1 Geosynthetics for Erosion Control and Reinforcement Stan Boyle, Ph.D., P.E. Shannon & Wilson, Inc. What are Geosynthetics? Geosynthetics are (generally) polymeric products used in civil engineering applications. Including: erosion control products, geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembranes, geosynthetic ti clay liners, geocells, geocomposites, and geofoam. What are Geosynthetics?
