Geosynthetic Application | How "Wrap-Around Facing Reinforced Soil Structure" is done?

Reinforced Soil Structure with Wrap-Around Facing
Concept
Filled soil bag wrapped around by the reinforcing geogrid forming the facing of the retaining wall. The wall surface can be vegetated for natural appearance. This has become a popular construction method due to its simple installation, construction efficiency, and applicability to different terrains.

Application
Collapsed area restoration, retaining wall, road embankment, riverbank, and landfill etc.

Characteristics
1. Stable structure formed by in-situ soil.
2. Relatively cost-efficient.
3. Easy installation and less impact to the environment.
4. Suitable for most landforms.
5. Wall surface can be vegetated for natural appearance finish.

The official website of the ACE Geosynthetics EcoPark is now online. More than 20 engineering application methods can be found in the park. They can be divided into six groups, including Reinforcement Application, Erosion Control, Shore Protection, Landscape Engineering, Environmental Conservation and Other Constructions. The site covers construction works like mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, road embankments, reinforced pavements, landfills, slope protection, ecological ponds, levees, marine structures, and more. Geosynthetic materials such as geogrids, geotextiles, geotextile tubes, geomats and geomembranes have been used in the building of this park.

Geosynthetic products have been in the market for decades. However, many people still do not know what geosynthetics are and what they can do for engineering and construction. The application of geosynthetics can provide more efficient and environmentally friendly approaches to engineering problems.

ACE Geosynthetics designed and constructed this full-scale park to demonstrate some practical designs and applications of geosynthetic systems. The park also advocates for lower environmental impact in construction methods. Of course, there is far more for the visitor to discover. Detailed explanations, such as design drawings, 3D models, construction instructions, construction videos, case studies etc. are offered in the website.
