By building stable walls capable of bearing heavy loads with little settlement, Reinforced Earth® can be extended to abutments directly supporting bridge decks.
These structures are located at both ends of a bridge and clearly spotlight the technology's unique capabilities. Although the general principle of Reinforced Earth® remains the same, the settlement restrictions, loads and stresses involved with this type of structure are extremely high.
Bridges constructed in front of water bodies and rivers can be protected against erosion by using the TechRevetment® technology.
