Hydrogeological instability mitigation

Green Carpet

Pattern of concrete blocks on PP net

Green Carpet is an innovative "carpet" made up of concrete blocks (colored brown to minimize visual environmental impact) connected by a PP net, chosen for its resistance to tensile and compressive forces. Once unrolled on prepared soil and covered with a thin layer of soil and grass seeds, Green Carpet prevents soil erosion caused by atmospheric phenomena while allowing the passage of medium-weight agricultural and non-agricultural vehicles.

After a few months, the result is increased load-bearing capacity, significant resistance to erosion, and almost complete camouflage. This product is also suitable for embankment linings where nutria burrows and sudden water level rises damage the grass cover.

Remove any existing grass cover and lay fine inert or recycled material (including topsoil, provided it has sufficient load-bearing capacity).

Excavate 60 cm upstream to bury and securely anchor the initial part of the roll.

Lay the carpet, sow grass mix, and cover with soil up to a few centimeters above the PP net level.

Installation can be done on mixed slopes by keeping the roll elevated with a balance to accommodate uneven terrain.

Drive-over grid

Reinforced vibrated concrete grating plates placed on the ground to support road loads and prevent erosion. This product has appropriate through-holes for drainage and grass growth. Larger similar plates can also be used for embankment linings to prevent water erosion.

Wide gutter

Load-bearing reinforced concrete channels designed for stormwater drainage. The modules feature an interlocking and alignment system. The reinforcement consists of an electro-welded mesh and one or two lifting hooks.

Monolithic gutter

Vibrated reinforced concrete gutter for directing stormwater along road margins. It does not require an overhead grating but must be properly marked as an "open gutter."

Trapezoidal channel

A trapezoidal channel for surface water collection and drainage. Also available in brown for a lower landscape impact, it features two through-holes for handling and installation.

Embankment grating

Our reinforced concrete grates are designed to line embankments of streams, canals, and rivers to prevent erosion caused by sudden water flow increases and damage from nutria burrows. The trapezoidal shape facilitates installation on curved sections and forms a "border" that is not entirely perpendicular to the water flow. Holes can be either through or not and are designed to provide a grip for people or animals accidentally falling into the water. To minimize landscape impact, grates can be produced in brown. The large size and weight ensure stability and resistance to impacts from boulders carried by stormy torrents.
For nutria-induced collapses, Green Carpet rolls are recommended to consolidate the soil, prevent animal burrowing, and result in a fully green and natural embankment once the grass grows between the blocks.

Prefabricated blocks

Prefabricated concrete elements for constructing retaining walls for embankments and other uses. Featuring two through-holes (40 cm in diameter) with corresponding interlocks and a handling hook. The holes within the resulting wall can be filled with reinforcement and concrete for additional structural rigidity. These elements allow for walls with any curvature radius. Additional accessories are available, such as foundation plates, "thermal caps," and half-blocks.

Muroverde

The construction of retaining walls along roads and gardens is necessary to limit the space occupied by natural slopes or reinforce structural integrity. Traditional concrete walls are unaesthetic, expensive, and require building permits. The Muroverde structure ensures stability and strength while integrating seamlessly into the environment by hosting ornamental plants that cover it. It allows for walls with adjustable inclinations and both concave and convex curves.
