Combigrid applications for geogrid/geocomposite in pavement construction
August 10th, 2023
Geogrid reinforcement and stabilization is used in roadways in two major applications: base reinforcement/stabilization and subgrade stabilization. In base reinforcement/stabilization, the geogrid is placed within or at the bottom of a pavement system to improve the load-carrying capacity and reduce the deformation of the pavement under repeated traffic as well as help control expansive subgrade […]

Mining tailings management with geosynthetics
June 30th, 2021
Tailings are by-products, the materials that remain after the process of separating the target mineral from the uneconomic fraction of an ore. They are different from the waste rock or other material that overlies an ore or mineral body, which are displaced during mining without being processed. Tailings can be liquid, solid or a slurry […]
