1 PRODUCT BROCHURE ArmourWall WATER DEFENCE LEVEE WALL SYSTEM

2 ArmourWall Levee Wall System The ArmourWall Modular Wall System is unique for the following reasons: : Allows you to embed the facia system, that is, the composite sheet piling, to depths that are required to create more secure structures in weak or saturated soils. : The global stability and piping issues of design can be addressed by embedment depth using composite sheeting. : It is 100% synthetic, no metal parts means infinite service life. : Can be used in marine environments where other products cannot. : Significantly smaller footprints to traditional earthen berm levee systems. : The use of geogrid materials allows the use of native soils, reducing the need for expensive foreign material. : Geogrid allows the designer to specify a lighter gauge sheet piling, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of dollars on a project. : Composite sheet piling is lightweight, reducing transportation and machinery installation costs, whilst also increasing installation speed which reduces project construction time.

3 Sheet piles walls tie to themselves with GridSpine and Geogrid. Geogrid Reinforcement Composite Connecting Rod THE ENGINEERED ADVANTAGE Geogrid is designed to easily and efficiently reinforce soil slopes (RSS) and segmental block retaining walls (SRWs). It is manufactured using select grades of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resins that resist elongation, or creep, when subjected to high loads for long periods of time. These geogrids carry tensile loads applied in one direction (strength across the roll), and their open aperture structure interlocks with natural fill materials for optimum soil/geogrid interaction. GeoGrid systems, which resemble large nets, are commonly used with retaining walls. Reinforcing the wall s backfill with a GeoGrid system stops the soil load from acting on the retaining wall. Until now, however, there has not been a method for attaching a GeoGrid to a sheet pile. ArmourWall Levee System is built around the use of a vertical GridSpine, which interlocks composite rods that run horizontally through holes in the GridSpine.

4 INSTALLING THE ARMOURWALL LEVEE SYSTEM Step 1: Drive two parallel sheet pile walls at a slight batter towards each other to depth as designed. Step2: Drill the GridSpine and insert the composite rod. Place grid on ground and secure to a bottom edge by lapping grid over the rod and connecting with the bodkins. Attach to opposite wall. Step 3: Continue the earthen fill and laying geogrid behind the composite sheet wall until the design finish level is achieved. The face of the composite sheet can be painted or a false facade can be attached to it to suit architectural requirements. The top of the wall can be finished as a pathway or roadway with desired pavement, a suitable composite handrail system would also be installed.

5 Back-to-Back Design is also possible. The width of the wall may allow the design to have separate geogrids extending from the two parallel composite sheet piling walls as indicated below. The width of the wall may allow the design to have separate geogrids extending from the two parallel sheet piling walls. Benefits : Significantly smaller footprint compared to traditional earthen berm levee systems. : 100% synthetic system. No steel or other material that can corrode. :The use of geogrid material allows the use of native soils, reducing the need for expensive foreign materials. : Armour Wall composite sheet piling is lightweight, increasing installation speed, and reducing mobilisation costs on remote sites. : Global stability and piping issues can be addressed with the embedment depth of the sheet piles. : You can also place geogrid on both of the sheet pile. Which Allows you to Build a Complete Modular Levee System
