Subsurface water flow generally threatens the useful life of pavement structures, affecting them in various ways. Precipitation that flows superficially on the slopes can accumulate and infiltrate the ground, producing saturation, affecting the load-bearing capacity of the structure, generating settlements that threaten its stability and...

The fight against soil erosion has led civil engineering to explore innovative solutions such as erosion control blankets. In the blog, we will take a tour of different materials and examine key strategies for erosion control, taking into account slope as a determining factor. 1. Impertex: We start with Impertex,…

Geotextiles are geosynthetic materials used in different areas of civil engineering such as pavements, geotechnics and hydraulics in order to provide specific functions in civil works such as reinforcement, separation, filtration, drainage, containment and erosion control. According to ASTM D4439, a geotextile is a permeable geosynthetic composed solely of textiles.…

The low supporting capacity of the subgrade or available granular materials demands high-cost, robust pavement structures. The use of geogrids for mechanical stabilization of granular bases reduces stress levels and deformations, while increasing the elastic recovery capacity, achieving a reduction in thickness...

Geosynthetics for Erosion Control: High Performance Testing and Index Properties Soil erosion, a global problem, has intensified due to human activities. Every year, about 75 billion tons of soil are lost at a rate 13 to 40 times faster than natural erosion1.…

GAVION MODULES IN GEOSTERIAL GEOMETRY The additional GAVION MODULES IN GEOSTERIAL GEOMETRIE, if implemented for the confinement of rocks in the formation of rockfill mattresses, has another type of application: GAVION MODULES IN GEOSTERIAL GEOMETRY, which are not affected by corrosion, being highly resistant to abrasion and tension…

GEOMATRIX FORTEX high modulus woven geotextiles are woven with fibers of the exclusive G5 Multifilament of High Tenacity Polyester (PET), characterized by high mechanical and hydraulic performance. Its structure is defined by the weft insertion technique, which gives it a rapid response in tension to deformations of the…

Reinforcement of granular layers with FORTGRID UX geogrids for walls in reinforced soil Reinforcement of granular layers with uniaxial geogrids Reinforcement of granular layers with uniaxial geogrids is a geotechnical engineering technique used to improve the stability of soils and structures built on them . FORTGRID UX uniaxial geogrids…

In the Villa del Río sector there were two sites affecting the slope of a jarillon for flood control, susceptible to the erosion caused by the river and surface runoff. Find out below the Geomatrix solution and its status 9 years after the execution of the works. Play Video
