What Is Earthwork and Embankment Construction? Methods, Challenges and Geosynthetics

Earthwork is the collective term for all engineering activities involving the excavation, transport, placement and compaction of soil, rock and fill materials to create the landforms required by a construction project. Road cuttings, highway embankments, dam bodies, airfield platforms, flood defence banks and industrial development pads are all products of earthwork operations. Embankment construction — raising the ground surface above its natural level using compacted ...

Steel water storage silo / tank

Another usage of geosynthetics materials are in steel water reservoirs. These are very practical and easy to use water storage systems. They come with all the parts inside and you construct it on site. Their heights are upto 4.64 meters and diameters vary from 1.85 to 30.95 meters. Inside the steel construction there is a nonwoven geotextile liner to protect the waterproof tank liner. The ...

Basement drainage of a congress hall building construction

Geocomposite drainage sheets can also be used in higher depths. Photographs here shows some applications of drainage composites. They are ready to backfill. The backfill around the composites should be made very carefully because of the height. Direct flow of gravel and backfil materials may tear or damage the drainage materials. This drainage composite was placed on the waterproofing layer. For house basement drainage please ...

Geogrid in railways

Uniaxial geogrids were applied in this railroad project between Aliaga-Izmir cities. Geogrids were installed as several layers and the specially chosen soil between the layers was compacted. Like the roads in railroad backfills uniaxial geogrids can be used.

Tunnel drainage with geocomposites

In TAG motorway project a geocomposite drainage product was used. The project was a cut and cover tunnel. To protect the waterproofing and also for drainage Enkadrain drainage sheets were used. All the tunnel covered carefully. The backfill around done carefully. composite geosynthetics are also used inside the bored tunnels.
