Innovation at the service of users

1 October 2019 - Projects update and handover - Mexico

In Punta Mita, Tierra Armada México (Soletanche Freyssinet/VINCI Construction) has developed, on behalf of Grupo Dine, an overpass for the use of vehicles.

Prefabricated TechSpan® arches have been installed over foundations that were also prefabricated. This modular solution, combined with the installation of a temporary TerraTrel® retaining wall in Reinforced Earth® with a metal facing, made it possible to reduce construction time and to maintain traffic on this major road during the works.

The overpass has resolved the transit time problem and will enhance the quality of service for users. The project has won the Special Road Infrastructure Project of the Year prize awarded by the Mexican prestressed concrete and prefabrication association.
