US I-95 was fixed in less than two weeks after its collapse thanks to #geosynthetics. The use of #sustainable backfill made from #recycledglass, reinforced with polymeric #geogrids, has allowed commuters to get back on the road.

#Geosynthetics enable:
-substitution/reduction of aggregate
-increased longevity to construction works
-reduction in carbon emissions
-better wear/seismic resilience
-landscape preservation
-reduction of environ. impacts due to less construction traffic https://t.co/x2DTFz6hSm
