HYDROTEX™ Articulating Block Linings consist of a series of compartments (blocks) linked by an interwoven perimeter and revetment cables. Ducts interconnect the compartments and high strength revetment cables are installed between and through the compartments and ducts. Once filled, the Articulating Block Linings become a mattress of pillow shaped, rectangular concrete blocks. The interwoven perimeters between the blocks serve as a hinge to permit articulation. The cables remain embedded in the concrete blocks to link the blocks together and facilitate articulation. Some relief of hydrostatic pressure is accomplished through the filtration bands formed by the interwoven perimeters of the blocks.
