Hundreds of anchors improve safety
grouted anchors in the form of prestressed permanent strand and bar anchors. This meant first building reinforced concrete pilaster strips in the anchor walls, to strengthen the wall and transfer the prestressing forces from the anchor through the wall to the bedrock. In order to maintain the important north-south transit link during the works, traffic in both directions was funnelled into just one carriageway and separated by traffic safety measures.
What ultimately counts in the construction business is successfully completed projects. PORR has many of these.
