Geosynthetic Application | How "Precast Panel Facing Reinforced Soil Structure" is done? 

Reinforced Soil Structure with Precast Panel Facing
Concept
The quality and color of the precast panel can be properly designed, to enhance both safety and appearance of the structure. Its perpendicular installation takes less land space than a slope design.
Application
Urban roadway construction and/or roadway constructions where concrete appearance is required (e.g., enbankment for highway).
Characteristics
1. Stable structure with less concrete.
2. Good resistance to lateral deformation and erosion.
3. Its easy installation shortens the construction period.
4. Making use of in-situ soil to reduce both construction cost and environmental impact.
5. Vertical wall design occupies less land space.

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.
