Repsol's Nuevo Mundo
Overview
Location: Cusco, Peru
Project Type: Slope Stabilization
Application: Steep Slope
Product Used: ARMORMAX
Problem
The slopes at the Flowline of Repsol’s Nuevo Mundo O&G Platform were eroding away, threatening the stability of the gabions at the bottom of the hill. A solution was needed that would not only prevent future erosion, but stabilize the slopes as well.
Solution
INMAC Peru proposed the installation of Propex’s ARMORMAX® solution, which is comprised of High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats (HPTRMs) and Engineered Earth Anchors™ (EEA) that work together to lock soil in place and protect against hydraulic stresses. The system provides dynamic erosion control and slope stabilization solutions, which is why it was chosen for this project.
Performance
ARMORMAX was installed along the slopes to provide stabilization and permanent erosion protection. Immediate vegetation allowed the system to perform extremely well, even during aggressive and continuous rains common in the Peruvian jungle.
