Project overview with temporary shoring

Slope Stability - L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre - Temporary Shoring 2024

TECCO mesh replaces concrete cladding and is covered by French norm NF P 94-270.

In a very short time, a 1.2-meter-thick invert partly backfilled the temporary support. In the end, the underpinning will be completely covered behind the concrete cap.

145 meters of mesh will help to temporarily stabilize the bedrock for the construction of the civil engineering structure.

During the winter when the civil engineering work is carried out, the TECCO maintains its stabilizing role.

Initial situation

The main access to Andorra via the Ariège is the RN320, which is in a prime avalanche corridor at L’Hospitalet-près-l’Andorre. To secure this access, the South-West National Road Authority opted for a 300-meter-long concrete tunnel. This civil engineering structure requires the construction of a nailed wall to free up the inverted right-of-way.

Description

We supported Botte Fondation’s response to the call for tenders by varying the provisional concrete nailed wall over a linear stretch of 145 meters with TECCO flexible facing. With this variant, a temporary shoring, in addition to saving time and the management of the shotcrete, the company was able to avoid placing 100 m³ of concrete while guaranteeing the perfect behavior of the structure.
