📰Success Story: "Void Spanning in Housing Development"! 🏗️💡 The challenge was formidable: historical mine workings lurked beneath the proposed site, presenting potential risks of collapses or subsidence. With voids up to 10m thick discovered during intrusive investigations, the area required sterilization and robust measures to ensure safety for future development. Enter Maccaferri, a leading provider of geotechnical solutions! 🚀 Leveraging our expertise, we collaborated with the Developer’s Engineer to design and supply a high-strength geogrid solution tailored to the site's unique demands. Our innovative approach set this project apart: employing advanced digital modelling, we crafted a comprehensive 3D model of the site. This enabled us to pinpoint key areas and optimize the design using varying strengths of geogrid, ensuring maximum effectiveness while minimizing costs. Our ParaLink® technology proved instrumental in this endeavour. Its unique structure allowed for a more efficient design, resulting in significant cost reductions compared to traditional alternatives. By strategically utilizing 200kN and 400kN strength geogrids, we achieved optimal results in line with industry standards. Throughout the construction phase, close collaboration with the contractor ensured seamless integration of ParaLink® into the project. Direct delivery from our factory in West Yorkshire streamlined operations, while sharing the digital model facilitated precision in earthworks. The outcome? A safe, sustainable solution that not only mitigated the risks posed by voids but also transformed the sterile area into a vibrant children’s play area and SuDS pond, enhancing the community's quality of life. 📰 Our Success Stories 👉https://lnkd.in/ekPTdhKN.. 💪 #EngineeringExcellence #GeotechnicalSolutions #InnovationInConstruction #ParaLink #Maccaferri #Civilengineering #Construction

FAQ: Effective Uses of Geomembranes

#Jwell PE Extra-width #Geomembrane #Waterproof Sheet Extrusion Line In the ever-changing modern engineering construction, the selection and application of materials is undoubtedly one of the key factors determining the success or failure of a project. With the progress of science and technology and environmental awareness, a new type of material that combines high efficiency, environmental protection and durability - PE extra-width geomembrane /waterproof sheet - is gradually becoming the first choice in many engineering projects with its unique advantages.

"Lightweight strength—EPS Geofoam transforms challenging construction into stable, efficient solutions." EPS Geofoam is a lightweight, engineered fill material made from expanded polystyrene (EPS). It is used in construction projects to reduce loads on underlying soils, minimize settlement, and improve stability. Due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, EPS Geofoam is ideal for applications like road embankments, retaining walls, and foundation fill where traditional soil or fill materials would be too heavy or unstable. It is easy to install, resistant to moisture, and does not degrade over time. EPS Geofoam also helps accelerate construction schedules, making it a cost-effective solution for challenging geotechnical conditions. video rights : Respective owners DM for removal/credits #geofoam #bridges #engineering #construction #civilengineering #highway #engenharia #civilconstruction #engenhariacivil
