The petrochemical refinery has an estimated investment value of USD&nbsp;6.3 billion. It is also located in an earthquake sensitive area. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Having acquired the project site which is located in an earthquake sensitive area, STAR Rafineri A.S. decided to enlarge it. Due to the site topography, a total of 13 terraces were planned which shall be mostly used for supporting the large tanks storing the by-products.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Because the site is prone to high seismicity, the selected solution needs also to be highly resilient to withstand the earthquake forces, high pore water pressure, very steep slope and substantial subsurface water flows. <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"container-full text-bocolor-block-green\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12\">\n                        <h3>Solution<\/h3>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>    \n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12 content\">\n                        <p>Tekno Maccaferri conceived a hybrid reinforced soil solution for these tall retaining structures combining their Terramesh\u00ae System and ParaLink\u00ae high strength geogrids which would enable the soil to accommodate greater loads and stand at steeper angles.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The system is based on the principles of soil reinforcement where tensile elements, i.e. high strength polymeric geogrids, are introduced in the soil mass as reinforcement to retain the soil vertically, or at a steep slope.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The flexibility of Maccaferri\u2019s hybrid solution over conventional retaining structures made it the ideal choice for this high terrain project due to its inherent ability to accommodate differential settlements and vibrations due to dynamic forces. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The free draining nature of the facia will also help the dissipation of pore water pressure in a very effective way. <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div><!--usedproducts-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tekno Maccaferri conceived a hybrid reinforced soil solution for these tall retaining structures combining their Terramesh\u00ae System and ParaLink\u00ae hig<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32536,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","stories-category":[],"stories-tag":[],"class_list":["post-101846","stories","type-stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"products":[105560],"applications":[105305,105305],"solutions":[105404],"sectors":[105257]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SOCAR TURKEY AEGEAN REFINERY (STAR) PROJECT - Maccaferri T\u00fcrkiye<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ba\u015far\u0131 Hikayelerimizi Ke\u015ffedin: SOCAR TURKEY AEGEAN REFINERY (STAR) PROJECT.
