SUPPORTING WALLS Bridge abutments of an elevated motorway Project: Bridge abutments of an elevated motorway in Ostrava Ostrava - Polná • Elevated motorway bridge, total length 588m. • Designed for the point of D 47 motorway crossing with several other roads and railway lines, including the future high-speed railway corridor. • The abutment is designed as a stepped wall of geogrid reinforced soil. • Front faces of the individual steps made of GRAVITY STONE facing blocks. Materials applied: • Stepped walls - GRAVITY STONE facing block (natural colour, split surface finish), capping blocks, Tensar...

vibro-pressed concrete block system Elements used: Gravity Stone split surface facing block The facing block is available in the following colours: standard, Colors 08, Colors 09 and the following surface finish options: smooth surface, split surface, RUSTIK. It may be used in modular walls (i.e. made of blocks only) as well as reinforced walls (i.e. with geogrids). The approximate weight of the block is 33 kg. Connecting pins 2 pcs per facing block Geogrids Geogrids are used in the structures of reinforced retaining walls or reinforced slopes. The main function of geogrids is to take the tension...

SUPPORTING WALLS Reconstruction of a retaining wall Project: Reconstruction of a retaining wall Jáchymov, Havlíčkova street • There is free land of limited dimensions under the wall, in front of a large residential building. • Above the wall, there is grass and a pavement with railing. • The retaining wall is rather specific as it houses a steam pipeline. Materials applied: • GEOSTONE BENT, the last course of the main wall is made of GEOSTONE SHELF Design engineer: Year of implementation: 2007 Description: Localization: Czech Republik There is free land of limited dimensions under the wall, in...

vibro-pressed concrete block system Elements used: BENT block has a plastic, bent front face. It is used mainly in retaining walls reinforced by geogrids similarly to FLAT block. The approximate weight of the product is 44 kg. The SHELF block is primarily designed for vegetation by flowers and plants. The block does not have a bottom, which enables the roots to grow through to lower layers. The front wall of the block is plastic, which means its shape is identical to that of the BENT and POT blocks. The block is used separately or in combination with the POT for building slopes and in combination...

SUPPORTING WALLS Road no. I/38 Kosmonosy Project: • Wall alongside the road no. I/38 at the location of a flyover junction Materials applied: • Combination of Gravity Stone smooth surface and split face blocks, anchoring dowels and anchoring elements Investor: Design engineer: Localization: Czech Republik Wall alongside the road no. I/38 at the location of a flyover junction. The front face of the retaining wall features split surface Gravity Stone blocks in natural colour, anchoring dowels and anchoring elements. An example of a convex wall with geogrids Reinforcement direction Reinforcement...
