Dams, dykes and levees are sensitive structures built either to retain water for a variety of purposes (energy production, water storage, irrigation, preservation, recreation …) or to bring a protection against natural disasters (floods, waves, storm surges, tsunamis …).

Buidling, raising and expanding

The Reinforced Earth® solution has been used to build various types of dams and structures associated to dams:

Reinforced Earth®

Reinforced Earth®

Our flagship technique, Reinforced Earth®, is based on the principle of the friction between soil and reinforcements creating a permanent and predictable bond. At the origin of all mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls on the market today, we are continuously perfecting this ingenious technique.

TerraTrel®

TerraTrel®

TerraTrel® is a lightweight solution used for the construction of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) structure using a durable steel wire mesh facing.

GeoTrel®

GeoTrel®

Geotrel® is a solution used for the construction of mechanically stabilized earth walls (MSE). It consists of stacked welded wire elements that serve as the facing of an engineered soil volume.

ArmaGreen®

ArmaGreen®

ArmaGreen® is an engineered solution for reinforced soil slopes that require promotion of natural vegetation along the slope surface. This sustainable solution provides optimized “green” integration in natural or peri-urban landscapes.

ArmaStone®

ArmaStone®

ArmaStone® is an engineered solution for reinforced soil slopes and vertical MSE walls which require an attractive mineral look along the slope surface, either to mimic the surrounding natural environment or simply to provide pleasing aesthetics for urban and peri-urban infrastructure.

ArmaGrid® UX

ArmaGrid® UX

ArmaGrid® UX (PET and PP) is a knitted polyester Geogrid providing tensile reinforcement capacity in one direction. ArmaGrid® UX is best suited for demanding soil reinforcement applications.

ArmaGrid® BX

ArmaGrid® BX

ArmaGrid® BX (PET and PP) is high strength and low strain biaxial knitted geogrid manufactured with high tenacity polyester yarns.

ArmaLynk®

ArmaLynk®

ArmaLynk® is a high-capacity geogrid that can be used for various basal reinforcement and ground stabilization applications.

ArmaWeb®

ArmaWeb®

Reinforced Earth’s ArmaWeb® is an expandable, cellular soil confinement solution. It is an ideal answer for engineers and builders seeking to design or install a durable system for permanent or temporary control of erosion, stabilizing subgrade soils or for controlled load distribution.

TerraDyke™

TerraDyke™

The TerraDyke™ geotextile tube is an excellent option for the construction of gravity standing structures for the rehabilitation of shorelines.

TerraFlow™

TerraFlow™

TerraFlow™ drainage geocomposites provide superior vertical and horizontal waterflow drainage control as opposed to aggregate chimney drains.

TerraTextile™ W

TerraTextile™ W

Under the umbrella of TerraTextile™, our woven geotextile solutions address construction challenges associated with soft and poorly draining soils. The solution provides long term separation, filtration and hydrostatic pressure control that in turn constricts potential surface and subgrade deformations.

TerraTextile™ NW

TerraTextile™ NW

Under the umbrella of TerraTextile™, our line of non-woven geotextiles provides excellent strength and hydraulic characteristics necessary for filtration, separation, drainage, damage control, threats to ground stabilization, and erosion control.

TerraLine™

TerraLine™

TerraLine GCL™

TerraLine GCL™

TerraLine™ GCL geosynthetic clay liners are factory made hydraulic barriers consisting of very low-permeability bentonite powder supported by geotextiles, non-woven on the covering side and woven on the carrying side.
