FedEx Hub Selects Belgard for Largest Segmental Retaining Wall System
Completed this past summer, the sprawling new FedEx Ground Distribution Hub in Middletown, Connecticut, by many measures, qualifies as one the state's all-time largest construction projects, with the largest segmental retaining wall on the continent to date. To begin transforming the previous Aetna site into FedEx's airport-style nexus of distribution, massive volumes of earthworks needed to be reconfigured and contained by an intricate and durable Segmental Retaining Wall (SRW) system. Belgard's Vertica Retaining Wall System innovated by Anchor Wall Systems, along with Mirafi geogrid reinforcement were chosen to carry out the plans for these enormous wall structures.
