During the relocation process of its ADR (Adsorption, Desorption, and Recovery) plant, SUMMA GOLD implemented a three-tier TECWEB mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall system, with each level reaching a height of 10 meters.
The structure was designed to withstand significant loads associated with mining operations, integrating criteria of flexibility under differential settlements, rapid construction, and long-term performance under demanding geotechnical conditions.
Given the rainfall regime typical of the highlands, a geocell facing with black, nonperforated Carvista finish was selected, preventing the loss of fines due to surface runoff.
This configuration not only enhanced system stability, but also improved environmental integration, consolidating TECWEB MSE as a robust, functional, and project-specific solution.
