Reinforced soil walls are an efficient and sustainable solution for construction in challenging terrain. These structures offer stability in retaining walls, slopes and embankments, even in soft soils. However, when located in areas with a high risk of flooding, additional criteria must be applied to ensure their performance and durability.....

1. Effect of reinforcement FORTGRID BX biaxial geogrids are commonly installed at the interface between the base and subbase, between the subbase and subgrade, or within the granular base itself. This significantly reduces the stresses transmitted to the subgrade compared to unreinforced sections (Figure 1). ...

Geogrid reinforcement of asphalt layers has established itself as an effective solution for improving structural performance and extending the service life of pavements. These structures, placed between layers of asphalt mix, control crack propagation, reduce permanent deformation and increase resistance to cyclic loading. In this article...

In hydraulic engineering, ensuring bed stability in rivers, canals and drainage works is a priority. Bed protection with geosynthetics has become a key strategy to mitigate problems such as erosion, scour and excessive flow velocities, which can lead to structural failures, material losses and alterations...

Haya de la Torre Avenue, located in the Constitutional Province of Callao, plays a strategic role within the urban road system, since it serves as an access and exit route for heavy cargo transportation, especially to the port's warehouses and terminals. In order to address the deterioration of this road, it was considered the...

Solar farms are one of the most important solutions for the global energy transition. Their infrastructure not only focuses on capturing solar energy, but also on protecting the land against erosion and efficiently managing surface runoff water generated by rainfall. This is where the use...

Urban infrastructure development constantly faces complex technical challenges, especially when it comes to taking advantage of land with geotechnical and geometric constraints. This was the case in a recent project where a large-capacity bus parking platform needed to be built on an existing slope with a steep gradient and limited space for maneuvering.....

The retrofitting of the sludge lagoon at the Rio Frio WWTP with geosynthetics was a necessary solution to the challenges of trafficability in unstable areas. Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) such as this one face technical challenges when the constant passage of heavy machinery over soft surfaces is required. In this project, executed...

The use of geosynthetics has revolutionized the way pavement structures, embankments, working platforms and other granular soil solutions are designed and constructed. In particular, FORTGRID BX polyester woven biaxial geogrids stand out as one of the most effective solutions for improving their structural performance, making them a fundamental material...

Bank protection solutions in rivers, canals and water bodies are essential to address erosion. This problem represents both an environmental and infrastructure challenge. Today, more durable and sustainable alternatives are being sought. In this context, geosynthetics have gained prominence. These materials allow protecting, stabilizing and recovering water edges...
