In civil engineering, approaches to underpasses, aqueducts, and sunken roadways often incorporate geomembrane constructions as groundwater barriers. The waterproof membrane must be installed at such a level that vertical equilibrium is maintained to prevent the construction from floating.
The installation of the geomembrane at depth can be done in two ways: through the sinking of geomembrane constructions, and the application of geomembranes in dry conditions. In both methods, Genap has years of experience and has completed a significant number of impressive projects.
By applying a synthetic layer, a waterproof barrier is created, allowing the infrastructure to be constructed in dry conditions.
In dry installation, a synthetic construction is applied for, among others, access ramps, underpasses of tunnels, aqueducts, and sunken roadways.
Along the A59 near Waalwijk, Genap developed a membrane construction for BAM NBM Infra & Martens van Oord for a new industrial area. 300,000 square meters of 0.8 mm PVC membrane were installed to create a watertight excavation pit and protect the nearby nature reserve from drying out.
Genap designed a liquid-tight membrane construction for a new bicycle tunnel under the N381, utilizing 12,100 m² of LLDPE membrane and 24,200 m² of protective fleece, to improve traffic flow and enhance safety by providing a separate bicycle route.
