A retaining wall is defined as a structure that holds back the soil or other materials from collapsing. Since they handle lateral pressure, these structures need to be stable, must handle pressure despite changing climatic conditions and survive installation and regular wear and tear. These structures are erected to maintain soil stability on one side,… Continue reading When should you use geogrid for a retaining wall?
Pavements form an integral component of our transportation infrastructure. Depending on the type, while pavements can be made of different materials, cracks appear on paved asphalt roads or paved concrete roads typically. However, several factors affect the performance and lifespan of a pavement. This makes pavement cracking a significant concern for constructors. The core source… Continue reading What factors affect pavement life?
The emergence of geosynthetic materials has brought about a noticeable change in civil engineering as they address the industry’s technical and economic challenges. Geogrids are the backbone of this industry. These materials serve not only as a protective shield but also reinforce weak soils for stability and increase load-bearing capacity. In this blog post, we… Continue reading How is soil reinforcement done using geogrids?
If you’re in the midst of a construction project in a coastal area, prone to high water saturation and weak subgrades, what would you typically do for soil reinforcement? You may choose compaction, i.e. adding more soil to improve density. The other traditional option might be to add drainage by creating culverts, and or other… Continue reading What are the disadvantages of not using a geocell in road construction?
Have you driven past bridges and noted these blocks that fit like jigsaw puzzles under the bridge providing support? If you have –you have seen a pre-cast concrete block being used onsite. This is one of its most common applications as abutment walls, and/or retaining walls. Meaning of precast concrete blocks A precast concrete block… Continue reading What are the benefits of using precast concrete blocks?
How does landfill capping works? Today, globally, waste management is one of the biggest challenges in managing urban waste. With the increasing consumption rate of various goods and the manufacturing of those goods, a significant amount of waste is generated. If not managed properly, this waste can be hazardous to health and cause irreversible health… Continue reading How does landfill capping works?
What is landfill capping and why is it important? A landfill is a specially engineered area which is used by people to throw all the solid wastes, including household garbage, industrial waste, and construction debris, before burying them. Landfills are massive man made depressions constructed to minimize the impact on environmental and public health by… Continue reading What is landfill capping and why is it important?

Can road construction be carbon neutral? Road construction is rooted in resource intensive practices driven by the soil mechanics of where development occurs. Each geography comes with its own challenges, which typically have been met with traditional solutions. This is where pavement design and consulting with a leading manufacturer of geosynthetics such as Strata Geosystems… Continue reading Can road construction minimise carbon emissions?
What are geogrids and their uses? Synthetic materials called geogrids, a subclass of geosynthetics, are used in civil engineering to improve soil stability, offer reinforcement, and facilitate drainage. For certain uses, these mesh-like structures made of polymers like polyester, polypropylene, or polyethylene provide multidirectional strength and stability. When combined with the proper infill, geogrids—interconnected tensile… Continue reading What are the different types of geogrids?
