‘Geosystem’ is a new term that identifies a very old and well
established construction technique which involves using and/or
interfacing with the ground (see History). The methodology and
engineering input are what make a geo-component a fully working
Geosystem. More specifically, ‘Geosystems’ are defined as
composite systems installed and working in the ground which
contain three fundamental elements: Design input and technical
expertise are the engineering factors required to ensure a
Geosystem is appropriately selected and specified to perform
successfully on site: Selecting the most suitable Geosystem for
the site The selection of a Geosystem needs to be based on the
site conditions and on the requirements and aspirations of the
client. The Selection of Geosystems page deals in more detail
