Geo-synthetics
Product Introduction

    Taiwan features its mountainous, rocky topography as well as its rainy and stormy climate, coupled with high population density and frequent road development. Going with the development of geo-synthetic materials, a considerable number of infrastructure adopt geo-synthetics. Particularly in corresponding to the rising eco-conscious environment, the applications of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering Act are known as the "ecological bioengineering. At present, either the Japanese national Railways, the major road development of U.S. states, the world-famous scenery Switzerland or some other developed countries widely replaced the traditional civil hydraulic grid type, grouting, ground anchor and RC retaining walls and other traditional engineering. Those methods not only damage the natural environment with the concrete structure but also ruin the sceneries. Instead, synthetic materials now are regarded as environment-protecting materials. They can provide with soft fabric and combines with a special structure of the work of Civil and Hydraulic engineering methods. It is able to fits into the terrain or the natural environment. And it can ultimately reach the structural safety while growing the nature. The most important effect is that it maintains the natural landscape without damaging it.

    The geo-textiles produced in factories could be subject to more stringent quality control for better land protection. As proved, geo-textiles provide better protecting function than the conventional rigid materials such as concrete because geo-textile can merge with the natural landscape.
    In Taiwan, geo-textiles have been increasingly applied to various public constructions. As we have foreseen, the future of the global civil engineering will put more attention and resource on the applications like general roads, railways and highways, etc.; and in the earth civil engineering applications, more applications are for river and coast protections, water conservation and reservoir construction.

Applications:
Earth Civil Engineering: general roads, railways highways, slopes and retaining walls.
River-and-coast Engineering: rivers, coastlines, reservoirs, harbors
