The mining industry faces efficiency, safety and sustainability challenges. In this context, geosynthetics in mining, such as geotextiles and geogrids, have become key allies to optimize construction and environmental processes. These innovative solutions offer multiple benefits over traditional techniques, allowing for better ground control, tailings management, and the use of geotextiles and geogrids....

A growing challenge: protecting river banks In a world where extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, geocontainers for river bank rehabilitation are presented as a smart solution to protect rivers and water bodies, reducing erosion and strengthening infrastructure. Traditional solutions, such as riverbanks, have been...

In a reinforced soil structure, proper water management reduces the risk of saturation, minimizes hydrostatic pressure and prevents problems such as erosion or even structural collapse. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), well-designed drainage systems are indispensable to the success of any infrastructure project with soils....

Hydrotube geotextile tubes are an efficient solution for erosion control, hydraulic protection and sludge dewatering in infrastructure and mining projects. Their performance depends directly on a correct installation and filling process, as this guarantees the stability of the structure and the retention of solids. Below, you will find...

TRM erosion control blankets are essential in the protection of bare slopes exposed to rainfall or surface runoff. These terrains, especially those with low cohesion soils, often suffer laminar erosion, a process characterized by the uniform loss of fine particles that compromises soil stability and hinders the establishment...

Reinforced soil walls are an efficient and sustainable solution for construction in challenging terrain. These structures offer stability in retaining walls, slopes and embankments, even in soft soils. However, when located in areas with a high risk of flooding, additional criteria must be applied to ensure their performance and durability.....

1. Effect of reinforcement FORTGRID BX biaxial geogrids are commonly installed at the interface between the base and subbase, between the subbase and subgrade, or within the granular base itself. This significantly reduces the stresses transmitted to the subgrade compared to unreinforced sections (Figure 1). ...

Geogrid reinforcement of asphalt layers has established itself as an effective solution for improving structural performance and extending the service life of pavements. These structures, placed between layers of asphalt mix, control crack propagation, reduce permanent deformation and increase resistance to cyclic loading. In this article...

In hydraulic engineering, ensuring bed stability in rivers, canals and drainage works is a priority. Bed protection with geosynthetics has become a key strategy to mitigate problems such as erosion, scour and excessive flow velocities, which can lead to structural failures, material losses and alterations...

Haya de la Torre Avenue, located in the Constitutional Province of Callao, plays a strategic role within the urban road system, since it serves as an access and exit route for heavy cargo transportation, especially to the port's warehouses and terminals. In order to address the deterioration of this road, it was considered the...
