The upcoming Geosynthetics Middle East 2011 event promises to attract a wide array of industry leading attendees. This will be the 4th Geosynthetics Middle East event and will be held in Abu Dhabi City in the United Arab Emirates from 25-26 October. The previous event in 2010 attracted 300 delegates from 25 countries and this new conference already looks set to build on that success. International geotechnical and environmental specialists will exchange knowledge and experience on geosynthetics used in roads, bridges and other infrastructure. In association with the conference there will be a technical exhibition with leading players in fields includinggeosynthetics, geotextiles, geomembranes, waterproofing membranes, geocomposites, water management, erosion controls and geofoam.

    Geosynthetics have a wide variety of uses and these include providing extra strength in highway construction. Demand for geosynthetics in the United States alone is projected to increase 4.4% per year through to 2010 to more than 727 million m². Geosynthetics, used worldwide in the highway sector for strengthening, include geotextiles, geomembranes, geonets, geogrids, geosynthetic clay liners, preformed geocomposites, geocells and geofoams.
