DLF set about redesigning its 18 holes golf course into a grand 27-holes facility in the heart of Gurgaon. It is slated to be India’s best, boasting world-class greens and facilities. The link will be host to several international and national tournaments.
The redesign of the golf links required the terrain undulating to heights as much as 30m to 40m. In some cases, the slope is 2H: 1V, and a few are as steep as 1H: 1V. Such heights and steep slopes caused heavy soil erosion along the slopes during the rains.
Strata offered slope protection using its StrataWeb® geocells over the slopes to arrest soil erosion. After analysis, it was decided to use two styles of StrataWeb®, SW660 100 for 2H: 1V slopes and SW 445 100 for 1H: 1V.
Much of the work had already progressed when StrataWeb® was introduced. Owing to deadlines faced by the client, 27,000 sqm. of StrataWeb® geocells were required to be installed within two months, which Strata accepted in its stride and completed the work successfully.
StrataWeb® proved to be a time-saver and quite effective.
