Geoquest France<\/a> contributed to the construction of the Corridor Vc highway, between Po\u010ditelj and Zvirovi\u0107i in Bosnia-Herzegovina.<\/p>\n

The project, consisted of building 11 km of highway from Pocitlj interchange up to the Po\u010ditelj bridge, connecting both banks of the Neretva River. The aims of the Corridor Vc is to enhance connectivity while improving travel times, road safety, and economic relations,\u00a0 creating a direct highway link between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia.<\/p>\n

Geoquest France<\/a> carried out the design, supply and technical assistance. Our partner Termo-Beton<\/a> managed the prefabrication and installation of 2,400 m\u00b2 Reinforced Earth\u00ae walls with GeoStrap\u00ae geosynthetics reinforcements. One of these walls reaches height of 16 meters! Several back walls connected to the bridge were built too.<\/p>\n

Geoquest<\/a> teams worked in close coordination with the contractor CSCEC<\/a> and its designer IGH<\/a> engineering, proposing the Reinforced Earth\u00ae solution as an alternative to cast in situ walls.<\/p>\n

What were the challenges?<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Complex configuration and access with significant rock excavation<\/li>\n
  • A railway line downstream of the structure needed to stay operational during the construction<\/li>\n
  • Highly variable geological and geotechnical conditions, requiring extensive investigations to define the foundation conditions for the different structures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We thank our client CSCEC<\/a> and the owner JP Autocest FBiH<\/a>, for their trust.<\/p>\n
