Water authorities

The Dutch government is stimulating the use of new technologies and innovations for roads and dykes. Knowledge about dyke reinforcement, for example, is shared by engineers worldwide in order to help other countries with water safety. GeoCrete® works together with managers and engineering firms. In the Netherlands, the GeoCrete® additive has been successfully used for dyke reinforcement and harbour plateaus for over ten years. Besides the advantage of a high-quality foundation under roads and structures, GeoCrete® offers solutions for failure mechanisms on dykes that involve little or no soil displacement.

Applications

Dirt roads and rural roads
Foundations under asphalt roads
Widening roads by stabilising the verge
Roads, cycle paths and maintenance roads around dykes
Foundations for temporary or permanent buildings (event sites)
Natural paved surfaces such as roads to wind turbines and plot paths
Temporary crane positions
Industrial sites, including optimisation of the structure and subsidence prevention
Creation of foundation plateaus using the available soil
Solutions for failure mechanisms on dykes
Paved surfaces and structures that bear heavy loads, such as container terminals, lorry parks

Advantages

Faster
Reduces costs
No soil displacement necessary
Less primary raw materials necessary
Better force distribution
Less nuisance and CO2
Reusable
