As part of the modernization of road access over the Río Grande, the Yanacocha Mining Company replaced a culverted embankment with a higher-capacity structure: Bridge S-27, supported by two 10-meter-high abutments. To ensure the abutments’ stability and durability in the area’s hydraulic conditions, a reinforced soil system (RSS) with a welded mesh facade was implemented.
The first 4 meters from the base were protected with shotcrete, reinforcing the structure against the shear stresses generated by the flow of water. This integrated solution significantly improved the protection of the abutments, ensuring the bridge’s structural performance and the op
