Retaining and slope protection walls

They improve the stability and durability of these structures, and contribute to the preservation of the surrounding environment by preventing soil erosion and water infiltration.

Retaining and slope protection walls are structures designed to stabilize and protect areas where there is a risk of landslides or erosion. These walls are built on sloping ground and are used to prevent collapse, maintain ground integrity and protect nearby infrastructure.

In retaining walls, geomembranes act as a lining layer that protects the soil and materials behind the wall from the negative effects of water and helps maintain the integrity of the structure. In addition, by preventing water infiltration, geomembranes minimize the risk of water causing hydrostatic pressures in the soil, which could weaken the wall and compromise its stability.

In terms of slope protection, geomembranes play an essential role in preventing erosion of exposed soil on slopes. Covering the slope surface with a geomembrane prevents rainwater and wind from wearing away and washing away the soil, which could lead to landslides and collapse.

In summary, Atarfil geomembranes in retaining walls and slope protection not only improve the stability and durability of these structures, but also contribute to the preservation of the surrounding environment by preventing soil erosion and water infiltration.
