Geogrids and high strength woven fabrics are used for a wide assortment of reinforcement applications, including embankments over soft soils, levees and retaining walls.
Geosynthetics are well-suited to construction of walls with timber, precast panel and segmental block facing.
Geosynthetics make retaining walls financially feasible. In fact, a geosynthetic retaining wall can be built for less than half the cost of a conventional wall.
Our woven geosynthetics offer other significant advantages over conventional methods, such as simplified installation and construction, and the ability to use on-site backfill material.
Owners and builders like the fact that polypropylene geosynthetics cost approximately half the amount of polyester and polyethylene geogrids, and they require considerably less labor to install.
Engineers like the technical literature that documents the anchorage capacity, connection strength, and long-term design strength of geosynthetics.
This information allows them to use AASHTO, FHWA, NCMA and US Forest Service design methods. Our technical service support can help you select the property values required for each.
