The Balfour Beatty/Skanska/Costain/Atkins JV building the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme needed robust and economical abutments for three temporary bridges crossing the River Great Ouse and the A14.
Tensar’s TensarTech TR2 reinforced soil wall system delivered stable, low-cost retaining walls for theload-bearing bridge abutments, which allowed heavy construction traffic to move easily between sites on either side of the A14, which remained open throughout the project, saving significant time, labour and cost.
