ERDOX Junior

STABILIZATION OF LANDSLIDED SLOPES_Erdox Terra Junior (dim. H200x250 cm approx. or H250x200 cm approx.) is the most effective alternative solution to the classic gabion for the stabilization of landislided slopes.

ErdoX Terra Junior 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 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. Therefore, being unaffected by hydrostatic pressure, the structure shows high application capabilities even above surfaces with limited permeability.

ERDOX JUNIOR LORICATA with wooden logs covering.  The coupling to the logs is provided by struts and chain fastening systems that allow the use of logs of varying diameters that can be sourced directly on site.

Unlike classical naturalistic engineering works, the advantage in this case is the durability over time. In this case, in fact, the retaining work is borne by the steel structure while the timber logs, having only the visual mitigation function, can be simply replaced if the work needed any maintenance (for example, because not treated logs had been used). 

ROAD CONSOLIDATION_Erdox Terra Junior (dim. H200x250 cm approx. or H250x200 cm approx.) rappresentano la soluzione più rapida e sicura per la realizzazione di interventi in “somma urgenza” per  per il consolidamento di sottoscarpa stradali interessati da fenomeni gravitativi superficiali che interessano la viabilità. 

represents the quickest and safest solution for emergency consolidation of roads with surface landslides that affect the traffic. By design and construction, ErdoX Junior barriers allow the construction of elastic retaining structures capable of adapting to differential failures of the laying surface. The advantages of the system in this type of application become particularly valuable as the time factor becomes critical.

HYDRAULIC WORKS_ErdoX Junior(dim. H200x250 cm approx. or H250x200 cm ca.) is particularly suitable for the consolidation of river banks. 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 100 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.

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.

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.

It is a metal structure, with pyramid-shape, low weight, easy to transport and quick to install. The velocity of the system is ensured by the fact that it requires connection to a single foundation, whether it consists of a prefabricated plate, supplied with the system, or a passive anchor made in situ.

Prefabricated foundation plate supplied with the ErdoX system. This solution consists of burying a steel plate of suitable size, so as to ensure that a resistant action is established, as a result of the load configuration acting on the barrier. The principle is friction, because on the laying surface, the component perpendicular to the foundation due to the loads, as well as the friction coefficient given by the soil-plate interaction, produce a resisting action that opposes the pull-out of the foundation from the ground. Knowing the geometry of the problem, the size of the plate will be fixed so as to ensure a minimum pull-out safety coefficient of 1.5.

Passive anchor made on site.The type of anchor have to be chosen and dimensioned by the designer, based on the specific needs.
