The designer adopted a very particular shape of the bridge abutment, where the two access ramps had to be built using a reinforced soil structure. The choice of Mineral Terramesh was very well appreciated because of the ease of construction and because of the nice external finishing. Moreover, the Municipality did not want to carry any maintenance of green facings, therefore the stone facing has been very well appreciated by the public authority.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"container-full text-bocolor-block-green\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12\">\n                        <h3>Solution<\/h3>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>    \n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12 content\">\n                        <p>The design of the reinforced soil structure has been carried out following the Eurocode 7 in combination with the CUR normative (Netherlands).

The possibility to modify the units to follow the exact shape of the bridge has been very well appreciated by the contractor Stadsbader NV, that later chose the same system for the big project Oosterweel Linkeroever.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div><!--usedproducts-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The design of the reinforced soil structure has been carried out following the Eurocode 7 in combination with the CUR normative (Netherlands).
