Online Learning, by Geofabrics Ltd
Closely linked with climate change and flooding, the effects of erosion and land loss regularly feature on our new feeds. This presentation provides an insight into the geosynthetics used to reduce the impact from erosion. Identifying different types of erosion and their – often severe – impacts can only help in our understanding of this dynamic subject.

GEOfabrics manufactures a diverse portfolio of world class geosynthetic solutions for a broad range of civil engineering applications, including drainage, protection, separation, filtration, SUDs and invasive plant root barriers. GEOfabrics’ HPS geotextiles are manufactured from high tenacity virgin polypropylene to a performance specification, rather than weight, thereby ensuring their suitability for their intended application.
