Sustainability and resilience are the new imperatives for the design of retaining structures. Conventional massive wall structures are abandoned in favor of greener earthworks, that are more respectful of the environment, use eco-friendly materials and apply socially acceptable practices. But what about longevity and safety? Can we guarantee reduced carbon footprint without compromising operational and life-safety targets?
Our expertise
Our team knows what it takes to endow green attributes into geo-structures. Over the last decade we have been working along three parallel streams:
- Exploring the use of local soils or recycled demolition material as a backfill for common retaining structures
- Optimizing the design of mechanically stabilized walls as a means to reduce their carbon footprint
- Exploiting green soil reinforcement concepts as an alternative to conventional steel grids.
Empowered by our deep understanding of vulnerabilities, we use highly technical performance-based methodologies to assess the damage potential and resilience of any type of retaining or underground structure to exceptional climatic stressors and geohazards.
