIDS, GEOCOMPOSITES, GEOTEXTILES
Improve the bearing capacity, reduce the settlements and the formation of holes and ruts
DRAINAGE
GEONETS, GEOCOMPOSITES
Collect and transport rain waters, ground waters and other fluids or gas
EROSION CONTROL
GEOMATS, GEOCELLS, BIOMATS, BIONETS
Prevent the detachment and transport of the soil caused by meteoric events and allow the vegetation growth
CONFINEMENT
GEOCELLS
Prevent the lateral movements of the soil volumes confined inside
FILTRATION
GEOTEXTILES, GEOCOMPOSITES
Retain the soil subject to hydrodynamic forces and allow the passage of fluids
SEPARATION
GEOTEXTILES, GEOCOMPOSITES
Prevent the contamination between two different soils or materials with different granulometry
PROTECTION
NON-WOVEN GEOTEXTILES, GEONETS, GEOCOMPOSITES
Prevent mechanical damage to structures and materials
WATERPROOFING
GEOMEMBRANES, GEOCOMPOSITES
Prevent or limit the migration of fluids
