Slope Stabilization
Slope stabilization is preventive systems created to prevent the flow of soil and rock slopes that are formed after the works such as building projects, road construction, dam construction, railway tracks etc or naturally existing into the working and living areas. Although it is applied with different products for different areas, it is basically based on covering the area where soil or rockfall may occur with steel mesh and wire systems with a certain strength. Since it is applied in high and risky working areas, areas that may create flow on the surface are secured by using rope access techniques. Special restraint barriers with suspension system are also created in the areas deemed necessary.
First of all, professional MIRA teams make the necessary examination in the field and determine the most suitable stabilization method according to the expectations and wishes of the project owners. Different materials and methods can be applied for different areas and needs. Before the slope area is covered, the necessary cleaning work is carried out on the surface. In this way, moving rock blocks that are likely to damage the covering, areas prone to erosion and, if necessary, bushes and wooded areas are cleaned.
Covering used for slope stabilization is also suitable for shotgrid concrete applications. In order for this application, which is made with the shotcrete system, to hold on to the surface and to create the necessary strength, steel wire covering work must be done first. Wire mesh covering systems take the shape of all recesses and protrusions of the surface, unlike other block covering systems and çesan applications. In this way, the maximum strength value is provided and since there is no gap between the surface and the application material, it provides a serious saving in the amount of concrete used. Applications made with this method provide 40% lower cost compared to other systems in terms of time and economy.
