The construction of infrastructure sometimes requires working on very steep slopes. The AFIWALL® range offers various simple and rapid construction methods which provide a variety of solutions to complete these structures.
For slope reinforcement, mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) retaining wall with vertical facing or facing at a slight angle, bridge abutments or acoustic bunds, the AFIWALL block technology is used whenever concrete facing is needed.
This solution consists of three products:
a specifically designed reinforcing geosynthetic such as NOTEX® C in the event of aggressive granular backfill upon installation or NOTEX® GX or GEOTER® F in most traditional cases
a drainage geocomposite such as SOMTUBE® FTF to combat water ingress in the technical embankment
modular concrete blocks such as BETOATLAS® or LEROMUR®
Benefits
Innovative and cost-effective solution consisting of 3 products supplied by AFITEXINOV for the reinforcement, drainage and lining of the structure
Construction of very high retaining structures
The modular concrete facing replaces the construction of traditional walls
Quickly implemented
Looks different depending on the type of modular block used
Better integration into the landscape
