Lightweight embankment

“ With a 40 to 50 kg/m3 voluminal mass, and with a strong resistance in compression, nidaplast ®RA honeycombs blocks and panels are used in lightweight embankment to substitute the weight of ground (1 800 kg/m3 voluminal mass) by cancelling and\or by reducing the overloads and vertical or lateral thrusts. Very light (95 % empty), nidaplast®RA is easy to transport and economic to install. Thanks to its good mechanical resistance and its various advantages, nidaplast®RA also prevents compacting in time by accelerating the consolidation of the ground and avoids the harmful overloads in case of free soil or non stable grounds. ”

Presentation

Nidaplast, the Ultra Light and very resistant Honeycombs Structure to lighten the road and landscaped Embankment.

The construction of embankment with ultra-light materials exists for more than 25 years with the manufacturing of blocks and panels Nidaplast in polypropylene honeycombs structures.

The use of light materials for embankment limits loads applied to the surface of the ground and improves the stability of the construction work decreasing the distortion of the ground.

The low density of the product nidaplastRA, associated with its good resistance in compression, make easy its use for lightweight embankment on free soil or compressible grounds. It can be used to lighten civil engineering works or for landscaped embankment, requiring fast and economic implementations.

For limited carrying capacity grounds, nidaplastRA is a good solution to:

- limit loads applied to the surface of the ground of the foundation or the construction work

- limit the collapses of the ground support

- decrease the side pushes
