Geoplast recycled plastic formwork: paving the way for road infrastructure
29 April 2024
Road construction and repair frequently take place in congested and hard-to-reach areas. Designed for fast and easy manual setup, Geoplast recycled plastic formwork simplifies road work, with improved safety, reduced machinery usage, and fewer traffic interruptions. Here are 5 road infrastructure projects made better with Geotub and Geopanel.
Marine dock, Pozzuoli, Italy
Geotub
Geotub
The column repair of the boat dock in Pozzuoli required work to be carried out in submerged conditions. Geotub was made from water-resistant recycled plastic, helping complete the task in a timely manner, which would have been challenging with wood and metal formwork.
Kerisper Bridge, La Trinité-sur-Mer, France
Geotub
Geotub
The Kerisper Bridge was built in 1958, needing a reconstruction of its entire supporting structure. Geotub was designed for lateral setup and removal, streamlining the process and significantly reducing construction time.
M50 Motorway, Dublin, Ireland
Geotub
Geotub
The M50 Motorway extension involved constructing a new roundabout over the existing highway. Geotub enabled fast and easy column construction without cranes and heavy machinery, minimizing traffic interruptions.
Palmetto Expressway, Miami, USA
Geopanel
Geopanel
The Palmetto Expressway required a new protective wall on its existing road infrastructure. Geopanel allowed manual construction in a confined space next to the busy highway, showcasing greater efficiency compared to wood and metal formwork.
Sydney Light Rail, Sydney, Australia
Geopanel
Geopanel
The Sydney Light Rail project involved constructing several large 2.5 x 1.9 x 2.4 m manholes for the sewer system access. Geopanel was small, reusable, and lightweight, allowing for the quick manual set-up of the pits in a confined area.
