Solving
your project's soil problems by linking together
soil improvement technologies
Reinforced
Embankments over Soft Soils
The majority of our projects involve construction over
weak, compressible soils. The SES Effective Stress design methodology
for this type of project sets the standard for state-of-the-art design
in North America. This unique approach, proven through more than a
hundred projects nationwide, offers the following distinct advantages
over conventional design:
•
Allows faster construction
• Eliminates the need to undercut and remove soft compressible
soils
• Uses the minimum amount of soil modification and geosynthetic
reinforcement
• Requires less fill material
• Minimizes embankment footprint width thus reducing land take
in environmentally sensitive areas
• Allows steeper side slopes thus increasing usable land areas
Please browse through the following case studies to see examples of
how SES design methodology works:
