Biogeoproducts. Biotechnology will bring new tools to the geotechnical engineer of the future in the form of geobiological products with controlled growth (in size and orientation) to provide in situ soil with anisotropic reinforcement or preferential permeability and/or controlled degradation to meet time-dependent needs. Areas of applications most likely for such products would be stabilization of steep slopes, erosion control, landslide repair, and revetment of swales and driveways.
