Articulated Colchacreto Textile Formwork: a cost-efficient alternative in riparian protections<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For decades, gabions and riprap have been the standard in bank protection. However, their economic viability depends largely on the proximity of a rock quarry with adequate gradation.<\/p>\n

In projects located in areas of difficult access, the cost of transporting the stone can represent up to 60% of the total value of the work. In addition to this, heavy machinery is required for placement and labor intensive work, which increases execution times.<\/p>\n

Why is Colchacreto Articulated textile formliner a game changer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

He Colchacreto Articulado<\/strong> is a flexible formwork system composed of two layers of high-strength geotextile, woven in such a way as to create a matrix of blocks interconnected by internal tendons.<\/p>\n

Once filled with fine aggregate concrete, it is transformed into a heavy and flexible structure, with a behavior similar to that of a set of boulders.<\/p>\n

Hydrodynamic adaptability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unlike rigid structures, which can collapse under scour processes, the Articulated Mattress is a flexible system.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the built-in transverse and longitudinal tendons, the system can deform and adjust to changes in the riverbed without losing its structural integrity.<\/p>\n

If scour occurs at the foot of the slope, the mattress adapts to the new ground geometry, significantly reducing the need for corrective maintenance.<\/p>\n
