Geosynthetics provides premium geotextiles for various uses in the transport sector.
India has an extensive road and highway system that stands at 142,126 km of national highways as of April 2019. In fact, we have the second largest road network in the world. The latest statistics go

The non-woven variety of geotextiles is commonly used for the construction of roads. They help fill in gaps, increase the lifespan of roads and reduce potholes as well. The use of geosynthetics offers quicker installation, is less expensive, and allows engineers to work on lands previously thought of as difficult.
