Municipal Projects

Geosynthetics have a wide range of applications in municipal projects. They are synthetic materials that are used in geotechnical and civil engineering applications to enhance the performance and longevity of various structures. Here are some common applications of geosynthetics in municipal projects:

Landfill Liners: Geosynthetics, such as geomembranes, are used in landfill liners to prevent the leaching of contaminants into the surrounding soil and groundwater. They provide a barrier against the migration of liquids and gases, thereby protecting the environment.

Road and Pavement Construction: Geosynthetics find extensive use in road and pavement construction projects. They are used as separation layers between the subgrade soil and aggregate base, providing filtration and preventing the mixing of materials. Geotextiles are commonly used for this purpose.

Erosion Control: Geosynthetics play a vital role in erosion control measures, such as slope stabilization and shoreline protection. They are used to reinforce soil, prevent soil erosion, and promote vegetation growth. Geosynthetic materials like geocells and erosion control blankets are commonly used for erosion control applications.

Stormwater Management: Geosynthetics are used in stormwater management systems to improve water quality and control the flow of stormwater. They are used in the construction of sedimentation ponds, infiltration basins, and subsurface drainage systems to enhance their performance and efficiency.
