| Abstract: |
Rock fall was blocking La Réunion main road. The proposed project had four major challenges: collecting geotechnical and geological data; defining foundations; choosing the structure; environmental issues. The design process is explained and the challenges are discussed. An extensive and reliable data base interpreted by experts is essential to the design and the construction needs highly developed industrial methods. |
