Karen Whitney Tel. The procedure shows remarkable promise for modern highway construction and could cost millions less than current methods.
Geosynthetic reinforcements are polymer plastic materials in the form of sheets or grids.
Metal strips or wire mesh can also be used for reinforcement material. There is also considerable evidence that GRS technology has seismic protection potential. The walls can also be constructed with decorative block patterns to enhance the aesthetics of the surroundings. With GRS, the strength and soundness of the structure comes from proper spacing of the reinforcement materials and the quality and compaction of the gravel soil fill. The reinforcement materials confine the soil so that the structure is internally supported.
