PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS

the railway crossing no.46 (PN 46) at the northern exit of the town of Sallanches, at the intersection of secondary road RD1205 (ex RN 205) and the railway line that connects La Roche sur Foron to Saint-Gervais les Bains. It is one of the 400 concerning PNs, identified by the Ministry of Infrastructure, RFF and SNCF, at the national level. In the chosen solution, the RD 1205 is slightly deflected and passes under the railway by a hopper and a lower passing way and joins the South roundabout. The structure is 225m long and about 15m wide. Because the groundwater level is located at a shallow depth and the permeability of the ground is high (gravelly alluvial deposits in Arve), the structure requires the use of a temporary sheet pilling support combined with a hydraulic plug at the bottom of the excavation. The final structure is a concrete open trench with a rail bridge in the middle.

ASSIGNMENT

GEOS conducted a G5 mission of expertise and geotechnical assistance within the meaning of the standard NF P 94-500.

These studies particularly addressed the following points:

  • Definition of complementary geotechnical and hydrogeological investigation programs;
  • Assistance to the project management for the piloting of the G2 mission, Project Phase carried out by an external geotechnical BE.
