About the project

The Surface Sealing and Post-Closure Maintenance project at Villena’s MSW Treatment Plant Landfill showcased Strata’s expertise in providing innovative solutions for environmental integration.

The scope of the project included designing and delivering rainwater drainage systems and gas collection using Strata’s comprehensive StrataDrain™ drainage composite range. Additionally, Strata played a key role in reinforcing and stabilising slopes through the application of StrataGrid™.

The client’s primary requirement was to effectively close the landfill while ensuring environmental considerations were met with. A notable challenge in the project was the need to design anchor trenches within a confined space. Strata responded with a unique installation methodology tailored to the project’s specific needs, addressing the challenges presented by, the limited space.

In contrast to conventional methods involving gravels and common geotextiles, Strata’s solution offered several advantages. These included a higher flow rate, improved design efficiency, lower overloads, and a higher security factor, all contributing to a moreeconomical overall solution. The project’s standout feature was Strata’s ability to adapt the geosynthetic solution to the extremely complicated topography of Villena’s landfill, showcasing the company’s versatility in addressing complex environmental engineering challenges.

StrataWeb® geocells – A slope erosion protection system for embankments

The Jordan Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) was planning to build a petroleum strategic reserves terminal in the east of Amman, Jordan. They wanted to increase the petroleum storage capacity in the area, which required an increase in the base width of the embankment. The slopes of the embankment required protection from slope erosion.

Slope protection of partial wall on flyover using StrataWeb® geocells

The ramps of the grade separators are constructed either as embankments with natural slopes or as reinforced soil walls. In the case of partial walls, where sloped embankments are supported on reinforced soil walls, the embankment slopes needed to be given adequate protection against soil erosion, which could otherwise damage the fascia of the underlying reinforced soil wall and also induce seepage into the system. The slopes of the embankments were of the order of 30° with the horizontal. The reinforced soil walls supporting the embankments were as high as 10 m. The heights of the embankments were of the order of 5 m.

Rehabilitation of road in the busy city town centre in Karnataka

Monsoons in North Karnataka are notorious for damage to roads. The site was plagued with problems like reflective cracks, potholes, undulating surfaces etc., resulting in slow traffic movement and heavy vehicular damage. This stretch had to be rehabilitated time and again over the past several years, and no solution was proving to be long-term. Since the area is a major commercial hub, it was impossible to close off this section for an extended period completely, so a quick but long-term solution was needed.
