Geosynthetics
Geocells, geotextiles, geogrids, and geocomposites for projects requiring ground reinforcement, soil stabilization, earth retention, load support, and more.
No one should be left without access. That’s why we source the world’s leading geosynthetic products—so that we can deliver unparalleled access solutions customized for every client’s budget, timeframe, design requirements, and environmental concerns.
Geosynthetics act as quality-controlled alternatives to traditional geotechnical and civil engineering materials, such as concrete, rocks, and clay. Around the world, geosynthetics are an important part of geotechnical and civil infrastructure projects that demand improved ground conditions, including soil reinforcement, separation, filtration, drainage, and stabilization.
While we offer a variety of woven and non-woven geosynthetics to ensure we’re delivering an optimized solution for each project we take on, we’re especially proud to be revolutionizing the roadbuilding industry as Canada’s exclusive distributor of, and experts on, Tough Cell® technology. From access roads to residential streets, site preparation to slope stabilization, load distribution to rail repair, and everything in between—Tough Cell is a cost-effective, solid ground solution for projects large and small.
Of course, at the end of the day, matching the right material to a specific application is paramount for the success of any project. Whether you’re looking for a simple product order, help choosing the right product for your project, or a complete cradle-to-grave access solution, we’re here to help you get your project on solid ground.

Geocells
For projects requiring erosion control, soil or slope stabilization, channel protection, or structural reinforcement, Novel Polymeric Alloy (NPA) geocells are often ideal. Numerous technical publications prove that NPA geocells provide economic and structural advantages compared to other geosynthetics in these applications. Notably, NPA geocells reduce vertical stresses and deformations under both static and live loads, meaning they’ll deliver a stronger foundation for your project.
Geotextiles
Geotextiles are permeable fabrics ideal for soil separation, filtration, reinforcement, protection, and drainage. These products come in a variety of materials to suit the unique needs of each project.
Geocomposites
Geocomposites combine two or more types of geosynthetic materials to create a single, multifunctional product that enhances the key features and functions of its individual layers. With the right design, geocomposites can make for a convenient solution to a project’s drainage, reinforcement, filtration, separation, and containment needs.
Geogrids
Geogrids are often used to reinforce dirt, soil, sand, and other aggregate materials in applications such as retaining walls, road reinforcement, and other load support structures.
Roadbuilding
It’s time to start building better roads—roads that last longer, require minimal resources to build, and demand less money to construct and maintain. We partner with clients to deliver geosynthetics solutions optimized for the construction and
maintenance of public and private paved and unpaved roads and highways, access roads, and heavy haul roads. And—as always—where others stop short, Paradox goes the distance.
Slope Stabilization
Slippery slopes are no joke: The impact of a slope failure can range from costly inconveniences—such as major road blockages—to severe safety hazards and disastrous impacts on surrounding communities and environments. Several methods of slope stabilization have proven effective, and many variables will play into deciding which one is best suited for each project. We offer custom geosynthetics solutions for slope stabilization, optimized for each project’s unique ground and hydraulic conditions, with the special ability to leverage Tough Cell technology to deliver unparalleled solutions for erosion control for slopes and channels.
Railway Foundations
At Paradox, we’re proud to support the rail transport industry by providing solutions that reduce a rail project’s total cost of ownership, construction time, required maintenance, and carbon footprint… meaning rail companies can focus on what really matters—getting goods to the people and places that need them most. Tough Cell technology makes it possible to build tracks across any terrain, adding structural support to the railbed’s ballast and sub-ballast layers to optimize structural integrity under heavy loads and reduce surface geometry deformation over time. In addition to extending track ballast maintenance cycles, Tough Cell is ideal for new railway soil stabilization and rehabilitation of tracks that suffer from accelerated wear and tear.
Load Support
We partner with companies and communities to deliver geosynthetics solutions optimized for both static and live load support across typical and challenging ground conditions. And for extreme situations where typical geosynthetics fall short, we’re uniquely positioned to leverage Tough Cell technology to get your project on solid ground when it would otherwise be considered impossible to do so.
Reservoirs & Landfills (Channels)
Reservoirs and landfills demand special attention to the separation, filtration, drainage, and protection of soils and water systems from waste and other pollutants to protect the environments these structures occupy. Careful design and implementation of geosynthetic systems can serve as an effective alternative to traditional clay liners with economic and technical advantages, including improved stability, longevity, and erosion control using both vegetative and non-vegetative covers.
Gravity Wall
Earth retention walls constructed from Tough Cell are strong, long-lasting, easily installed. These green solutions are utilized for steep slopes (up to 81⁰) with complex topography, for both stepped or vertical designs. The use of Tough Cell provides structural integrity even over soft subgrades and they use locally available soils as backfill material.
