Soil Strengthening and Stabilization

Geosynthetics Application
Soil Strengthening and Stabilization

Ground reinforcement is carried out on low bearing capacity floors, when problems may arise that affect parking, highway and structures with traffic flow and cause uncontrolled settlements.

It is widely used as an engineering solution for reinforcing unbonded layers on highways, airports, railways, parking structures and other trafficked surfaces. The use of geosynthetics for stabilization, separation and confinement reduces the overall construction depth required and extends the life of surfaces, positively impacting the life and cost of projects to meet economic and environmental standards.

The application of geosynthetics as reinforcement and stabilization of roads allows to significantly increase the carrying capacity, as well as increase the safety of these infrastructures. A geosynthetic engineering design saves on materials handling, reduces costs and construction times, as well as reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional construction techniques, ensuring performance and lifespan according to the project's requirements.

Materials used in Soil Strengthening and Stabilization

In Soil Strengthening and Stabilization applications, first of all, the condition of the existing application area should be investigated. Appropriate material and application selection should be made according to soil density, moisture and soil properties and necessary work should be done.

After choosing the soil structure and application method, for soil reinforcement and stabilization. Dratech Drainage Boards, Geotech Geotextiles and Fortech Geogrids used. Also for ground on some highways Celltech Erosion Control Product the one which... Geocell available.
