During a winter event, water tractive forces can increase significantly, which can lead to outliers in shear stress, velocity, and an increase in normal flow depth. These parameters can result in lateral erosion on the banks of the channel, a natural phenomenon of removal, drag, transfer and sedimentation of soil particles. To protect against this erosion, the construction of gravity structures using HYDROBLOCK GEOCONTAINERS.  

To protect those areas prone to lateral erosion or reconformation thereof, the construction of gravity structures is recommended that can be made with the soil of the site, confining it in the HYDROBLOCK STRUCTURAL GEOCONTAINERS, as seen in the following photographs.

 The HYDROBLOCK STRUCTURAL GEOCONTAINERS They are assembled using IMPREGNATED FABRIC GEOTEXTILE, a material highly resistant to UV and abrasion, which makes it durable outdoors in the long term. The HYDROBLOCK They are designed to be filled by mechanical or hydraulic means in situ for dry structures, although they can also be hoisted using slings, for the construction of submerged structures.  

 

When each unit is filled, a rectangular modular element of great mass and volume is obtained with which shore protection structures are assembled by gravity, since its capacity of 1.45 m3 is equivalent to a weight close to 3 tons. The units are arranged in layers following a girder pattern to guarantee their stability and are joined together using geogrid corner ties that are secured with Geocable.

From an installation point of view, lyou STRUCTURAL GEOCONTAINERS HYDROBLOCK They are highly versatile and resistant to installation damage, since the geotextile thas high tensile strengthon, tearing and punching. Additionally, they have a closure system using ties with geocable, designed in such a way that controls the migration of fines from the element to get in in contact with water, guaranteeing air tightness. Likewise, being iimpregnated, improves its mechanical and hydraulic properties managing to be more weather resistant and naturally aggressive humid environments.
