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.

It also required a lot of statutory compliance for dumping the excavated soil. Would affect the daily operations of the existing manufacturing unit in case of any delay in execution due to construction. Hence, the speed of construction was of the essence for this project.

Strata’s team of geotechnical experts offered a geosynthetic solution for load-bearing structures with StrataWeb® geocells. With the use of StrataWeb® geocells, the thickness of the murrum was reduced to 1 m, which was a much feasible solution in terms of both time and money. Moreover, the addition of StrataGrid™ layers within the murrum layer ensured that the compaction of murrum was correctly done.

Therefore StrataWeb® and StrataGrid™ were selected as an innovative solution for strengthening the industrial flooring.

Time was of great essence because of the daily operations in the manufacturing unit.
