The improvement project aimed to reduce congestion at Junction 6 of the M62 by adding two direct connections, eliminating the need for traffic to use the roundabout. Pell Frischmann worked with Laing O'Rourke and Reinforced Earth Company to develop design solutions early in the project. RECo was asked to design bridge abutments for three structures, including supporting a 28m precast concrete integral bridge deck, one of the largest ever on reinforced soil abutments. RECo's finite difference modeling showed how the reinforced earth abutments would respond to the large bridge loads. This allowed a more efficient design compared to traditional analysis methods.

The improvement project was undertaken to add two direct
CASE STUDY connections to the busy Junction 6 of the M62. This meant traffic would no longer need to use the present junction roundabout, thus M62 Junction 6 reducing congestion and delays. The project was procured under the Highways Agencys Early Improvements Contractor Involvement (ECI) scheme. This allowed Pell Frischmann and Laing O'Rourke to work with Reinforced Earth Company (RECo) in Nr Liverpool the development of design solutions at an early stage in the project. Reinforced Earth TerraQuad Bridge Abutments Challenge Pell Frischmann asked RECo to design bridge abutments for three structures. Abutments for the M62 On-Slip bridge were required to Client: Highways Agency support a 28m precast concrete integral bridge deck. This would be Consultant: Pell Frischmann one of the United Kingdom's largest integral bridge spans supported on reinforced soil abutments. Contractor: Laing ORourke RECo used an advanced finite difference program to model the Construction: 2007 Reinforced Earth behaviour and examine the structure's response to thermal effects. System: TerraQuad Solution Wall Area: 1500m The finite-difference model showed how the Reinforced Earth Max. Height 7m abutments would respond to the loading from the 28m span integral Design Load: HB bridge deck. Design Life: 120 years This detailed analysis allowed a significantly more efficient design solution to be developed when compared to the traditional methods of analysis.
