A load transfer platform with geosynthetics is a key geotechnical engineering solution for the construction of railways and other infrastructure. This technology optimizes load distribution and transfer from the embankment to the rigid inserts (gravel columns and controlled modulus columns), making it indispensable in areas with soft or unstable soils.
By integrating geogrids, geotextiles, and geocells, they significantly improve platform stability and reduce settlement. This not only enables the construction of railways on challenging terrain but also ensures the long-term durability and performance of the infrastructure.

Nanay Bridge Access Roads, Iquitos, Peru
Nanay Bridge Access Roads, Iquitos, Peru
Nanay Bridge Access Roads, Iquitos, Peru
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.
