It is widely known that Reinforced Earth solutions are essential for building structures for all types of construction. Terre Armée also offers a wide set of precast elements.
We work at developing, building and improving roads and bridges, railways, mining sites, industry and energy facilities, military facilities, and residential and urban development. Most, if not all of these applications involve the use of precast or cast-in-place concrete structures.
Today more than ever, planners and builders prefer to specify precast concrete solutions rather than specifying cast-in-place solutions. Engineers and builders recognize the need to streamline the design process, accelerate construction timelines, simplify installation procedures, and reduce environmental impacts related to the constraints associated with installing cast-in-place concrete.
Our historical success in designing and supplying traditional precast core elements for a variety of retaining wall solutions, namely Reinforced Earth® and precast arch structures has led Terre Armée to develop a wide range of supplementary precast elements that are necessary for building both traditional and innovative structures. Our established line of pre-engineered, precast concrete supplementary elements already include these and more:
- Protective “top-out” features such as road and railway traffic crash barriers and parapets
- Decorative wall trim features such as copings, collars, false columns
- Footings, leveling pads, sleeper slabs and approach slabs
- Post-and-panel and other noise walls and fencing solutions
- Sea walls, revetment cubes and articulated concrete blocks
- Crane lifting counterweights
- L-shape retaining wall units
- Column and pile formers
- Bridge headstocks and pier caps
Reinforced Earth combines their engineering and manufacturing experience with a continuous and ambitious research and development program. This enables us to offer an extensive portfolio of solutions for value-engineering and design-build project requirements whenever precast or cast-in-place concrete structures are specified or are needed on demand.
Our professional teams of engineers, designers and operations managers invite you to challenge them in providing you with a precast concrete element solution for your project.
Benefits
Customized design approach
Customized design approach
We realize that no two projects are exactly alike. Our engineers and designers strive to deliver product shapes, dimensions and finish that fit squarely with each individual application.
The value of verification
The value of verification
Whether through FEM, or full-scale crash testing, or noise reduction testing for noise walls, we take the steps to ensure verification and certifications for our materials and designs that we furnish for your project.
Safety and the environment
Safety and the environment
Our solutions reduce or eliminate the need for additional onsite formwork, long-term scaffolding and material deliveries that could increase the risk of injury or cause damage to the surroundings.
