Flood control dikes with Articulated Colcacrete
Flood Control Levees
Solutions with textile formwork in Dikes for flood control
In flood control levees, the wet face lining in concrete with our textile formwork ARTICULATED COLCHACRETO, is a very good alternative, thanks to its system of blocks connected by means of tensioners that are embedded in the concrete, generating a continuous coating that is articulated to accommodate the shapes of the terrain, giving a macro texture similar to boulders. .
The interlocking zones between the formed blocks act as a filter, allowing water to escape to relieve the pressures that may occur inside the system, thus guaranteeing stability and prolonging the useful life of the work.
Unlike a conventional rockfill liner, the ARTICULATED COLCHACRETO can be adapted to steeper slopes, ensuring a more efficient construction process.
Installation of articulated mattresses, textile formwork in dikes for flood control.
In as for its installation, Once the area to be protected has been determined, proceed to cut the panels or strips of ARTICULATED COLCHACRETT COLCHACRETO and to their connection to each other. For slopes with a ratio higher than 1H:2V, it is recommended to divide the strip of textile formwork in cross sections by means of industrially sewn intermediate closures, which improves the filling and aesthetics of the liner.
