The India Geosynthetics
market has seen substantial growth in recent years and is expected to excel
further in future, driven by increasing infrastructure development, sustainable
construction practices, environment concerns, advancements in geosynthetic technologies,
and expanding applications across various sectors.
Geosynthetics refer to
artificial polymeric (plastic) products that provide solutions for various
geotechnical problems during construction projects. They are available in
different forms, such as strips, three-dimensional structures, or planar. They
are designed to perform specific functions such as stabilization, separation,
reinforcement, drainage, filtration, containment of liquids, and erosion
control. Some products are even designed to provide multiple functions.
Geosynthetics have become increasingly popular in civil engineering due to
their ability to improve and enhance various construction works.
The use of geosynthetics
offers various advantages. For instance, it helps reduce the cost of
construction materials and installation work. They resist corrosion and are
robust and long-lasting. Geosynthetics are regarded as an all-purpose,
environmentally benign material suitable for various applications in
construction, facilitating expedited work. They offer higher quality, quicker
adoption and lower life-cycle costs for all infrastructure construction
projects. Additionally, they reduce the chance of human errors and have easy
design methodologies. They ensure consistency over a wide range of soils and
have minimal need of regular repair.
