WATER - Dams & Dikes

Dams

Preventing or minimizing water infiltration from the reservoir is critical to the operation of the dam. Because persistent seepage can ultimately endanger the integrity of the dam.

Geomembrane systems are used to provide, enhance or restore the water tightness of the dam. The system is a sustainable solution with high technology and cost efficiency.

Geomembranes

The geomembrane system is the most sustainable waterproof technology for dams: for all types of applications, the components are small in size, and light in weight. As installation is quick, the project will be completed in a shorter time.

Due to their flexibility and robustness, geomembranes, with only some millimeters thick, can replace the reinforced concrete surface, saving millions of cubic meters of materials and improving the sustainability of the entire project.

Geotextiles

Geotextiles have been used in water conservancy projects for some time. It also has an anti-friction function under different movements.

Moreover, it can separate from the geomembrane layer to avoid possible damage to the water barrier when the stress is very high. It is cheap and easy to install.

Dikes

A dike or dyke, is a sheet of rock, built to prevent flooding, or confine a river to a specific course.

During the dyke construction, the use of geosynthetics can bring performance advantages as well as economic advantages.

Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs)

GCLs can provide a durable and uniform polyethylene coating on the material’s woven side, creating an additional low permeability barrier for exceptional waterproofing.

In addition, GCL is used to provide storage security in these facilities to improve operational efficiency.

Geogrids

Geogrids can reinforce the earth’s structure strengthens. They are used at the bottom of the embankment for foundation reinforcement.

Furthermore, their reinforcement and stabilization make it possible to offer economical and lightweight solutions.

Geocells

Geocells can increase stability. They are able to bear heavy loads without damage.

So, they extend the life of the pavement and reduce the need for maintenance.
