Geosynthetic erosion control mats help nature to establish a natural, vegetation cover, as it : acts as an artificial root-system holds soil particles and seeds reduces water and wind velocities creates a micro-climate and favours germination of seeds and growth reinforces the vegetation cover in the root-zone
Another usage of geosynthetics materials are in steel water reservoirs. These are very practical and easy to use water storage systems. They come with all the parts inside and you construct it on site. Their heights are upto 4.64 meters and diameters vary from 1.85 to 30.95 meters. Inside the steel construction there is a nonwoven geotextile liner to protect the waterproof tank liner. The ...
Instead of using traditional (mineral) products if we use geosynthetics materials for the capping of waste disposal areas we may have extra storage. So, to use geosynthetics has economic advantages against the traditional products. Also it is more easy to use geosynthetics (geotextiles, geomembranes, geogrids, geocomposites, geomats). On the picture above you can see a simple comparison of “traditional” mineral- and “geosynthetic” capping of landfills. ...
