Geoquest’s Reinforced Earth® MSE technique is a tested solution for building basin containment for reservoirs. Building a vertical Reinforced Earth® MSE wall or steep slope structure will dramatically reduce the volume of backfilling materials when compared with a traditional profile. Vertical facings allow to reduce the wave run up, damage to the lining and evaporation.
ArmaGreen® and ArmaStone® solutions are adapted to cases for which steep slopes are considered and provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance to satisfy the requirements of the local community.
For sites which require to build in cut rather than in fill conditions, our precast concrete solutions TechWall™ and T-Wall®, can provide an adequate answer.
Protecting and preserving
When the reservoir or canal sides are sloped, TerraGreen® rolled erosion solutions allow for surface stability and vegetation growth. In more agressive conditions, TechRevetment™ formed concrete mattresses provide solutions to a wide array of hydraulic conditions and site requirements such as vegetation growth. TerraAnchor™ soil anchors will provide anchorage of the erosion protection layers and ensure the internal stability of the banks. As for all geotechnical hydraulic structures, geotextiles are essential components for separation and filtration purposes. Our TerraTextile™ range of products addresses these issues.
Geosynthetic clay liners are frequently used in reservoirs or canal applications and our TerraLine™ GCL products will answer the requirements of the projects.
Covering
In the instances for which canals have to be covered, Geoquest precast arches are a straightforward solution which can be built without impairing the flow of water and which will bring all the benefits of precast systems in terms of speed of construction and impact on the environment.
Industrial, mining and energy applications
Industrial and mining facilities may require water for their processes and generate liquid by products or wastes which need to be stored for treatment. Reinforced Earth® MSE walls designed with geostrip soil reinforcements allowing for the use of chemically aggressive backfills.
“I have worked with Geoquest on two previous projects and both times have exceeded my expectation. I find the product easy to work with, quick for construction and a good final product, looking the part. There is a good turn around time from the Geoquest team and always have answered any queries I have had. I would definitely use them again.”
“Excellent Service, system and simple to build – would always recommend”
“The design and materials supplied by Geoquest for the new Velindre Cancer Centre bridge was excellent, providing a high-quality product at a competitive price. The technical assistance with both the design and installation was highly commendable leading to a very high standard structure upon completion.
We would thoroughly recommend Geoquest for any retained earth projects and will recommend early engagement on future projects to utilise their vast technical knowledge for value engineering.”
“Having used Geoquest for the provision of a reinforced earth wall system on a new highway scheme I found them to be very helpful and easy to work with in the run up to construction and also throughout the construction. The quality of the final product was very good and looks well now that the work is complete and open to traffic.”
“Osborne Infrastructure selected Geoquest due to their reputation and expertise. They delivered on both. They provided both the design and the fabrication of the reinforced earth abutments for the M27 Romsey Road bridge on time and within budget. Design changes due to unforeseen site conditions were dealt with efficiently with expert advice on hand to ensure we produced the right solution for our client Highways England.
I would be more than happy to recommend Geoquest and would make them my go to specialist for this type of work.”
