Ground Engineering
Ocean Global geosynthetic products are specifically manufactured to be able to respond to the most severe installation conditions. They provide an edge over traditional methods of engineering in terms of cost as well as sustainability. We have the perfect solutions for all your ground engineering or tunneling needs. Modern tunnel planning and engineering have a goal of long functional service life. Protection against the effects of groundwater and water penetrating through rock fissures is essential. The waterproofing and sealing specifications are correspondingly strict to achieve the same. Depending on the level of the hydrostatic pressure, drainage of mountain water, construction details, cut and cover, different tunnels require specialized solutions. Adequate sealing protects and safeguards the structure and reduces maintenance and repair costs.
Solutions
Ocean Global Geosynthetic Solutions For Ground Engineering Includes
- Waterproofing with polymeric geomembranes protects the structure from groundwater from the surrounding rock. Further geotextiles protect the geomembrane from installation damage. These geosynthetics are resistant to swelling, aging, and rotting and are resistant to puncture.
- Geocomposites help with drainage and management of groundwater.
- Geomembranes and geosynthetic clay liners are easy to deploy in horizontal, vertical, and overhead configurations. They serve as waterproofing tunnel linings. Not only are geosynthetic clay liners a better alternative to traditional clay barriers, but they also take up less space and more resistant to weather changes.
