The images in our gallery tell a story about the geosynthetics industry – the members, the events and the way geosynthetics are used around the world. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and when you look at the pictures submitted for our photo contest you’ll see that the competition was unbelievable and the images express far more than a thousand words! From mountain tops to the sea, IGS Members provided a stunning array of photography that is sure to inspire future projects and photographers.
