The urban environment involves building commercial space and logistical infrastructure to support economic sustainability of the region.
This commercial space will normally include:
- Office buildings
- Retail centers
- Car parks
- Warehouses
- Ports, shipyards and rail spurs
Geoquest offers a variety of vertical retaining wall solutions using Reinforced Earth, TerraLink, T-Wall, and TechWall. reinforced soil slopes and “green” walls are furnished.
Tunnels and buried structures for the conveyance of people and goods are addressed with our TechSpan precast arch solution, and TechBox.
Warehouses, ports and rail spurs
Moving goods between locations in order to reach retailers and customers involves a cycle of receiving, handling, storing, and transferring. Each part of the cycle entails its infrastructure design approach.
Whether planning around roadways, railways or airports, these structures require careful logistical planning. For instance warehousing of goods normally entails large land-use in areas within or nearby the cities that are not zoned for tenant and office space but rather as industrial zones. Poor soils at these industrial locations require specialized developing and Geoquest is equipped with professional engineering to tackle these challenges.
For robust erosion protection, Geoquest answers to the needs of builders with various solutions using our ArmaWeb geocells and TerraGreen turf reinforcement mattresses.
Soil nails and anchors for a stabilized landscape
The need for soil nailing and anchoring is common in site development for the reinforcement of excavated embankments. Whether for permanent or temporary applications, Geoquest designs solutions and supplies TerraNail and TerraAnchor for such applications.
Barriers for protection against the effects of avalanche or rockfall.
When building in areas exposed to rockfall or avalanche risks, putting in place protective measures is of outmost importance. Geoquest designs and supplies materials for the construction of rockfall protection bunds, barriers, nets and avalanche barriers.
Our solutions allow:
Vision, development, delivery
Our engineers and sales teams work closely with municipal and agency representatives, and together decide on the best solutions and set measures of ensuring durability and dependency of their urban works.
Attention to ergonomics and economics
We address the constraints and sensitivities of building in the urban environment. Minimizing needed space, time, and cost are all factored into the Geoquest approach to our works.
Eco-friendly and environmentally responsive
Implementation of eco-friendly solutions. For example designing attractively finished structures made from thin elements, using recycled materials whenever possible are a part of our “Green is Great” ambitions.
