Landfills and contaminated sites
When constructing landfills and remediating contaminated sites, drainage geosynthetics can be used as an alternative to the traditional natural granular materials required by current regulations. Tenax geogrids and geocomposites allow rainwater, leachate, and biogas to drain through the capping, base, and wall systems.
Slopes and Embankments
Support and erosion protection works are increasingly being carried out using naturalistic engineering techniques, such as reinforced earth and anti-erosion mats, to achieve safe, durable interventions that are integrated into the landscape.
Roads and Railways
The construction of major works such as roads and railways requires carefully planned interventions to ensure long-term operation and user safety. Base reinforcement, the construction of road and railway embankments, retaining structures such as reinforced earth walls, block or panel walls, and slope erosion protection are all interventions that can be carried out using Tenax geosynthetics.
Large areas and parking lots
The construction of large-scale works on soft ground requires improvement of the soil characteristics in order to increase its bearing capacity, prevent the formation of potholes, and reduce differential settlement.
Landscaping
In the design of open spaces, such as parks and gardens, naturalistic engineering allows the limitations of the terrain to be overcome, creating aesthetic and functional landscapes. Solutions using reinforced earth and erosion protection offer creative possibilities in landscape modeling, allowing innovative and resistant forms to be created. Thanks to their flexibility, these techniques are ideal for landscaping projects that require practical and sustainable solutions.
Rockfall and Noise Barriers
Rockfall barriers and noise barriers are essential for ensuring safety and acoustic comfort in urban environments and areas subject to road noise. Reinforced earth solutions offer high resistance and the possibility of greening facades, reducing visual impact and improving integration into the landscape. In addition, rockfall barriers offer protection against the risks associated with repeated impacts, with minimal maintenance and reduced environmental impact.
Basins and Canals
Protecting the banks of reservoirs and canals is crucial to prevent erosion caused by currents and improve soil stability. Geosynthetics, thanks to their flexibility, adapt perfectly to banks and prevent damage caused by runoff. These solutions are particularly effective for greening banks and stabilizing even steep slopes, contributing to optimal and sustainable hydraulic management.
Tunnels and Mines
During mining excavations, systems must be put in place to protect workers from small rockfalls that may occur from the roof.
