Protection works to mitigate the risk of flooding and lateral erosion in structures facing bodies of water

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

 

 

In dikes formed from selected material from the site, it is important to contemplate an additional lining to control lateral erosion that may occur on the slopes, since this type of structure is located in a body of water.  

When there is the possibility of using any kind of earth material available on site, the wet face liner made from impregnated geotextiles for dikes, such as the GEOCONTAINERS IMPREGNATED IN HYDROTEX, is a very good alternative, obtaining units of large mass and volume that are used to form the protection against abrasive phenomena and tractive forces generated by the riverbed.

 

 

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

 

 

Impregnated geotextiles for dikes, when compared to traditional systems such as riprap, concrete bags or gabions, turn out to be a more economical and versatile system, since it does not require specialized labor, it only requires site material for filling and minor tools, making execution activities faster, even in places where access to materials and logistics is difficult and costly.

 

 

Likewise, due to their flexibility, impregnated geotextiles for embankments accommodate irregular slope surfaces and allow settlement without affecting their performance, as compared to rigid solutions.
