Dilovası, Kocaeli
Site Conditions
- A stepped fill was required for recreational use beneath an existing viaduct constructed to provide internal transportation within the factory site.
- Construction of a conventional engineered fill using placement and compaction procedures was disadvantageous in terms of equipment mobilization and construction duration.
Designed Solution
- Construction of the stepped fill using geofoam block technology.
Advantages of the Applied Geotechnology
- Compared with conventional engineered fill construction requiring placement and compaction, the project was completed within a substantially shorter construction period without major equipment mobilization constraints.
