Reinforced Soil Structure with Gabion Facing
Concept
Gabion filled with in-situ gravel provides a porous and natural facing to the reinforced structure, keeps the structure in harmony with the surrounding environment.
Application
High water table area, hilly road, revetment with ecological demand, and areas where cobbles can be easily found.
Characteristics
1. Stable structure can be achieved by applying small amount of wire mesh.
2. Keeping the natural scenery.
3. Making use of in-situ gravel to reduce both construction cost and environmental impact.
4. Excellent permeability.
5. Possessing advantages of rigid, flexible, and gravity structures.

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. Explore the ACE Geosynthetics EcoPark online now at www.acegeosyntheticsecopark.com to find out how it’s done!
