In 2021, ATALUS intervened on a technical and strategic site near Kolwezi airport, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to build access ramps for a road interchange.

Objective of the project

• Reduce embankment volumes and soil movements
• Stiffening and stabilizing embankments
• Building an 8 m retaining wall that is durable and secure

Solution implemented

More than 9,500 Atalus 120s were installed in reinforced concrete, ensuring the stability of the structure while coordinating the work with the adjacent engineering structures (bridges and interchange).

Project carried out for Office des Routes — Direction Provinciale de Kinshasa, in collaboration with Groupe Forrest International.

Results

• Heavily reduced embankment
• Stiffened and stabilized embankment
• Functional, solid and secure access ramp

This project illustrates the performance of the Atalus 120s for high-rise infrastructures, as well as the ability of ATALUS solutions to adapt to demanding international contexts, by combining local engineering and modular support.
