Geotextile-Geogrid Geocomposites Provide Reinforcement And Stabilization Under Railway Tracks

Geocomposite is a material made up of at least one layer of geosynthetic (polymeric) materials, such as geogrid, geomembrane, and geotextile, and another material, such as steel cables, deformed plastic sheets, or steel anchors. Geocomposites are used in a variety of construction projects, including structural fill, bridge abutments, tunnel and tunnel repair, light-weight void fill, metro underground stations, and railroad tunnels. Under railway tracks, geotextile-geogrid geocomposites are utilised to provide reinforcement and stabilisation.

Additionally, these serve as a sub-grade while offering a lateral drainage system and a filter divider between ballast. A geocomposite product is made up of a variety of geosynthetic materials, such as geonet, geomembrane, geotextile, and geogrid, that are linked together so that specific applications can be assigned with the least amount of work, material loss, and time. Applications for Geocomposites include filtration, drainage, and pollution. One of the primary drivers of geocomposite’s expanding demand globally has been its use in the drainage system.
