Geosynthetic materials, are formulated from polymers and are commonly used instead of natural materials (wood, vegetation, fibers) which biodegrade through time so as to solve problems encountered by engineers, as an integral part of a project, construction or system.
They are applied in geotechnical, environmental, transportation and hydraulic projects such as roads, railways, retaining walls, tunnels, landfills, drainage systems etc.
As far as pavements and railways are concerned, a combination of geogrids and geotextiles can be used to reduce the aggregate base layer and as a result minimize labor costs, whereas they increase the lifetime of the construction and control the ballast of the railway equally.
Thrace Nonwovens & Geosynthetics is going to sponsor the conference and ms. Stella Karavasili & mr. Slobodan Culic of Thrace NG will be presenting the “Use of Geosynthetics in Road and Railway Construction” on September the 23rd at the Great hall of ’’Railways Serbia’’.
