Water Structures

Turkey's Innovative Geotechnical and Infrastructure Engineering Company

Water structures are engineering projects built for the transportation, storage, control, and management of water. Various infrastructures such as dams, canals, river regulations, ponds, marine structures, and flood protection systems fall within the scope of water structures.

Atlas Geo produces safe, long-lasting, and environmentally sensitive solutions for water structures with designs and implementations that comply with international standards. By effectively utilizing innovative geosynthetic technologies according to project requirements, we provide engineering solutions for ground and structural problems related to water.

The use of geosynthetic materials in water structures is critically important for both structural safety and environmental sustainability. The main geosynthetic applications used include:

1. Geomembranes

Function: Provides impermeability, prevents water leakage to unwanted areas.
Usage Areas: Dam body coating, pond and reservoir liners, wastewater pools.

2. Geotextiles

Function: Provides filtration, separation, and protection. Prevents soil erosion and supports drainage systems.
Usage Areas: River regulations, canal beds, coastal protection structures.

3. Geocomposite Drainage Systems

Function: Helps direct water in a controlled manner by providing high drainage capacity.
Usage Areas: Dam embankments, flood protection levees.

4. Geogrid Systems

Function: Provides soil stabilization and reinforcement.
Usage Areas: Dam fill structures, slope protection systems, marine reclamation projects.

5. Geosynthetic Tubes and Mats

Function: Regulates water flow, prevents coastal and channel erosion.
Usage Areas: Breakwaters, marine structures, coastal rehabilitation projects

Geosynthetic solutions find wide application in different areas of water structures:

Dam and Pond Construction: Body coating, fill stabilization, waterproofing.
Canal and Waterway Projects: Bed lining, leakage control, flow regulation.
Flood Protection Systems: Embankment reinforcement, impermeability, and drainage systems.
Coastal Protection and Marine Structures: Wave energy reduction structures, erosion control.
Water Storage Facilities: Drinking water and wastewater pools, water reservoirs.

1. Impermeability and Water Management

High impermeability is achieved through geomembranes, minimizing water losses.

2. Structural Stability and Longevity

Geosynthetic reinforcements extend the lifespan of water structures by increasing the stability of fill materials.

3. Environmental Protection

Environmental risks such as soil erosion, pollution, and habitat degradation are minimized. Water resources are protected.

4. Cost and Time Savings

The use of lightweight materials reduces transportation, labor, and application times; projects become more economical.

5. Flexible Design Possibilities

Offers solutions that can be specifically designed for different geotechnical conditions and water structures.

6. Durability

Geosynthetic materials with high resistance against chemical, biological, and UV effects provide long-term performance.
