A dam is a structure made of concrete, stone or selected earthen material that is built with the aim of containing water, preventing its passage. They can be built perpendicular or parallel to the course of the river.andl channel which is intended to be channelled.

In dikes formed from material selected from the site, it is important to consider an additional lining to control lateral erosion that may occur on the slopes, because these types of structures are located in a body of water.  

When there is the possibility of using any kind of earth material available at the construction site, the lining on the wet side made from impregnated geotextiles for dikes, such as those GEOCONTAINERS IMPREGNATED IN HYDROTEX, is a very good alternative, obtaining units of great mass and volume that are used to form the protection against the abrasive phenomenon and traction forces generated by the channel.

Likewise, our solution is manufactured with a GEOTEXTILE TISSUE, made with fibras of the exclusive Multifilament G5 of high tenacity polyester PET, subjected to impregnation with a coating copolymer that gives it UV protection, resistance tol installation damage and durability in the long run term before mechanical actions.

Impregnated geotextiles for dikes, when compared to traditional systems such as rip-rap, concrete bags or gabions, are a more economical and versatile system, since they do not require specialized labor, only requiring material from the site for filling and minor tools, speeding up execution activities, even in places where access to materials and logistics is difficult and expensive.

Likewise, due to their flexibility, impregnated geotextiles for dikes adapt to irregular surfaces on slopes and allow settlements without affecting their performance, compared to rigid solutions.
