Geosynthetic reinforcement was evaluated in a road that crossed a muskeg bog. Three options were tested: geogrid, reinforced non-woven geotextile, and corduroy (delimed trees laid side by side). After 1 year, the three road segments provided similar performance. Geosynthetics were less expensive than corduroy if the stems used in the latter approach could have generated a net profit of greater than $/m3. Geosynnthetics are easy to install, require no additional equipment during the installation, and avoid fiber loss.
