I sistemi ERDOX® vengono forniti in cantiere pre-assemblati in Kit di montaggio direttamente sulla strada camionabile più prossima al cantiere.

La filosofia alla base della soluzione ERDOX® è infatti quella di riportare in officina la maggior parte delle lavorazioni possibili, lasciando alla fase di cantiere il minimo delle lavorazioni indispensabili;
Compito dell’impresa sarà infatti semplicemente quello di provvedere all’assemblaggio delle strutture in poche operazioni, al trasporto delle stesse nel luogo di posa e al collegamento alle fondazioni preposte sulla base delle specifiche di progetto.

Le strutture Betonform sono caratterizzate da pesi estremamente contenuti che rendono semplice il posizionamento nel luogo di effettivo utilizzo attraverso i più tradizionali mezzi di cantiere.

Le caratteristiche principali legate all’impiego di questa tipologia di soluzioni possono dunque essere qui di seguito riassunte:

Elementi pre-assemblati che permettono montaggi facili e veloci (anche in siti differenti da quelli di effettivo utilizzo);
Pesi contenuti con benefici dal punto di vista del trasporto e del posizionamento in sito;
Facile e veloce installazione anche in presenza di condizioni topografiche estreme;
Maestranze ed attrezzature di cantiere estremamente ridotte;
Basso impatto ambientale (normalmente si riutilizza il materiale direttamente presente in sito, oggetto del corpo di frana);
Costruzione modulare che permette la possibilità di sbanchi settoriali e selettivi;
BASSISSIMO impatto visivo (possibilità di mitigazione e inverdimento dell’intervento);
COSTI RIDOTTI.

Il fatto che le strutture ERDOX possano sfruttare per le operazioni di riempimento lo stesso materiale risultante delle fasi di scavo riduce ai minimi termini l’impatto ambientale dell'intervento in quanto non bisogna portare materiale con idonee caratteristiche nel sito di intervento e, al tempo stesso, asportare materiale da smaltire in discarica. I pesi estremamente ridotti delle soluzioni permettono inoltre una ottimizzazione dei trasporti dei materiali in cantiere riducendo di fatto il traffico su gomma.

Tutto questo nel rispetto del principio cardine di Betonform, ovvero rispettare la Natura.

It is a metal, pyramid-shaped structure, with light weight, easy to transport and quick to install.

ERDOX SINGLE ANCHOR FEATURES:

Easy and quick installation, even in extreme topographical conditions;
Low weights with benefits for transportation and installation;
Pre-assembled elements that allow quick and easy assembly, even at different sites than those of actual installation (approx. 20 minuti to assemble one structure)
Reduced manpower and site equipment;
Modular elements that allows sectoral and selective excavation;
Low environmental impact (normally, for the backfilling, it can be used the landslided material);
Low visual impact (possibility of visual mitigation and greening of the work).

: ErdoX structures are calculated by structural calculations performed in accordance with the provisions of the current technical standards for reinforced concrete and geotechnical works, in particular:
UNI EN 1993-1-1 “Eurocode 3” – Design of steel structures - Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings;
UNI EN 1993-1-8 “Eurocode 3” – Design of steel structures Part 1 – 8: Design of joints;
UNI EN 12385-4 “Steel wire ropes – Safety”;
EN 10204:2004 “Metallic products – Types of inspection documents”;
D.M. 22.03.2018 “Technical standards for constructions”.

Each solution should be meticulously assessed and verified according to the specific project requirements. All types of Erdox barriers have been subjected to both full size and experimental tests in order to optimize the material characteristics in the development of finite element models and verify the reliability of the results obtained using calculation softwares. Our technical staff is at your complete disposal to evaluate and recommend the best design solutions.

STABILIZATION OF LANDSLIDED SLOPES

STABILIZATION OF LANDSLIDED SLOPES Erdox Terra (dim. H310x360 cm approx. or H360x310 cm approx.) represents the quickest and safest solution for stabilization of landslide slopes.

FOTO CELLA STABILIZZAZIONE VERSANTI IN FRANA

ErdoX Terra is normally used to reprofile slopes subject to local instability and is effective and cost competitive in the case of soil slip surfaces that are not excessively deep. With numerous applications in very different conditions, Erdox has so far demonstrated particular efficiency and versatility, enabling intervention even in extreme conditions with low expense and remarkable structural and mechanical efficiency. By design and construction, ErdoX barriers allow the construction of elastic retaining structures capable of adapting to differential failures of the laying surface. Its conformation allows the barrier to be considered perfectly draining. Therefore, being unaffected by hydrostatic pressure, the structure shows high application capabilities even above surfaces with limited permeability.

HYDRAULIC WORKS

HYDRAULIC WORKS_ErdoX Terra(dim. H310x360 cm approx. or H360x310 cm approx.) is particularly suitable for hydraulic works , both for the consolidation of banks and canals and for the realization of filtering weirs.

AMBITO IDRAULICO

In this type of application, the elasticity of the system, which allows high adaptability to possible differential failures of the laying surface, amplify the advantages of the solution. The application of a DT net that turns up at the foot, upstream, for about 150 cm is essential in this type of work. This precaution, in addition to increasing the friction, has the function of guaranteeing the barriers from possible emptying of the backfilling soil, resulting from the occurrence of regurgitation phenomena at the foot. Hydraulic applications require careful analysis and design directed to contain the flow of water and debris considering the maximum runoff rates and hydraulic cross sections of the site, to define the best design solution. Our engineering department is available to offer support in assessing the application of the system to your specific design needs.

BANK CONSOLIDATION

OPERE LONGITUDINALI

BANK CONSOLIDATION _They fall into the category of flexible works. In order to ensure optimal performance of these types of works, it is advisable to combine them with berms at the base to preserve the work from any regurgitation.

Consolidamento Spondale

Also important is the material used for the backfilling, which must be of a suitable size so that it does not spill out of the structures. For these reasons, hydraulic applications require careful analysis and design with the aim of containing the flow of water and debris considering maximum runoff rates and hydraulic cross sections conceived to define the best design solution. Our engineering department is available to offer support in assessing the application of the system to your specific design needs.

FILTERING WEIRS

OPERE TRASVERSALI

FILTERING WEIRS_Hydraulic protections works are aimed at the arrangement of the river basin and have the purpose of determining a balance between the water excavation and transportation phenomena exercised in the watercourses and in the riverbeds, in order to prevent excesses of either activity from causing erosion or flooding.

Briglie filtranti OPERE TRASVERSALI

It is crucial to proper insert the weir in the banks of the watercourse and the creation of an appropriate base useful to preserve the system from possible regurgitation at the basis given by the hydraulic jump generated by the construction of the cross work. Hydraulic applications require careful analysis and design directed toward containing the water flow and debris considering maximum runoff rates and hydraulic cross sections of the site made to define the best design solution.
