Installation of geomembrane constructions for infrastructure
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.
Geosynthetics for infrastructure products
Under water installation
By applying a synthetic layer, a waterproof barrier is created, allowing the infrastructure to be constructed in dry conditions.
Dry installation
In dry installation, a synthetic construction is applied for, among others, access ramps, underpasses of tunnels, aqueducts, and sunken roadways.
Highlighted projects Geosynthetics for infrastructure
Van Gelder BV Contracting Company | Hommerts, The Netherlands
Aqueduct Jeltesloot
The Jeltesloot Aqueduct, part of the Frisian Lakes project, replaces an existing bridge. The aqueduct measures 530 meters in length, 15.50 meters in width, and 15 meters in depth. Genap installed waterproof membrane constructions under the approaches of the aqueduct, which were externally inspected and found to be leakproof.
BAM Wegen North Region | Assen, The Netherlands
Membrane constructions under tunnel approaches
For the reconstruction of the Peelo Zuid road section, an underpass intersection and bicycle tunnel are planned, with membrane layers for construction pits following the U-polder principle. Genap supplied 8,000 m² of PVC membrane and 4,000 m² of protective fleece for this project for BAM Wegen bv, where spatial constraints necessitated an innovative approach.
