ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS
Geosynthetic Solutions for Engineering Applications
Material selection begins with the application, required engineering function, site conditions and project specification. Explore documented application contexts across containment, water, civil infrastructure, reinforcement, drainage and separation.
Engineering functions
- Containment
- Reinforcement
- Drainage
- Filtration & Separation
APPLICATION OVERVIEW
Six Application Contexts for Project Review
Use the application context to identify relevant product families, then review the project specification and site requirements before final material selection.
CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS
Environmental and Industrial Containment Contexts
Containment systems can combine barrier, interface, protection, filtration and drainage functions. The appropriate product combination remains dependent on the engineering design and project specification.
Application 01
Landfill & Environmental Containment
Relevant functions include lining, protection, separation, filtration and drainage for landfill treatment and environmental engineering contexts.
- Landfill treatment and containment layers
- Municipal and environmental engineering
- Drainage and filtration components
Application 02
Mining, Tailings & Industrial Containment
Documented contexts include tailings treatment, red-mud stacks and seepage or pollution-control requirements around metallurgical, petrochemical and ash-dam works.
- Tailings and red-mud stack treatment
- Metallurgical and petrochemical seepage control
- Power-plant ash-dam contexts
WATER & CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE
Materials for Water and Infrastructure Functions
Water and civil works may require containment, separation, reinforcement, protection or drainage. Product selection should follow the required function, site conditions and engineering documents.
Application 03
Water Conservancy, Reservoirs & Aquaculture
Supported contexts include reservoirs, canals, dykes, dams, water-conservancy works and aquaculture, with the required function defined by the project.
- Reservoirs and water impoundment
- Canals, dykes and dams
- Water-conservancy and aquaculture works
Application 04
Transportation & Civil Infrastructure
Roads, railways, tunnels, municipal works, ports and airports can use different geosynthetic functions according to the civil design and construction context.
- Road and railway infrastructure
- Tunnels and municipal works
- Ports, airports and runways
REINFORCEMENT, DRAINAGE & SEPARATION
Functional Layers for Soil and Water Management
Geosynthetic systems can provide reinforcement, protection, drainage, filtration or separation functions across slopes, embankments and civil works.
Application 05
Slopes, Embankments & Reinforcement
Supported contexts include slopes, stepped slopes, embankments, dams, retaining walls and reinforced-earth or subgrade applications.
- Slope and stepped-slope laying
- Embankments, dykes and dams
- Retaining walls and subgrade reinforcement
Reinforcement context
Roadbed and Earth Structure Reinforcement
Geogrid and geotextile product families are documented for roadbed, retaining-wall, embankment and related reinforcement contexts.
- Roadbed reinforcement
- Reinforced-earth retaining walls
- Embankment and dam contexts
Application 06
Drainage, Filtration & Separation
Geotextile and composite drainage products can form functional layers for water conveyance, soil retention, separation and drainage.
- Subgrade and tunnel drainage
- Filtration and soil retention
- Separation and isolation layers
PRODUCT SELECTION BY APPLICATION
Connect the Required Function to the Product Family
An application category is a starting point, not a final product specification. Review the site condition, required function, dimensions, project documents and acceptance requirements before selection.
