2. Access mat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_mat

   An access mat is a portable platform used to support equipment used in construction and other resource-based activities, including drilling rigs, camps, tanks, and helipads. It may also be used as a structural roadway to provide passage over unstable ground, pipelines and more.

3. Geotextile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotextile

   A silt fence on a construction site.. Geotextiles and related products have many applications and currently support many civil engineering applications including roads, airfields, railroads, embankments, retaining structures, reservoirs, canals, dams, bank protection, coastal engineering and construction site silt fences or to form a geotextile tube.

4. Geosynthetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynthetics

   Traditionally used in slope protection and earth retention applications, geocells made from advanced polymers are being increasingly adopted for long-term road and rail load support. Much larger geocells are also made from stiff geotextiles sewn into similar, but larger, unit cells that are used for protection bunkers and walls.

5. Blasting mat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasting_mat

   Blasting mats are used when explosives are detonated in places such as quarries or construction sites. The mats are placed over the blasting area to contain the blast, suppress noise [1] and dust as well as prevent high velocity rock fragments called fly rock (or flyrock) from damaging structures, [2] people or the environment in proximity to the blast site.

6. Cellular confinement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_confinement

   Early research (Bathurst and Jarrett, 1988) [13] found that cellular confinement reinforced gravel bases are "equivalent to about twice the thickness of unreinforced gravel bases" and that geocells performed better than single sheet reinforcement schemes (geotextiles and geogrids) and were more effective in reducing lateral spreading of infill under loading than conventional reinforced bases.
