Geosynthetics provide economic and technically advanced solutions in Earthworks and foundations. The general shortage of building land and the need to protect the environment mean more use has to be made of 'difficult' sites for building purposes. This gives rise to a continuously increasing demand for the industry to construct more earthworks on less suitable ground conditions. In these circumstances, the use of HUESKER geosynthetics can be very advantageous.

Construction works such as embankments on soft ground, extra-steep earthwork slopes (see animation), slope stabilisation, retaining walls, etc, can be designed and built in a safe, economical and environmentally-friendly manner. The use of geosynthetics also means: lower transport weights and better value for money, as removal or replacement of soils is not required and construction times are reduced.
