During the construction of the access roads to the Nanay Bridge in Iquitos, extremely soft foundation soils were encountered, with insufficient bearing capacity to guarantee the required structural stability. This geotechnical condition represented a critical challenge for the safe and functional development of the road project.
In response to this problem, a floating foundation system based on gravel columns was implemented, complemented by a geosynthetic-reinforced load transfer platform. The solution integrated geotextile and multiaxial rigid geogrid, mitigating deformations associated with soil buckling and efficiently distributing structural loads, optimizing the overall performance of the infrastructure.
