BRAND NEW ! MacRES Vertical Concrete Panel Reinforced Soil System.


Basal Platforms: Over Voids

Wallasey Dock Infill. Woven Polypropylene bidirectional 120kN geotextiles were used in large panels to cover 11m depth of alluvial silts, prior to infilling on this dock reclamation project.
Railway extension, London Docklands. Paralink 800S (800kN/m) was required in this piled platform. Detailed analysis showed that traditional multi-layer low-strength bidirection geogrid approach underdesigned geogrid requirements in these situations.
Stanstead Rail Link. High strength Paralink geogrids (350kN/m and 450kN/m) were used to reinforce this piled railway embankment over peat ground.

Geogrids and geotextiles are often used in areas where mining subsidence is expected, or in areas where natural voids and solution features can occur; e.g. Karstic Limestone.

The geosynthetic is placed over the area of concern, extending a specific distance either side of the anticipated void. In the event that the ground collapses, the geogrid or geotextile will span this void, supporting the ground above.
