    Construction of the new Busway Park and Ride close to Junction14 of the M1 Motorway at Milton Keynes required the improvement and widening of the A5130 feeder road from the nearby Northfield roundabout.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Predicted increases in traffic volume meant that the original single two-lane road had to be widened to a dual two-lane and cross a culverted stream at a point immediately adjacent to the Busway site.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Environmental and aesthetic requirements as well as unforeseen construction delays meant that a conventional reinforced concrete retaining wall for the roadway embankment was not viable.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Main contractors Balfour Beatty wanted a steep-faced embankment which would fit within a restricted construction corridor and that could be built quickly and blend readily with the semi-mature vegetation that bordered the site.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Three Green Terramesh\u00ae reinforced slopes with a total length of 240m and a maximum height of 3.6m run south from the Northfield roundabout to the Busway access road and return into the abutments to the newly widened pedestrian under-bridge.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The Green Terramesh\u00ae reinforced slopes provided the steep-faced green solution and were straightforward to install within the tight construction schedule. It readily accommodated the differing site levels and its flexibility allowed the construction of crisp 90\u00b0 returns to the pedestrian under-bridge as well as gentle curves where the Green Terramesh\u00ae slopes merge with the Northfield roundabout and Busway access road.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    During installation, the topsoil wedge behind the face of the Green Terramesh\u00ae embankment was impregnated with a selected seed mix and vegetation rapidly established to an extent where the structure was barely visible beneath the natural cover.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
