ERDOX 2FACE (dim. H310x360 cm approx. or H360x310 cm approx. or H200x250 cm approx. or H250x200 cm approx.) represent the quickest and safest solution for the creation of ramparts or berms to be filled with selected dry material of suitable size in the case of hydraulic applications.

It is a metal structure with two rigid retaining faces connected with a tubular profile of variable length, depending on design specifications, and a system of steel cables. It is a metal structure, with light weight, easy to transport and quick to install, even in this conformation.
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;
- 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, except for the hydraulic works in which the material must be carefully selected and with proper dimension according to the design specifications);
- REDUCED COSTS.
Filling may be done directly by mechanical equipment. In this case, the bracing ropes that connect the two retaining faces have a straight course and therefore do not, considering the size of the elements, constitute an obstacle for the backfilling and compaction with vibrating vehicles.

The width at the base of the rampart will clearly be a function of the height of the rampart and the volume the ramp will need to resist the dynamic project loads. Normally, the maximum width of this type of works reaches 6.00 m approx. By design and construction, ErdoX Junior 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.Our engineering department is available to offer support in assessing the application of the system to your specific design needs.

This solution is particularly suitable in case there is no possibility of locally sourcing materials of a suitable size for the construction of boulder reefs. Since these works are to be set at a depth ΔH relative to the talweg point (depending on the design return times), the modular conformation of the solution, which does not require excavation for the entire intervention section, turns out to be important.
