GBI Saddle Road GRS Bridge Design

The new bridge at 647+50 and Saddle Road West presented SSFM the opportunity to pioneer Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil-Integrated System (GRS-IBS) bridge design and construction in Hawaii. GRS-IBS technology https://www.youtube.com/watch consists of closely-spaced layers of geosynthetic reinforcement and compacted granular fill material in a process that allows a fast, cost-effective construction of bridge support that blends the roadway into the superstructure. The Saddle Road bridge has two 12’ wide travel lanes, one 12’ wide climbing lane, 8’ wide shoulder lanes with two abutments just over 17’ in height.
