SKUDO An innovative system for protecting waterproofing in earth retaining walls

SKUDO An innovative system for protecting waterproofing in earth retaining walls SKUDO is an element made from recycled polypropylene designed to protect the waterproof layer in retaining walls. Due to its sturdiness, it ensures resistance to compression and to dragging down due to settling of the soil, thereby preserving the waterproof layer over time. Besides its height, it creates an excellent air chamber for ventilation and excellent separation from soil moisture. TECHNICAL FEATURES Composition Support bases Double profile top cover

The support bases, amounting to a surface of 755 cmq / sqm., are shaped so as to cause no damage to the waterproof layer. The height of «SKUDO» (7.5 cm) along with the special shape formed by truncated cones and truncated pyramids, creates an air chamber of 65l / sqm. This volume of air ensures excellent ventilation, and at the same time humidity is separated from the ground, thus eliminating scree. It is very important to create a channel at the foot of the wall, to collect the drained water; the «skudo» will be at the top of this. The shape and type of material from which the «skudo» is...
