measurements of strain and resistance
until rupture. These QA/QC tests are
guaranteed by laboratory and equipment
certification provided by DAkkS
(national accreditation body of the
Federal Republic of Germany), which
ensures that testing standards are strictly
followed, in accordance with accreditation
criteria.
In addition to the specific physical and

mechanical properties, the geogrid panels
were produced in precise dimensions
according to the paneling study developed
for each section of the reinforced
embankment segment, thereby reducing
wastes from leftovers and overlaps.
The installation of geosynthetics in
the south section of the Florianpolis
Ring Road construction began in
August 2021, after the completion of
the working platforms and installation

of geosynthetic drains in areas with
extremely soft soils.
The simplicity of installation of
geosynthetics reinforcement and the
production of custom-made panels in
exact dimensions for each section of
the embankment helped facilitate and
accelerate the construction process,
allowing for an earlier completion of
this portion of the project before the
region's rainy season began. This easy
and quick installation helped the project
stay on schedule.
The revision of the specifications
based on certificates of reduction factors
for each specific product was a fundamental
step in reducing costs and ensuring
the most effective solution in the
stabilization of slopes, maintaining the
performance required when compared
with the original design.
