In the slope stabilization project executed for ArcelorMittal, located in Brazil, a structural solution composed of four levels of TECWEB walls with geocells was developed, designed to provide stability under demanding geotechnical conditions.

The three-dimensional geometry of the cells enables efficient confinement of the infill material, allowing the use of locally available soil and significantly reducing costs associated with the selection and transportation of aggregates.

This technical decision proved critical given the type of soils present in the area. The system’s strength is based on the improvement of the mechanical behavior of the infill, generating pseudo-cohesion and enabling the formation of robust and stable structures. Additionally, the construction simplicity of the TECWEB wall facilitates its implementation without the need for specialized labor, increasing its competitiveness compared to conventional solutions in large-scale projects.

Within the context of excavation works carried out for the infrastructure of the Kallpa thermoelectric power plant in Chilca – Lima, the perimeter fence was exposed to unstable conditions that compromised its structural integrity. In response, a TECWEB gravity wall was implemented as an efficient, safe, and versatile containment solution adapted to the operational environment. This structural system, composed of three-dimensional geocells, provides a flexible and rapidly installed solution, with the ability to integrate different types of infill materials such as soils, soil-cement, or concrete.

Accordingly, concrete was selected as the infill material, maximizing the wall’s strength and durability. The versatility of the TECWEB system, together with its compatibility with locally available infill materials, made it possible to optimize construction timelines and ensure slope stability, consolidating it as a reliable and safe technical solution to address geotechnical challenges in industrial facilities.
