Benefits
Geosystems applications achieve in general a significantly more efficient use of resources compared to traditional ground improvement solutions in civil engineering, particularly those using concrete or steel. Resource efficiency (avoidance of waste, its reuse as resource, use of alternatives to primary aggregates) is encouraged in planning and minerals policies.
Geosystems have the potential to deliver very substantial cost and environmental benefits, including shorter construction times and reduced carbon emissions. These benefits are considered within this section and demonstrated in the supporting case studies:
