Soil Reinforcement

The construction of embankments and roadways on soft and saturated soils has historically been an expensive proposition before the development of geosynthetics.

The invention of geotextiles, both woven and non-woven, as well as geogrids has enabled engineers to layout structures in the most efficient and economical manner, without having to circumvent or "demuck" areas containing unstable soils. When installing high-strength woven geotextiles (HSWG), strong and efficient sewn seams provide for a stronger overall reinforcement system and often offer a more cost-effective solution.

Flint installation technicians are experienced in installing fabric on both dikes and roadbeds and routinely achieve the industry's highest installation rates, all while producing the highest seam strengths.
