The characteristics of materials for the construction of reinforced soil structures are crucial to ensure their stability and longevity. Therefore, understanding the behavioral parameters that govern the soil-geosynthetic relationship, the determination of the available strength of geosynthetics and how these are involved in design methodologies is fundamental. ...

The optimum performance of pavement structures constructed with geosynthetics depends on good handling and installation practices. The installation of FORTGRID geogrid for granular reinforcement is a key process in the construction of roads and other structures where the stabilization of granular layers is required, improving the bearing capacity...

HYDROBLOCK: This is a rectangular-shaped GEOCONTENEDOR for on-site installation in hard-to-reach places. It is equipped with an internal structure, has handles for lateral fastening and has a capacity of approximately 1.45 m³. It is made of GEOTEXTIL WOVEN POLYESTER fabric encapsulated with a copolymer specially formulated to preserve it from deterioration due to the action...

  The optimal performance of walls in geosynthetic-reinforced soil depends on good design and installation practices. Below are recommendations on key aspects for proper execution: 1. Soil Exploration and Study: Before beginning the construction of walls in geogrid-reinforced soil, a soil exploration and study must be carried out.

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 channel that is intended to be channeled. In dams made from the material selected from the site, it is important to consider…

Functional Unit 1 includes the section of road between the Municipality of Remedios and the Municipality of Zaragoza, where a new road with a length of 58 Kilometers was built. Functional Unit 1 begins in the sector of El Llano de Córdoba in the municipality of Remedios (Km 0+000) and ends in…

When the useful life of a road corridor comes to an end, it may present significant deterioration not only in the road, but also in the viaducts, tunnels and bridges. In these circumstances, pavement reinforcement with geogrid is essential to intervene in the corridor and return the pavement to an excellent condition. The most common deterioration…

Creep is a phenomenon that occurs in construction materials subjected to constant loads for long periods of time, resulting in deformations that can affect the structural integrity of buildings. In the field of civil engineering, the effect of creep in soil walls reinforced with geogrids and…

Learn about our IMPERTEX solution, which is a high-resistance IMPERTEX waterproof textile geosynthetic made up of a flat-woven textile substrate made with the exclusive high-resistance G5 Polyester Multifilament, subjected to impregnation with a coating copolymer that gives it impermeability and protection against UV rays. It is characterized by being inert to…

The optimal performance of pavement structures built with geosynthetics depends on good handling and installation practices. The installation of FORTEX BX reinforcing woven geotextile is a process that must be carried out carefully to ensure its effectiveness in applications such as soil stabilization, filtration,…
