Summary:

Earth Retaining Structures (ERS) are often an overlooked critical component of America's surface transportation network. Each year, more than 160 million square feet of permanent ERS are constructed in the United States. Current applications of ERS in highway projects accelerate construction, reduce costs, and enable the use of complex geometric designs. The use of ERS elements also enables vehicles to travel at increased speeds, reduces congestion, and lessens the environmental impact of highway and bridge construction. Ultimately, ERS serve as a vital tool in the successful movement of both people and goods across the country.
