4. GEO-TECHNICAL PRODUCTS:  GEOTEXTILE : A flexible, permeable fabric used with foundation, soil, rock, earth, or other geotechnical engineering related material as an integral part of a man made project, structure, or system.  GEONET: A netlike polymeric material formed from intersecting ribs integrally joined at the junctions used for drainage with foundation, soil, rock, earth or any other geotechnical-related material.  GEOGRID: An open grid structure of polymeric material used primarily for tensile reinforcement.  GEOMEMBRANE : An essentially impermeable membrane.  GEOCOMPOSITE : A manufactured material using geotextiles, geogrids and/or geomembranes in laminated or composite form.  GEOCELL: A three-dimensional structure filled with soil, thereby forming a mattress for increased stability when used with loose or compressible soils.  Geosynthetic Clay Liner : Factory-manufactured hydraulic barriers consisting of a layer of bentonite clay or other very low permeability material supported by geotextiles and/or geomembranes and mechanically held together by needling, stitching or chemical adhesive.

5. GEO-TECHNICAL PRODUCTS:  Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRM) : cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to hard armor erosion protection solutions such as concrete and riprap. UV and chemical resistant synthetic polyolefins are manufactured to create a flexible three-dimensional matrix. Seed and soil are held in place within the matrix. As the vegetation matures, roots and stems inter-twine with the matrix, creating a "Biotechnical Composite" that is permanently anchored to the soil greatly enhancing the turfs’ ability to withstand high shear stresses and flow velocities.  GEOFOAMS :  Rigid Cellular Polystyrene Geofoam: block or planar rigid cellular foam polymeric material used in geotechnical engineering applications  Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Geofoam : EPS geofoam is a lightweight, rigid foam plastic that is approximately 100 times lighter than most soil and at least 20 to 30 times lighter than other lightweight fill alternatives  DRAINS  Geocomposite Pavement Panel Drains  Vertical Strip Drains  Prefabricated Vertical Drains ( PVD ): A geotextiles constructed from specially conditioned geotextile fabrics and plastic cores used for consolidation of soil & ground improvement  Erosion Control Blankets ( ECB ) : A temporary protective blanket laid on top of bare soil vulnerable to erosion, commonly made of mulch, wood fibre or synthetics.  Alternative Daily Covers (ADC): A cover material other than earthen material placed on the surface of the active face of a municipal solid waste landfill at the end of each operating day to control vectors, fires, odors, blowing litter, and scavenging.  Prefabricated Bituminous Geomembranes (PBGM) : A geotextile impregnated & coated with bituminous binder.
