Fugro's soil survey paves way for Jamaican highway

摘要

WHEN completed, Jamaica's 234 km Highway 2000 (H2000) toll road will link towns on the southern coast to the capital, Kingston, with further branches to coastal resorts in the north, including Montego Bay. Fugro Engineering Services (FES) was appointed by Bouygues Construction to carry out a major geotechnical and cone-penetration testing (CPT) survey of soils around the causeway for foundation design and earthquake risk assessment. The work had to be carried out adjacent to the existing road in areas of mangrove swamp using the temporary access roads.
