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.

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.

The internal access road of the warehouse was damaged, and that was impacting daily operations at the facility. The client was looking for a solution that would open up access quickly. Challenges included differential settlement due to the movement of 60-ton silo trailers and the non-availability of large size stones rubble soling in the vicinity. Moreover, due to the onset of North-East monsoons, the client postponed the laying of the wearing course, and a solution for immediate access to the internal road was required.
