GeoStabilization International® has unparalleled experience in repairing and rehabilitating bridge abutments, piers, back walls, and wing walls. We have engineered and installed solutions for failures caused by:
Common solution techniques include: soil nails, micropiles, shotcrete, GRS technology, grouting, and lightweight fill.
Bridge abutments can become weakened over time due to excessive earth pressure and scour. By evaluating and deploying our engineered solutions, GeoStabilization International’s team will repair and strengthen the bridge substructure while keeping the bridge open to traffic.
Wing walls may begin to fail due to poor drainage and improperly set footings or vertical supports. This failure will result in walls cracking, bowing, or leaning, which can be a severe hazard to the public and traffic above. Stabilization of wing walls can be rectified by reinforcing subsoils and with various technologies such as soil nails, shotcrete, and more.
As abutments crack and wear from deteriorated concrete and settlement, refurbishment is an optimal solution as it reduces the permitting requirements and the work can be completed outside the stream with little to no demolition.
Typical mitigation applications can be of wood, concrete, steel, gabions, or stone construction. GeoStabilization International has revolutionized bridge rehabilitation with technologies that allow for old bridge abutments to remain in place instead of deconstructed and rebuilt, saving both time and money.
GeoStabilization utilizes the most innovative and advanced technology available for bridge substructure repair and rehabilitation, extending the abutment service life up to 75 years.
