As places with unfavourable natural conditions suitable for human activities?

Fifty four million nine hundred eighty seven thousand five hundred twelve



It is often necessary to build a particular structure in place, few are suitable for such purposes. The reason for this may be the slope of the soil, proximity to water and a number of other conditions that counteract the standard methods of construction. That is why in this area developed a complex of measures under the name geo-engineering. Its purpose is to change the climate in some places to counter them and creating a friendly and comfortable environment.

Features of the methodProducts of geoengineering are various materials that provide protective, reinforcing and filtering functions:

  • Geonet. Used for road construction with the aim of strengthening the asphalt concrete and prevent soil erosion.
  • Waterproofing. It includes paintings, profiles, belts, hoses, water resisting features.
  • Geotextile. Very dense synthetic material, widely used in various construction fields. It performs the function of reinforcement, filtration, erosion protection, drainage, insulation, etc.
  • Gabion. Grid design filled with stones or small gravel. Its purpose is the prevention of rock breaking, protection of slopes of ravines, banks of ponds.
  • Geogrid. Cellular structure, having high resistance to chemicals and microorganisms. Field of application is road construction, the formation of artificial reservoirs, landscape design. The grille prevents the shrinkage of loose-fill materials.
  • Geomembrane. Used in waterproofing roofs and swimming pools, to protect metal pipelines from corrosion, the pillars and foundations of buildings from the damaging effects of groundwater.

Today's geosynthetic products are indispensable in construction. Such materials allow us to explore new territory and build strong and durable buildings where it previously was not possible.
