Ramps and Bridges

Application Overview

Bridge approaches and access ramps demand earth-retaining systems that combine strength, durability, and construction efficiency. With over 25 years of regional experience in designing and building MSE Walls, POME delivers solutions that significantly reduce cost, simplify construction, and provide aesthetically customizable finishes suited for modern infrastructure requirements. Our design expertise enables the use of onsite materials, reducing both cost and carbon emissions.

Challenges in Ramp & Bridge Approach Construction

Heavy Surcharge & Dynamic Loads
Approaches must support continuous traffic, braking forces, and high live-load surcharges.
Differential Settlement
Rigid bridge structures and flexible embankments settle differently, creating long-term performance issues.
Space & Geometry Constraints
Confined construction zones require steep, stable, and visually appealing earth-retaining solutions.

POME’s Solution

High-Performance Geogrids for One Unified, High-Strength Structure
Utilizes advanced geogrid reinforcement to stabilize the soil mass, allowing the entire system to perform as a single, high-strength structural unit capable of supporting significant loads.
Smarter Load Distribution with Minimal Foundation Demand
Efficiently distributes loads throughout the reinforced soil mass, significantly reducing foundation pressures and, in most cases, eliminating the need for deep or complex foundations.
Fast, Cost-Efficient Construction with Lower Environmental Impact
Enables rapid and straightforward installation using unskilled labor and readily available onsite fill materials, minimizing construction time, reducing costs, and lowering overall environmental impact.
Non-Structural Facing for Seamless Architectural Integration
Features a fully non-structural facing system that supports a wide range of finishes, colors, and textures, allowing the structure to blend effortlessly with surrounding bridges and landscape designs.
