Why Reinforced Earth® Interchanges? • Earthworks only – except for distribution and deck beams. • Rapid construction – Reinforced Earth® approach ramps are constructed at the same time as the Reinforced Earth® abutments. • Eliminates necessity for piles on poor foundations. • Gradual pre-loading of foundation as the construction progresses. • Settlements during and post construction are measured on Reinforced Earth® facing elements. • Eliminates long-term bump at the bridge. • Minimal traffic disruption.
