Geosynthetics are high-performance polymeric materials used in road construction to increase structural strength, improve environmental stability, and extend the lifespan of roads. Their design allows them to perform specific functions such as reinforcement, filtration, drainage, protection, and layer separation, positioning them as an efficient solution within road infrastructure development. The use of geosynthetics has gained prominence in recent decades due to their multiple advantages over conventional methods. Among the most notable benefits are their quick installation, optimization of construction resources, reduction of operational costs, and significantly lower environmental impact, factors that address current demands for sustainability and innovation in civil engineering projects.

Casma River Riverside Defense Project - Ancash, Peru.
The project presented a critical technical challenge: the presence of oversaturated soft soils in the area where the proposed dam was to be constructed, on which fill material would be placed.This condition prevented achieving the required density to ensure greater shear strength, thus compromising the stability and structural performance of the dam during its operational phase.To overcome this limitation, a working platform was built on the soft ground, allowing the base to be stabilized and providing adequate support for the dam’s fill layers.This technical solution made it possible to achieve the maximum densities specified in the project requirements, ensuring the dam’s integrity and the efficiency of the construction process.
Hollemberg River – Pérez River Path Project, Province of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica, Chile.
The construction of a new road faced complex geotechnical conditions as it was built over peat soils. This situation posed a significant risk to the stability of the road and the durability of the infrastructure in the medium and long term.To mitigate these limitations, a reinforcement system was implemented, composed of drainable granular material combined with geosynthetics, integrating a non-woven geotextile and an HDPE geocell. This solution allowed for efficient load distribution, improved drainage, and increased the load-bearing capacity of the soil, optimizing the structural performance of the road from its construction stage.
