Slope protection against landslides

Landslides: A Major Natural Hazard

Landslides pose a significant threat to infrastructure and communities. These events can be caused by:

• Natural Origins: Triggered by geological, hydrological, or climatic factors such as heavy rainfall or erosion.
• Human Activities: Excavations, construction, or the alteration of natural environments.

A landslide involves the movement of loose or rocky materials along a rupture surface. Such movements can be:

• Slow, causing progressive damage.
• Rapid, leading to immediate and destructive consequences.

Solutions to Protect Slopes

To prevent or mitigate landslide risks, two complementary techniques are commonly implemented:

1. Drainage:

   • Evacuates excess water contained in the soil.
   • Reduces water saturation, thereby lowering the risk of failure.

2. Retaining Structures:

   • Stabilize the terrain by mechanically resisting its displacement.
   • Can include the installation of nets, meshes, or retaining walls.

Our Slope Stabilization Services

1. HLE Nets (High Elastic Limit)

• Made of high-strength steel cables, these nets are ideal for stabilizing rocky slopes prone to landslides.
• Their elasticity allows them to adapt to terrain variations while securely retaining unstable materials.

2. HR Mesh (High Resistance)

• Designed for areas with high exposure, HR mesh offers increased resistance to tensile forces and pressures exerted by the terrain.
• It is particularly effective for reinforcing high-risk zones.

3. Three-Dimensional Geogrids

A versatile solution for unstable soil slopes, geogrids provide:

• Soil stabilization on steep inclines.
• Erosion control by limiting surface runoff.
• Facilitation of revegetation, thanks to their three-dimensional structure that blends naturally into the environment.
