Modular BlockEXPLANATION

  • Concept

    Modular blocks are small hollow blocks with special step design, facilitating the installation and connection of the next layer. The hollow space can be filled with backfill and vegetated.

  • Application

    Waterfront access areas, such as river and pond.

  • Characteristics

    "1. Making use of in-situ soil.
    2. Easy and rapid installation.
    3. Good resistance to erosion.
    4. Providing an artistic appearance.
    5. Providing habitats along the water."

Modular BlockCONSTRUCTION PROCESS

  • Foundation Levelling

    Clean the ground surface of the site. And then establish the necessary level lines.

  • Foundation Casting

    Cast the required concrete foundation for modular blocks.

  • Backfill Separation

    Lay ACETex® behind and below modular blocks to prevent loss of backfill soil.

  • Block Arrangement

    Arrange modular blocks in accordance with the design drawing.

  • Block Filling

    Fill the modular blocks below water level with fine gravel in soil bag to form habitats.

  • Gap Filling

    Fill the top and gap between the blocks with soil or gravel and compact layer-by-layer.

Modular BlockDemonstrative Case

River Bank Protection, Taichung, Taiwan.

The original concrete embankment was collapsed due to the heavy rain. The soil of the bank was washed into the river. The hidden life threatening flood due to the silt up by the washed soil was becoming a big problem; therefore, the rebuild of embankment is a must. To protect the lives of the residence and for beatification of the environment, modular blocks were used to rebuild the structure. Modular blocks were filled with in situ soil and were vegetated. The blended artificial structure with nature is now stable and a recreational place for the residence.
