Geogrids and geotextiles are often used in areas where mining subsidence is expected, or in areas where natural voids and solution features can occur; e.g. Karstic Limestone.

The geosynthetic is placed over the area of concern, extending a specific distance either side of the anticipated void. In the event that the ground collapses, the geogrid or geotextile will span this void, supporting the ground above.
