Muros en suelo reforzado con geosintéticos

In every corner of the country where a road infrastructure project is planned, it is possible to use walls in soil reinforced with geosynthetics.

This solution has become one of the most widely used and the most recommended by experts, thanks to the construction, economic and utility advantages it offers to populations. Learn about the most frequent applications of walls in soil reinforced with geosynthetics.

Retaining wall

Supports the thrust of a mass of soil that is on its back. In other words, it is frequently used in the construction of roads, landfills, embankments for residential complexes or clubs and other spaces where the use of geosynthetics is adjusted. This will help prevent cave-in and support the slope.

Dikes and shore enhancements

These types of solutions contribute to the prevention of floods when river levels rise. In this way, the protection of the banks and the reinforcement of the slopes will be greater and will form a protective barrier for flood mitigation.

Bridge approach embankments

Here the extreme supports of a bridge are constituted, the same point where the entrance and exit of the vehicles will be. Thanks to the use of geosynthetics In reinforced soil walls, these structures present a good behavior against earthquakes and cases of deformation.

Steep
slopes

Although it is not containment of a large volume of earth, it does work to shape or reshape the slope. One of its main advantages is the prevention of future landslides from slopes that are next to the tracks.

Road embankment on soft ground

This reinforced soil wall solution is common and recommended for use when there is flat terrain, soft soil and the construction of the road is higher than the ground on which it is built.

Those mentioned are some of the applications of this type of solutions. As providers of engineering solutions, in geomatrix, you will find a deep knowledge of the behavior of the product in the specific conditions of each project, as well as technical support in planning your project and training and permanent accompaniment during the installation process.
