Civil Applications

Besides the construction of houses and buildings of all kinds, JK STRUCTURE has other equally significant applications where it has demonstrated exceptional qualities in:

• Construction of Roads
• Construction and/or Repair of Tunnels (Road or Railway) and Conduits
• Vaults, Arches, Viaducts and Bridges
• Stabilization of Slopes and/or Embankments and their re-vegetalisation

• The tri-dimensional nature of the JK STRUCTURE has proven extremely efficient in the stabilization of the granular sub-bases, underneath the road surface
• Stabilizing the granular sub-bases reduces the wear and tear which improves the resistance and the longevity of the road
• The cost is generally compensated by the reduced construction times and the lesser consumption of sub-base aggregates

• The homogeneousness and resistance provided by a layer of JK STRUCTURE Panels injected with concrete (shotcrete or gunite), combined with the small amount of space consummated, have made JK STRUCTURE an unrivalled system
• JK STRUCTURE is the primary system recommended by the French Railways (SNCF) for the consolidation of ageing railway tunnels, bridges and viaducts, as well as in the construction of tunnels in soft terrain

The tri-dimensional nature of the JK STRUCTURE allows it to be very efficiently anchored to slopes and embankments. A various combination of anchors can be used in conjunction with the JK STRUCTURE System. It then retains aggregates like stones, gravels and fertilised soil which allows for grass, plants and trees to be planted. This further allows for the consolidation of slopes and embankments. Even when the only solution would have been a concrete wall, JK STRUCTURE could be the alternative solution.

JK STRUCTURE has over the last twenty years accumulated countless references in Europe, Asia and the USA in the stabilization of soils, including the consolidation of slopes, embankments and the protection against erosion.
