As part of their growth strategy , the Mahou San Miguel Group decided to remodel the mineral water factory and bottling plant in the historic spa town Solán de Cabras .
In order to protect and preserve the very scenic natural environment around the bottling plant , private passenger traffic towards the spa was separated from the delivery traffic for the bottling plant . The company CRC was therefore awarded the contract for the construction of two separate roads on different levels . Construction work was carried out under strict environmental supervision . several retaining walls had to be erected to protect the slopes next to the planned alignments , some of which were permanently tied back using GEWI ® Soil Nails .
For the permanent slope stabilization in this area , DSI Construction Spain supplied 258 double corrosion protected ( DCP ) 25mm Ø GEWI ® Soil Nails as well as 385 DCP 32mm Ø GEWI ® Soil Nails . DSC supplied the soil nail systems including nuts and anchor plates and also provided the equipment needed for installation .
