Our rivers and waterways are essential assets to be maintained, protected, and preserved. Our MSE walls for rivers and waterways are designed and built to resist the combined forces of turbulent water and water borne debris, which can be highly destructive during and after storms and floods.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The Reinforced Earth\u00ae solution<\/a> has been used for more than 50 years to build structures adjacent to waterways. Reinforced Earth\u00ae MSE walls for rivers and waterways resist the combined forces of water and impact of debris mobilized by strong currents. Reinforced Earth\u00ae walls are combined with proper backfill materials to ensure adequate drainage, especially if the structure is subjected to sudden rapid drawdown and natural tide levels. Our wide choice of soil reinforcement materials, both geosynthetic and steel allows our solution to be used for all types of water conditions including fresh, brackish, and saline.<\/p>\n For crossing rivers and waterways, bridges<\/a> are essential civil-engineered waterway structures. TechSpan\u00ae<\/a> is a cost effective precast concrete arch solution for this application. The combination of TechSpan\u00ae arches and Reinforced Earth\u00ae structures allows the design of arch bridges and conveyance structures that blend into the environment. TechSpan\u00ae structures are used to construct bridges, hydraulic passes, material and water conveyance tunnels, and other hydraulic works in single or multiple spans.<\/p>\nRiver and waterway crossing solutions<\/h2>\n
