TerraNail\u2122 soil nails<\/a> that are naturally associated with TerraLink\u00ae<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe TerraLink\u2122 connections<\/h2>\n
Our solution is intended to link an existing structure with the new TerraLink\u00ae structure. These structures are designed with either one, or a combination of two different methods for linking:<\/p>\n
> Friction link<\/strong>
\nAlternating layers of soil reinforcements, each layer connected to one or the opposing surface<\/p>\n\n- those being solely connected to the back face of the new structure<\/li>\n
- those being solely connected to the face of the existing structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
> Direct link<\/strong>
\nAll soil reinforcement connecting the two extremities are structurally linked directly to one another.<\/p>\nOne or both, friction-link or direct-link connections could apply to your project.<\/p>\n
Design approach<\/h2>\n
Key in designing the TerraLink\u00ae configuration, Reinforced Earth engineers will assess the conditions of the existing structure(s). We closely analyze the origin (existing MSE, soil nail wall, sloped terrain, bedrock, etc.), as it is important to evaluate the stability of the as-built environment. We consult with you on internal and external stability in support of the new, reconfigured structure, including revised load conditions and extended service life.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Where a standard retaining wall would require the dismantling of an existing structure, the TerraLinkTM<\/sup> system enables the construction of a new wall while keeping in place the existing structure, maintaining traffic active during the construction time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div>Rapid construction<\/h2><\/div><\/div>Rapid construction<\/h3>\n

The internal strength and overall stability of the TerraLinkTM<\/sup> composite structure provides significant static and dynamic load-bearing capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div>Adaptation to existing structure<\/h2><\/div><\/div>Adaptation to existing structure<\/h3>\n
The TerraLinkTM<\/sup> design can be adapted to fit many different existing structures, be it a soil nail wall, and existing Reinforced Earth\u00ae wall or a natural feature, such as sloped terrain or bedrock.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div>Reduced environmental footprint<\/h2><\/div><\/div>Reduced environmental footprint<\/h3>\n
Using less materials, requiring less space, and generating less CO2 than conventional construction methods, the TerraLinkTM<\/sup> technique reduces the impact on the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div>Reduced land use<\/h2><\/div><\/div>Reduced land use<\/h3>\n
TerraLinkTM<\/sup> structures require little land use and site impact during construction, which is a great advantage where construction projects need to accommodate existing infrastructure and busy urban areas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
