StrataWeb® geocells – A slope erosion protection system for embankments

LOCATION

East of Amman, Jordan

CLIENT

The Jordan Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR)

PRODUCT USED

StrataWeb®

APPLICATION

Erosion control

About the project

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.

StrataWeb® geocell slope erosion protection system was recommended by geotechnical experts at Strata. This cellular confinement system is a low-cost, high-performance solution that addresses slope erosion challenges and is extremely fast to construct at the same time. StrataWeb® is used along the slope surface to prevent erosion by effective confinement of the aggregate infill within its three-dimensional structure. This helps in protecting the embankment from slope erosion.

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.
