The Geomat-ACE Geosynthetics EcoPark serves as a showcase for the various geosynthetic applications that can be utilized in the construction industry. The website provides an interactive web design that explains over 20 geosynthetic applications through detailed explanations, 3D models, construction instructions/videos, panorama photos, case studies, and carbon footprint calculation results. The applications are divided into six categories: Reinforcement application, Erosion Control, Shore Protection, Landscape Engineering, Environmental Conservation, and Other Constructions.
Reinforcement application involves using geosynthetic materials to reinforce and stabilize soil structures, particularly those composed of loose or soft soil. Geotextiles, geogrids, and geotextile tubes are some of the commonly used geosynthetic materials in reinforcement applications. These materials add strength and stability to soil structures, improving their load-bearing capacity.
Erosion control is another important application of geosynthetics. Geomats, turf reinforcement mats, erosion control blankets, rolled erosion control products, and geotextile tubes are some of the materials used to prevent or control soil erosion. These materials help to minimize the effects of water or wind on soil, ensuring the stability of soil structures.
Shore protection is a crucial application of geosynthetics, particularly in coastal areas where rising sea levels and frequent storms have eroded the shorelines. Geotextile tubes are used to protect shorelines from erosion and to stabilize coastal structures such as groins, jetties, and seawalls. These materials help to maintain the structural integrity of coastal structures, reducing the risk of damage and loss in the event of storms or sea level rise.
Landscape engineering is another area where geosynthetics find application. These materials offer solutions for creating green spaces, such as parks, gardens, and recreational facilities. For example, geotextiles are used as planting media for green walls, while geocells are used to create terraces for plant growth.
Environmental conservation is a growing concern and an area where geosynthetics play an increasingly important role. Landfill construction and management require the use of geomembranes, geotextiles, and geosynthetic clay liners to prevent the seepage of landfill leachate into nearby water sources. Erosion control mats, grass pavers, and geotextiles are also used in land reclamation projects to reduce soil erosion and promote vegetation growth.
The Geomat-ACE Geosynthetics EcoPark not only demonstrates the various geosynthetic applications but also highlights the benefits of using geosynthetic materials. These materials not only provide strength and stability to soil structures, but also offer environmental benefits. They reduce the amount of concrete, asphalt, and other non-renewable materials used in construction, reduce the carbon footprint of construction, minimize soil erosion and protect water quality.
