Slope Stabilization Project: Technical Solutions for Road Infrastructure Protection
Slope Stabilization Project: Technical Solutions for Road Infrastructure Protection
The slope stabilization project in Chiriquí, aimed to safeguard critical infrastructure from the threat of landslides and erosion.
Comprehensive geotechnical investigations were conducted, including soil sampling, laboratory testing, and topographic analysis.
The findings pointed to slope instability caused by runoff and soil saturation, requiring advanced slope stabilization techniques due to a limited access to the work area.
The technical solution included the use of geocells for slopes, geotextiles and concrete.
This provided effective slope reinforcement and long-term soil stability.
The approach, based on geotechnical engineering with geosynthetics, increased the slope's load-bearing capacity and resistance to environmental stress.
By applying geocell erosion control systems, the project achieved a 20% cost reduction compared to traditional methods thus eliminating the use of formwork and steel.
This case highlights the effectiveness of soil retention systems and sustainable geotechnologies in slope management.
The project serves as a model for future applications of geosynthetic slope stabilization, erosion control, and environmental engineering with geocells, demonstrating how innovative and ecological solutions can ensure the safety and resilience of road infrastructure in geologically vulnerable areas.
