Huesker, a global manufacturer of geosynthetics and technical textiles, explains how incorporating geosynthetic material can boost a project's environmental credentials*. For example, urgently needed temporary utility roads, construction roads and work platforms can be quickly and safely constructed with geogrids or reinforcing mesh - even in very soft soils. Temporary storage of waste and contaminated sludge is also possible thanks to geosynthetic contaminant barriers, filters and sludge dewatering hoses. The construction of the new Swistbach Bridge in Heimerzheim, 30km from Cologne, is a case in point. The bridge, which carries the L182 highway over the Swistbach River, was completely destroyed due to flooding, resulting in the need for a totally new structure. After a record construction time of just three months, the new bridge was reopened to traffic last December. |
