Piled embankments with geosynthetic reinforcement are applied on soft soils and have several advantages. For example, the piled embankment can be constructed rather fast and has a small settlement after construction or is even settlement-free. Another advantage is that a piled embankment can be built next to sensitive constructions. A piled embankment consists of a field of piles with pile caps. On top of that, one or more layers of geosynthetic reinforcement (GR) are applied. On top of the GR the embankment can be constructed.
