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:
