![]()
Eiffage entrusted AFITEXINOV with the construction of ponds along the A75 motorway, near Clermont Ferrand.
12,000 m2 of SOMTUBE FTB4 geocomposite were installed at the bottom of the 4 ponds to drain water under 20 cm of concrete ballast, combined with decompression stacks.
This solution, popular in the construction industry, facilitates :
- Savings in terms of earthwork and granular material volumes and transport : carbon footprint reduced by 84%
- Quick installation
- The pouring of concrete directly on the product, without clogging the geocomposite thanks to the polyethylene film
