Geoplast makes infrastructure projects more profitable
-
Geoplast cuts infrastructure project costs by reducing material, time, and maintenance, substantially improving profits.
-
Below are 5 use cases of Geoplast solutions for infrastructure projects:
-
• Adnan Menderes Airport Terminal – faster foundation construction,
• Port of Palermo – less concrete used,
• San Francisco International Airport – no heavy machinery,
• Kerisper bridge, France – faster column reconstruction,
• Stormwater basin, Greece – less excavation.
Geoplast cuts build and operating costs
Geoplast innovations cut construction and operation costs by reducing material, construction time, and maintenance needs. Lighter, modular solutions installed by hand deliver sustainable profitability from construction to operation.
Adnan Menderes Airport Terminal – Modulo speeds up foundation construction
Modulo created 9,600 m² of ventilated foundations for Izmir’s new domestic terminal. Crews laid 1,600 m² in 2 days, leveling the floor above existing beams. The slab weighed 45% less than an aerated concrete fill.
Port of Palermo – New Nautilus Evo reduces concrete use
The Port of Palermo needed a faster, cheaper way to build a concrete pier. New Nautilus Evo replaced a full concrete slab in the pier design. The pier used less concrete, needed fewer machines, and gained seismic resilience.
San Francisco International Airport – Geotub and Geopanel replace heavy machinery
San Francisco International Airport Terminal 1 was rebuilt in a $2.4 billion project. Space inside the existing building was tight, and access was difficult. Geopanel formed pile caps and walls by hand. Geotub formed the columns without cranes or heavy machinery.
Kerisper bridge, France – Geotub shortens column reconstruction time
The Kerisper bridge, built in 1958, needed its round columns rebuilt during a full renovation. Geotub recycled plastic formwork was light enough to move and assemble easily on site. Simple stripping, with no release agents, significantly reduced column construction time.
Stormwater basin, Greece – Aquabox reduces excavation
Upgrading the Thessaloniki–Potidea road to 4 lanes required fast stormwater removal. Aquabox formed a 1,550 m³ underground stormwater basin that installs quickly and easily. The basin needed less excavation and handles heavy vehicle loads.
