The project<\/p><\/h2><\/div>

The Guadeloupe Departmental Council<\/a> initiated the reconstruction of the Ravine La Source bridge on the RD5 at Trois Rivi\u00e8res. This was an ageing structure that no longer met current seismic standards.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The planned structure comprises two traffic lanes with a span of 23 m. The initial plan was to base each abutment with 8 bored piles. However, this solution was not compatible with the site’s access conditions.<\/p>\n

Following proposals from Bachy Balineau, the main contractor GTA proposed a more suitable foundation system, in which bearing capacity is provided by a group of 16 micropiles<\/a> per abutment. These are type III micropiles, with a borehole diameter of 250 mm and a depth of around 12 metres. They are equipped with a main tubular reinforcement (diameter 139.7 mm; thickness 12.5 mm) and an inertia reinforcement at the head (diameter 219.1 mm; thickness 12.5 mm), over a height of 5 m.<\/p>\n

To meet the requirements of the Eurocodes, additional micropiles (1 per abutment) were installed prior to the foundations of the structure, and were subjected to loading tests.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the old structure was demolished beforehand and that the drilling platforms, which are relatively cramped, are located almost 5 m below the roadway.<\/p>\n

A 200-t telescopic crane was used to access the drilling platforms and carry out all handling operations.<\/p>\n
