Design of Earth Structures

ADEC offers comprehensive design services for earth structures, specializing in the design of causeway embankments. Our approach ensures that these structures are both stable and resilient, taking into account a range of critical factors.

As part of our design process, we conduct a thorough evaluation of the ground conditions, identifying potential risks that could impact the stability and performance of the causeway embankment.

Our assessment also includes an evaluation of short-term and long-term settlement using the SETTLE3 program developed by Rocscience, providing detailed insights into potential ground movement, and ensuring that any settlement issues are addressed early in the design process.

Additionally, we perform global stability assessments of the embankment slopes based on the shore protection recommendations by ADEC’s coastal team, ensuring that the slopes are adequately designed to provide stability against slope and deep-seated failure under short-term and long-term loading conditions.

This holistic approach ensures that our causeway embankments are designed for safety, durability, and optimal performance under a variety of conditions.
