Slope containment and rockfall control
Scope
Treatment of slopes to mitigate geotechnical errors such as global and localized errors (slope containment) and control of superficial debris from slopes (rockfall control).
Benefits
Personnel and infrastructure safety.
Use
Roads, mining pits, all infrastructure next to a slope.
Installation of dynamic barriers
Scope
Control of rockfalls on slopes in large areas.
Benefits
Personnel and infrastructure security.
Uses
Roads, mining pits, all infrastructure next to a slope.
Installation of fences and road protection
Scope
Enclosure to delimit infrastructure.
Benefit
Easy to install.
Use
Delimit infrastructure.
Construction of reinforced soil walls
Scope
Non-conventional contention systems that are comprised of structural
material and geosynthetics, which provide resistance to traction; in conjunction, these components act like a unified structure.
Benefits
- Better cost/Benefit relation compared to conventional contention structures
- Flexible structures that behave well during seismic events
- Structure works immediately
- Does not require rigid or deep foundations
Uses
Dam heightening, platform for crushers, increase in dump volumes
