Expert Geosynthetic Materials & Solutions

Geosynthetics are engineered synthetic materials used with soil, rock, water, or other geotechnical materials to improve performance in construction and infrastructure projects. Common examples include geogrids, geotextiles, geomembranes, and related products. They are used for reinforcement, separation, filtration, drainage, erosion control, containment, and stabilization in roadways, slopes, retaining structures, drainage systems, and environmental applications.

Geosynthetics can reduce aggregate usage, improve soil stability, extend roadway life, control erosion, support drainage, and reduce construction delays caused by soft or weak subgrade conditions. They also help improve long-term performance while keeping projects within budget. With proper product selection and design support, geosynthetics can make infrastructure construction more efficient, durable, and cost-effective.

Geotextiles are permeable fabrics used for separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, and erosion control. They allow water to pass while helping retain soil particles. Geomembranes are low-permeability barrier materials designed for containment applications, such as lining ponds, landfills, or containment areas. In simple terms, geotextiles manage soil and water movement, while geomembranes primarily block fluid migration.

The right material depends on the application, soil conditions, loading requirements, drainage needs, regulatory requirements, and long-term performance goals. Coleman Moore Company helps evaluate whether geogrids, geotextiles, erosion control blankets, turf reinforcement mats, or related products best fit the project. Recommendations may include product analysis, cost-benefit review, design assistance, and installation consultation.

Yes, geosynthetics can help reduce costs by lowering aggregate requirements, improving constructability, stabilizing poor soils, and reducing delays associated with soft subgrade conditions. For roadways and infrastructure projects, optimized reinforcement can improve pavement support and extend service life. Coleman Moore Company focuses on practical recommendations that balance upfront material cost with long-term project performance.

Yes. Coleman Moore Company provides strategic site evaluations, product analysis, comprehensive cost-benefit analysis, design assistance, and product installation consultation. The team also uses field knowledge, manufacturer support, and tools such as Tensar Plus design software to help evaluate pavement and aggregate thickness options for specific project conditions.

Geosynthetic solutions are commonly used in roadway construction, civil site development, environmental projects, drainage systems, retaining structures, culvert repair, slope stabilization, channel protection, and streambank protection. They are valuable wherever soil reinforcement, separation, filtration, erosion control, drainage improvement, or site stabilization is needed to improve construction performance and durability.

Coleman Moore Company emphasizes great service on deliveries along with fast, accurate product information. With offices and a warehouse in Des Moines, the company supplies geogrids, geotextiles, erosion control products, sediment control materials, soil amendments, and water quality products for projects throughout Iowa. Customers can request product recommendations and a material quote based on project details.
