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.
