Hydraulic engineering with Geosynthetics

Hydraulic engineering with Geosynthetics

Geosynthetics are used in every major sector of civil en-gineering. One that has grown substantially in importance is hydraulic engineering. Flooding, coastal erosion, more frequent and intense storms, tsunami triggered flash-floods, expected sea-level rise, natural disaster preven tion and other infrastructure concerns have prompted a call for solutions that are extremely durable, minimize a con-struction’s carbon footprint, require less land disturbance, and are easier to implement. The sheer scale of needs in hydraulic infrastructure also puts an emphasis on finding economical solutions without sacrificing safety and long-term performance.

The performance, adaptable design options, and econom-ics of geosynthetics have brought them into hydraulic en-gineering projects more each year.
