What we do: VSL’s solutions for road and railway infrastructure

VSL supports contractors and asset owners with design, supply, and construction services for foundations, retaining systems, and ground stabilization works, ensuring reliable long-term performance for transport infrastructure.

Foundations

Stable foundations are essential to the performance and safety of roads, railways, and associated structures such as bridges, tunnels, and viaducts. VSL, through its ground engineering subsidiary Intrafor, delivers deep and shallow foundation systems adapted to diverse geotechnical and environmental conditions, from driven, bored, or CFA piles to micropiles for constrained or urban sites. Each solution is designed and verified to ensure load-bearing capacity, settlement control, and seismic resilience.

Ground Anchors

Ground anchors are critical for stabilizing cuttings, slopes, and retaining walls along transport corridors. VSL designs and installs both temporary and permanent post-tensioned anchors, combining corrosion-protected steel tendons, precision stressing, and strict quality control. These anchors provide reliable resistance against uplift, sliding, or overturning forces, ensuring the stability of earthworks, embankments, and excavations, even in confined or complex terrain.

VSoL® Retaining Wall

VSoL® is VSL’s proprietary reinforced earth retaining wall system, combining precast concrete facing panels with soil reinforcement strips to create cost-effective and aesthetic retaining structures. Ideal for highways, railways, and industrial platforms, VSoL® walls offer fast installation, minimal maintenance, and high seismic resistance. Their modular design allows flexible geometry and efficient integration with bridge abutments, underpasses, and approach ramps, reducing both construction time and environmental impact.
