The Most Profitable in its Sector
The Geometri ACDR X-4 Asphalt Core Dam Machine is a cutting-edge construction solution for building asphalt-core embankment dams. Unlike traditional clay-core dams, the ACDR X-4 uses a dense, flexible asphalt concrete core to create a watertight, durable barrier, offering superior impermeability, adaptability to ground movements, and long-term performance.
With advanced hydraulic automation, integrated compaction, and continuous paving capabilities, the ACDR X-4 ensures efficient, safe, and high-quality dam construction for large-scale infrastructure projects worldwide.
1. Simultaneous Layer Placement
The ACDR X-4 can place the asphalt core and adjacent transition zones in a single pass, similar to a 3D printing process, ensuring uniformity, precision, and time efficiency.
2. High Placement Speed
Modern technology allows the machine to construct asphalt cores at rates of up to 750 mm per day, significantly reducing construction timelines while maintaining structural integrity.
3. Integrated Compaction
Equipped with built-in vibratory and tamping plates, the ACDR X-4 compacts asphalt as it is laid, guaranteeing uniform density, high impermeability, and minimal cold joints.
4. Hydraulic Control & Automation
Fully hydraulic and automated, operators can precisely control layer thickness, width, slope, and compaction pressure from an advanced control panel. This ensures accurate placement even on steep slopes or irregular dam profiles.
5. Continuous Operation
The machine allows continuous asphalt placement along the dam’s length, reducing cold joints and increasing the watertight integrity of the structure.
The ACDR X-4 revolutionizes dam construction by combining:
With the Geometri ACDR X-4 Asphalt Core Dam Machine, you can build safer, more durable, and environmentally sustainable dams with confidence, speed, and precision.
Asphalt core dams, especially common in European countries and now being implemented in Turkey at the Kars Karakurt Dam and the Siirt Çetin Dam, are a type of dam. These dams prevent water leakage due to asphalt’s low permeability, resulting in less material usage and cost savings compared to clay core dams. Additionally, asphalt casting processes are resistant to challenging weather conditions and can continue even in the rain, reducing construction time loss. However, there are disadvantages such as the imported raw material for asphalt and the difficulty of casting during summer months. Nevertheless, cost and performance analyses of this dam type suggest that it could be a pioneer for future projects in Turkey
