Dams, marine structures, and hydraulic applications

Durable, easy to construct, and resistant to hydraulic and dynamic forces, Reinforced Earth® structures are an excellent solution when waves, erosion, driven pack ice, or docking activities pose challenges in designing hydraulic infrastructure.

Reinforced Earth® structures can be designed with functional features such as wave deflectors and selective backfill and composite materials which ensure adequate draining and hydrostatic pressure relief. A combination of liners and membranes result in a technically and economically sound solution for liquids retaining structures.  Reservoirs, tailings dams, and settling basins are all possible with Reinforced Earth® designs.
