SLOPES AND EMBANKMENTS
SELECTED COMPLETED PROJECTS
Strengthening of embankment and slope structures. Securing slopes on roads, railway lines and rivers.
Sliding-resistant backfill
The soil filling the cells is held in place by the cell walls, forming a series of mini-dams that protect the backfill from sliding off. There are 3 types of slopes: covered with vegetation, without vegetation and reinforced with concrete. For slopes covered with vegetation, sections of geocells enclose and reinforce the vegetation layer. They increase their natural resistance against erosion and protect the root zone against the loss of soil particles. The system works particularly well on steep slopes.
Improving erosion resistance
For non-vegetated slopes, the geocell sections improve the erosion resistance of the granular materials, protect the slopes and keep the structure filled with granular materials. Concrete-reinforced slopes act as formwork and a continuous expansion joint system. The cells flex and adapt to the displacement of the substrate, reducing cracking.
