Viaduct & Aqueduct Groundwork
Our Expertise in Viaduct & Aqueduct Projects
With over three decades of experience in the UK market, Aarsleff has supported some of the country’s most ambitious infrastructure projects. Our expertise in viaduct and aqueduct groundwork is backed by deep technical knowledge, in-house design capability, and our own fleet of specialist equipment.
Viaducts often require complex piling and load-bearing structures to span variable terrains, while aqueducts call for waterproofing, support structures, and engineered slopes that account for hydrostatic pressure and environmental constraints. We bring a multidisciplinary skillset to these challenges, offering end-to-end design and build services that align with today’s infrastructure demands.
We pride ourselves on working collaboratively with Tier 1 contractors and our clients to develop safe, practical and value-driven solutions for every stage of a viaduct or aqueduct project.
Piling Capabilities
As one of the UK’s leading piling contractors, we’re recognised for our high-performance viaduct and aqueduct solutions that cater to all soil types and structural demands.
Some of our piling services are:
- Precast concrete raking piles
- Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piles
- Bored piles
- H-Section piles
- Steel bearing piles
We offer rapid mobilisation, factory-controlled quality, and extensive driven precast pile stock from our sister company, Centrum Pile, to reduce lead times and improve site efficiency.
Ground Engineering Solutions
Effective ground engineering underpins every successful viaduct or aqueduct project. At Aarsleff, our ground engineering solutions ensure that the subsurface is prepared to support long-span loads, fluctuating water levels, and challenging topography.
Some of our services include:
These services are essential for managing earthworks, reducing long-term settlement, and preventing failure in the complex ground profiles often encountered along viaduct and aqueduct routes. Our in-house engineering team works closely with clients to deliver design-led solutions tailored to specific geological conditions.
We prioritise minimising environmental impact, which is essential in delivering viaduct and aqueduct foundations that meet planning requirements and align with sustainability goals.
Retaining Wall Systems
Many viaduct and aqueduct projects involve deep excavations, cuttings, or elevation changes that require retaining wall systems to manage earth pressures and protect adjoining infrastructure. We offer a comprehensive range of retaining walls designed for both temporary and permanent works.
Our retaining wall capabilities include:
Our solutions not only serve a structural function but also help improve safety, limit site footprints, and maintain environmental compliance. From canal-side aqueducts to embankment-heavy viaducts, we provide retaining walls that are tailored to site conditions and load requirements.
