Solutions for reinforced embankment

Product catalog summary

Introduction
This document discusses reinforced soil slopes as a reliable, fast, and economical alternative to traditional methods like rockfill, soil nail walls, and shotcrete for restoring structures affected by landslides. It highlights the importance of controlling landslide risks, which pose significant challenges to infrastructure.

Specifications and Features
Reinforced soil slopes offer a robust solution for structural failures due to landslides. They are simple to implement, do not require specific training, and allow quick restoration. These slopes have a controlled deformation capacity, making them suitable for various foundation soils and capable of absorbing static or dynamic forces.

Components and Materials

Drainage geosynthetic (e.g., SOMTUBE® FTF) to prevent water infiltration.
Reinforcement geogrid (e.g., NOTEX® GX) suitable for backfill material.
Reinforced vegetated embankment with alignment device, vegetated soil, and hydroseeding or hydromulching.
GEOTER® F coated drainage base.

Implementation Steps

Cleaning the site.
Backfilling and compaction.
Installation of SOMTUBE® FTF.
Layering.
Installation of aligning device.

Advantages

Technical support for project justification and implementation start-up.
Possible reuse of site materials.
Implementation without training by any team.
Use of conventional earthmoving equipment with minimal logistics.
Vegetation cover for landscape integration.
Ease of implementation on site.
Suitable for steep or confined areas.
100% made in France.

Controlling landslide risks: a major challenge for your infrastructure Infrastructure sometimes requires the construction of embankments, which are susceptible to hydraulic hazards and can become unstable. Following a structural failure, particularly as a result of a landslide, the implementation of reinforced soil slopes is a simple, robust solution that does not require specific training, allowing the structure to be quickly restored to working order. Their controlled deformation capacity under even high stresses allows the construction of flexible structures adapted to all types of foundation...
