Geobag Functions and Benefits for Slope Reinforcement
A slope is an area where the ground surface is inclined, which often leads to erosion and landslides. This article covers the role of geobags for slope reinforcement.
Many factors cause erosion and landslides on slopes. Examples include high rainfall, steep slopes, vibration (earthquakes), deforestation, farmland on slopes, loose soil and piles of rubbish.

Geobag (Geotextile Bag) product details
Geobags can be a solution for preventing erosion and landslides, especially on slopes. They are made from woven geotextile or non-woven geotextile, sewn into sack shapes, and their dimensions can be adjusted to project needs. Filling them is easy too, using local materials such as sand or soil.
Compared with other types of sacks, geobags have several advantages: they are practical, environmentally friendly and cost-effective, with high puncture resistance and tear resistance.
Application is simple: fill the geobags with sand or soil, then stack them upwards as cushions to retain the inclined ground surface of the slope.
