GEOSYNTHETICS FOR EMBANKMENTS

When constructing embankments over soft ground there is often a risk of foundation failure if the shear strength of the foundation material is exceeded. 

Geofabrics provides a range of soil reinforcement solutions including Solmax Mirafi PET woven geotextiles which can be placed at the base of the embankment to improve stability whilst reducing settlement timeframes.

For embankments that need to accommodate higher loads or steeper slopes, high-strength geogrids can be used to reinforce and stabilise the soil, and rock mattresses can provide erosion protection.

How Geofabrics can help with embankments:

• Extensive experience in developing temporary and permanent soil reinforcement measures
• Ensure the structural integrity of foundations
• Reduce time required for settling of soil
