Water management involves building infrastructure to channel, collect, harvest, treat and distribute valuable water resources
Geoquest engineered solutions enable water resource planners and builders to install:
- Retaining walls and barriers
- Conveyance tunnels
- Dams and reseservoirs
- Canal structures
- Ponds and lagoons
- Drainage and erosion control
Retaining walls, barriers and tunnels
Water management involves building sustainable structures to channel, harvest and control water. Geoquest’s Reinforced Earth® MSE retaining wall structures are combined with proper backfill materials and conduits to ensure water confinement and adequate backfill drainage performance, particularly when the structure is subjected to turbulent flow, rapid draw down and other variations in water levels and can be constructed in hydraulic environments. While, our reinforced soil slope solutions are ideal for stabilised earthen berms and levee embankments.
Water control barrier solutions are also addressed with TechRevetment™ formed concrete mattresses, TerraDyke™ geotextile tubes which mitigate damage caused by flash floods, moderate wave attacks and run-ups. These solutions are constructed with soil in-filled, semi-rigid polymeric crates and geosynthetic bags to prevent waterfront induced erosion. For cut-and-cover water conveyance, engineers call upon Geoquest precast archs for channeling water.
Reservoirs, ponds and lagoons
Nowadays there is ever-growing trends to give attention to management and conservation of our potable water resources. It is only logical that Geoquest’s engineered earth structures are installed throughout our landscapes to create means to capture, conserve and distribute water.
Whether required by small towns or large cities, or for industrial operations to secure and manage their water needs, Reinforced Earth® MSE is regularly used to build this infrastructure.
