BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROJECT

The study carried out by GEOS Ingénieurs Conseils is part of the project to build a tunnel under the river at Kérino to replace the existing movable bridge.

This route includes the construction of a 250 m under-river cut-and-cover tunnel and two access hoppers.

MISSION

GEOS Ingénieurs Conseils carried out the G2 project-level studies and the G4 construction geotechnical supervision studies, as defined in standard NF P 94-500.

These studies covered the following points in particular:

  • Establishment of the additional geotechnical campaign,
  • Drawing up a note of general geotechnical hypotheses,
  • Analysis of slope stability for the access hoppers,
  • Evaluation of pumping rates during the construction and final phases,
  • Assessment of vertical reaction moduli,
  • Supervision of the execution studies for the cofferdams.
