A system that includes a plurality of front faces configured to be arranged end-to-end in a series. Adjacent front faces are connected together by a different X-shaped or X-wye connector that facilitates installation of reinforcement tail walls. At least one tail wall is connected to each connector. A redundant reinforcing tail wall may be constructed and attached to one of the connectors to provide alternative load path(s).

This patent pertains to secondary containment systems. One implementation includes a support assembly that includes an elongate post member and a stabilization plate. In one instance, a stabilization plate is mounted on the elongate post member to reduce movement of the elongate post member when the stabilization plate is embedded in the ground. Another implementation includes a panel splice assembly including reinforcing members that secure overlapping, corrugated panels.

An apparatus and method for endwise connecting subterranean barrier members is disclosed. The apparatus includes at least two barrier members with each barrier member extending between top and bottom edges. Further, each barrier member has a side first edge having a flange defining a first connector and an opposed second side edge having a channel defining a second connector. The channel is sized and shaped to receive the flange of an adjacent barrier member in slidable interconnection therein. The apparatus further include a first side panel shaped to lie against a first side of the barrier members, a second side panel shaped to lie against a second side of the barrier members and a bridging plate located between the first and second panel members so as to bridge a gap therebetween, wherein the gap has a width corresponding to a width of the first and second barrier members. The associated method is directed toward creating the apparatus.

A method of manufacture of geotechnical profiles, characterized in that thermoplastic material, preferably hard and high-impact, PVC and/or PET and/or PE and/or ABS and/or PP, is plasticized in an extruder, after which it is pressed through an cross die unit ant internal reinforcing profiles (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) in the form of flat bars, arched elements, angled elements, ribbed profiles or sections of any geometry are entered to it in the entire volume, and at least in selected cross-section areas of the geotechnical profile (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15), whereas these profiles are created from continuous and/or chopped fiber produced simultaneously or as part of a separate production process. A reinforced geotechnical profile, particularly a sheet piling profiles and a mobile flood prevention devices characterized in that it is manufactured out of thermoplastic material, in which reinforcement (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) in the form of continuous fibers are entered locally or at least in selected cross-section areas, and then stabilized and maintained in position by a layer/coat made of PVC and/or PET and/or PE and/or ABS and/or PP, which is permanently and inseparably connected to the glass fibers.
