Geocontainers
Description
Geocontainers are a hybrid material that combines the properties of geotextiles and gabions. Made from durable woven synthetic fabric with high strength and moderate elasticity, they take the form of large bags. Filled with soil, sand, or gravel, geocontainers are used for soil stabilization, shoreline reinforcement, and as a foundation for construction sites.
Properties and Benefits
Durability
Has a lifespan of up to 200 years when fully submerged in water.
Versatility
Suitable for use on land and underwater without the need for ground preparation.
Ease of Installation
Can be easily laid even in complex terrain conditions.
Cost-Effectiveness
Using local materials for filling reduces costs.
Replacement for Gabions
Ideal for tasks requiring ground reinforcement without a mesh framework.
Applications
Shoreline and Slope Stabilization
- Formation of dams and prevention of shoreline erosion.
- Stabilization of slopes with varying steepness.
Road Construction
- Stabilization of soil foundations for transport routes.
- Prevention of road surface subsidence.
Large-Scale Construction
- Soil stabilization under the foundations of high-rise buildings and industrial complexes.
Filling Trenches and Voids
- Used for leveling construction sites and addressing geological defects.
Underwater Operations
- Filled geocontainers are placed on the bottom of water bodies to create a dense and stable foundation.
