Soil consolidation
Soil consolidation prevents soil subsidence caused by several factors, including:
- drought and the crumbling of the surface layers
- the different soil structure
- steep slopes or overloads
- excess water due to atmospheric conditions or infiltrations
- landslide phenomena
- the excavations
- seismic events
- vibrations underground
A soil consolidation action , therefore, can be important because it allows:
- increase the bearing capacity of the soil
- stabilize excavations, as well as natural and/or artificial slopes
- control deformations and accelerate soil compaction
- regulate the filtration movements
Soil Consolidation Techniques
To reinforce the ground, a reinforced elastic element can be inserted inside it, capable of preserving the stability of existing structures and preventing differential settlements that can weaken the structures and damage the soil.
Consolidation of soil with geomats
The application of a composite system with elements with tensile strength (such as geomats for soil consolidation) increases the mechanical characteristics and stability of the soil.
In Sineco International we offer consolidation systems for foundation soils, clay and other types of soil, which allow even marginal areas (such as polluted sites and soils with poor characteristics) to be exploited for the construction of new works and infrastructures. All this while preventing the impact of natural phenomena (including earthquakes, landslides, floods, wind) and anthropogenic ones (such as pollution and mining activities).
Our products for soil consolidation
SINMAT REINFORCED WITH GEOGRIDS
Three-dimensional geomat made of extruded monofilaments of synthetic material, characterised by a structure reinforced with geogrids.
Ideal for providing maximum reinforcement to the ground , for the construction of support, drainage and hydraulic regulation works.
Guarantees support and reliability long term. It should always be combined with Draining geocomposites SINDRAIN for the collection of surface and/or deep water.
Applications of our geomats for soil consolidation
Geomats for soil consolidation Sineco International are indicated in the context of civil engineering. Among the most important applications:
Geomats for slopes
Geomat for slopes reinforced with reinforced geogrid. Applicable to different types of soil to prevent the formation of ruts and stabilize slopes.
Geogrids for soil reinforcement
Structural elements that promote the consolidation of soil, even clayey soil , before the construction of roads, railways and other public or private works.
Geogrids for road pavements
Essential systems for strengthening foundation soils. By absorbing structural loads, they can prevent the collapse of road and railway embankments, increasing safety, performance, and the longevity of the structure.
