The infrastructure needs of an airport are complex, with airlines, passengers, and cargo requiring effective, safe, and affordable means of transportation. It comes to no surprise that some of the largest Reinforced Earth® structures in the world have been built for airports and that we have realized more than 150 airport projects. As airports continue to evolve with new technology, security, and capacity upgrades, Terre Armée provides reliable solutions and many advantages specific to airports.

Benefits

Reduction in land use

Reduction in land use

Our precast structures enable reduction in land use. Building in restricted environments, such as in the presence of nearby infrastructures, hills, coastal areas and natural water channels, is crucial for many airport projects.

Resistance to heavy loads

Resistance to heavy loads

Our precast structures support heavy loads. Even for high walls, our Reinforced Earth® structures withstand loads generated by large aircrafts, such as the Boeing 747 whose fully-loaded weight is close to 400 tonnes.

Fast and predictable construction

Fast and predictable construction

Our precast structures’ construction is fast and predictable. Meeting construction phases and deadlines with minimal disruption to traffic is critical for airport projects. Allow yourself the peace of mind of being able to plan ahead.
