There are numerous types of geosynthetics, including geotextiles, geo-membranes, geogrids, geosynthetic clay liners, drainage materials, geo-cells and erosion control products. Each has its own applications. Geotextiles are used for separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage and protection. Geomembranes are utilized for containment, lining and capping. Geogrids are exploited for reinforcement, asphalt overlay, waterproofing, separation and stabilization. Geosynthetic clay liners are applied for surface impoundment, secondary containment and landfill lining. Drainage materials are wielded for drainage. Geocells are employed for improving the structural and functional behavior of soils and aggregate infill materials. Erosion control products handle erosion protection. Each of these types of geosynthetics is featured in the 2022 Geosynthetics Specifiers Guide. The range of geosynthetic applications also justify three arms of the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) in Geosynthetics magazine, the Geosynthetic Materials Association (GMA) and geosynthetics conferences. |
