PUBLIC WORKS BLOCK AFIWALL

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^®

• 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
