2 CONSTRUCTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR URBAN MOBILITY P R O J E C T S The value of ex of the worldw in Reinforce Reinforced Earth grade separation Reinforced Earth Retaining LIMITED LAND USE FOR A BETTER URBAN INTEGRATION Urban mass transportation projects are made very complex by the lack of available space in cities. In comparison to other techniques, Reinforced Earth requires limited footprint and, as such, makes easier their integration in urban environments. HIGH TECHNICAL PROPERTIES AND FLEXIBLE GEOMETRY Reinforced Earth retaining structures are used in many countries to support high speed and heavy railways. Our techniques simultaneously provide unique key benefits such as strength, resilience and durability. EFFECTIVE AND SAFE CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY The Reinforced Earth, TechSpan and TerraLink techniques are widely used in public infrastructure projects because they require only a short construction time and a minimum right-of-way so traffic disruption is considerably reduced. SUCCESSFUL LANDSCAPING AND ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRATION Reinforced Earth offers limitless aesthetics possibilities. Around the world, our teams are used to work closely with architects and city planners to design tailored solutions that meet the most exacting architectural and environmental constraints.

5 TECHNIQUE Reinforced Earth The original Reinforced Earth technique combines select granular, engineered backfill with steel or synthetic tensile reinforcements and a modular facing system. This ideal combination creates a durable, mass gravity retaining wall. TechSpan is a precast concrete arch system associated with an engineered backfill. TechSpan TerraLink TerraLink allows building new Reinforced Earth type walls connected to retaining structures such as slopes stabilized by nailing or existing retaining wall.

6 A WORLDWIDE NETWORK OF EXPERTS FOR YOUR PROJECTS Our engineers provide their assistance at every stage of the project: + Conception and feasibility + Design + Procurement + Construction + Maintenance + Upgrade Experience Reinforced Earth enables projects stakeholders, owners, consulting engineers, architects, city planners and main contractors, to benefit from the experience collectively accumulated for more than half a century.
