Geosynthetics are polymeric materials used in road construction to improve road strength, stability, and durability. These materials perform functions such as reinforcement, filtration, drainage, protection, and separation, among others. Their use has increased in recent decades due to their multiple advantages, such as ease of installation, low cost, and reduced environmental footprint.

Improvement of the foundation soil on anthropogenic fills of the Chimpu Ocllo Workshop Patio, Lima, Peru.
The project presented unfavorable geotechnical conditions: foundation soils comprised of anthropogenic fills with a high probability of uncontrollable settlement and low shear strength. These characteristics compromised structural stability and represented a critical risk to the safe development of the project.
Therefore, as a technical solution, a reinforced working platform was built using geosynthetic systems, integrating multiaxial extruded rigid geogrids in combination with high-performance HDPE geocells. This configuration significantly improved load distribution and controlled settlements, ensuring optimal conditions for project execution.
Hollemberg River – Perez River Road, Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Province, Chile.
To mitigate these limitations, a reinforcement system composed of granular drainage material combined with geosynthetics was implemented, integrating a nonwoven geotextile, geogrid, and an HDPE geocell. This solution allowed for efficient load distribution, improved drainage, and increased ground-bearing capacity, optimizing the road’s structural performance from the construction stage.
Subgrade improvement in clay soils and rehabilitation of the Palambla – Naranjo Highway, Piura, Peru.
To address this issue, a geosynthetic-based solution was applied using HDPE geocells, significantly reducing the required reinforcement thickness and achieving an optimal balance between technical performance and construction efficiency.
Restoration of the Francisco Morato Railway Station - Line 7 - Rubí – SP-2021.
This solution increased the rigidity of the new ballast on the subgrade, improving load distribution and ensuring a more stable and durable platform for railway operations.
Working platform for the base of the Casma River bank defense dam in Ancash, Peru.
The project presented a critical technical challenge: the presence of soft, oversaturated soils in the area where the planned levee will be placed, on which fill material will be placed. This condition prevented the required density to ensure greater shear resistance, thus compromising the levee’s stability and structural performance during its operational phase.
Improvement of the subgrade in the rigid pavement of Balmaceda Aerodrome, Aysén, Chile
To address this limitation, a subgrade improvement was implemented using geosynthetics, incorporating a T-6 multiaxial rigid geogrid, which increased the shear strength of the soil and controlled rutting, thus optimizing the performance of the designed rigid pavement.
