<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Reinforced Earth’s retaining wall solutions<\/a> are recognized worldwide as the preferred economical solution to ordinary and extraordinary earth retention and load support requirements for railroads.<\/h2>\nOur retaining walls<\/a>, include Reinforced Earth\u00ae (MSE)<\/a>, T-Wall\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, and TechWall™<\/a>. For constructing tunnels<\/a> and large culverts, Reinforced Earth offers the T<\/span>echSpan\u00ae<\/a> solutions. All of these solutions are ideally suited to construct many types of railway structures supporting heavy freight rail, light passenger rail, and high-speed railways.<\/p>\nReinforced Earth applications include:<\/p>\n

And by working with Terre Arm\u00e9e, all stakeholders can reduce uncertainty and improve their bottom-line results.<\/p>\nUnder restrictive circumstances the most effective alternatives to MSE walls include T-Wall\u00ae modular<\/a> and TechWall™ counterfort<\/a> precast retaining walls. These Terre Arm\u00e9e solutions offer optimal solutions when designers are challenged with constraints related to highly restrictive rights-of-way, narrow in-fill clearances, obstructions behind the wall facing, etc.<\/p>\nWhen designers for railway widenings and twinnings encounter existing structures in close and encroaching proximity to new structures, then the shored retaining wall TerraLink™ solution<\/a> is to be considered. TerraLink™<\/a> can be constructed in front of an existing structure or natural soil or rock, with narrow space between the two.<\/p>\nCut and cover railway tunnels<\/a><\/h2>\nPrecast arches<\/a> are frequently used for the construction of railway tunnels<\/a> in built earth embankments or in cut-and-cover conditions.

The main advantages of Precast <\/a> are the material and structural quality, the rapidness of installation and the adaptability to the specific clear opening size requirements of each project.<\/p>\nPrecast <\/a> is especially efficient when building the structures over existing rail tracks below traffic when closure during installation is either not an option or must be minimized.
