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.

Sixteen underpasses for dual carriageway
For improved access to North-East Friesland, a 24 km long dual carriageway has been constructed between Dokkum Zuid and Nijega. Genap was commissioned to apply geomembrane constructions for all 16 underpasses to keep the passages, which are located below the groundwater level, dry.

Waterproof membrane structure for sewage system
Genap constructed a water-retaining membrane system for the installation of a sewage system below the groundwater level. The membrane system was submerged based on its own weight, without the use of a pontoon, to save costs and maximize efficiency.
