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.

StrataWeb® load support system is used as a foundation reinforcement for enhancing the load-carrying characteristics of weak soils. It helps in confining the soil due to its three-dimensional structure. It aids in distributing the load to a wider area, thereby reducing stresses on the overall crust thickness. It also helps in strengthening the pavement life by reinforcing the soil within.

Strata’s value addition to the project included:

• Immediate access to the road after installing StrataWeb®
• Faster execution of work due to ease of installation of StrataWeb® and the use of on-site infill material
• Saved 15% cost as compared to the conventional solution
• Minimal ongoing maintenance
