Reclamation of abandoned open mines with innovative meandrically arranged geotextiles
Abstract For over fifty years, geosynthetics have been used for land reclamation of degraded areas. Several years ago for this purpose innovative geotextiles formed from meandrically arranged thick ropes were invented. The geotextiles were used for reclamation of abandoned lignite open-mine in Germany and disused gravel pit in Poland. The geotextiles were installed in abandoned mines. In next years positive influence of geotextiles on slopes behaviour and vegetation was observed. It was stated that the geotextiles provide stabilization of steep unstable slopes and significantly accelerate vegetation development. The innovative geotextiles perform functions unobtainable for other traditional products. The products are useful in an effective reclamation of open mines and constitute a valuable extension of the geosynthetic assortment applicable in land reclamation.
