About the project

Side slope erosion has always been an issue for highway embankments. Especially during the monsoons, these slopes pose a challenge. The Larsen & Toubro-IDPI SPV, constructing its 163 km long Rourkela-Sambalpur tollway road project in Odisha, faced this issue.

The StrataWeb® innovative solution for side-slope protection is cost-effective, technically sound, long-lasting and eco-friendly. The technically advanced solution leaves a low carbon footprint and lush greenery along the highway embankment slope, besides protecting the slopes against erosion.

StrataWeb® prevents erosion along the slope by providing a stable layer of confined material over the surface. StrataWeb® SW 712-75, when infilled with soil, acts effectively as a barrier to virtually eliminate erosion along the slope surface. It provides a stable layer of confined material over the slope surface. The confined layer fosters vegetation growth to provide a green surface. Roots of the vegetation further prevent erosion.

The use of StrataWeb® provided a beautiful, green and environment-friendly highway and saved up to 50% of the cost compared to the convention solution of stone pitching.

Ground improvement for reinforced soil wall using StrataWeb® Geocells for Arjungunj, U.P.

The client was seeking a solution for the ground improvement for the construction of a Reinforced Soil Wall for ROB 208 Arjungunj, U.P., India. The approach was designed for a maximum height of 10 m.

Ground improvement of the industrial floor using StrataWeb® geocells

Due to the site’s location, the conventional method of soil replacement was not a feasible technique, as it would have been a tedious task to replace the soil up to 2–3 meters from the OGL.

Ground improvement using StrataWeb® geocells and StrataGrid® Biaxial (SGB) geogrids

This project involved ground improvement below the reinforced soil wall structure at National Highway 28, Gorakhpur, UP. This highway provides the main connectivity from India to Nepal, also connecting main cities in Uttar Pradesh. The site is in a high-flood zone and has a very high water table during monsoon months. Therefore, the conventional method of soil replacement was not feasible. Also, solutions like stone columns, sand piling were time-consuming and very expensive.
