Keeping on track with geosynthetics, webinar

Geosynthetic materials have been used within rail infrastructure for over 30 years to improve performance of the rail trackbed, associated earthworks and structures.

With an ever increasing focus on value engineering and sustainability, geosynthetic materials can offer a wide range of solutions that help to conserve natural resources, improve performance and increase design life for rail projects.

This presentation will cover:

• Relevant definitions and an overview of the different types of geosynthetics and their functions
• Rail track bed construction covering problems, solutions and, most importantly, the prevention of issues
• Laboratory testing results case studies
• The benefits of geosynthetics for rail applications

Speaker - Peter Stevens,  Applications Development Manager for Terram Geosynthetics, part of Berry Global.

This is a joint event between the ICE North West Geotechnical Group and International Geosynthetics Society UK Chapter.
