OVERVIEW
StrataBlock™ reinforced soil wall is a composite system consisting of concrete block units in combination with a mass of soil which is reinforced and stabilised by StrataGrid™. StrataBlock™ wall units are self-aligning. They are cast with an inter-locking system in the form of an anchor shear key built into each unit which enables the alignment of blocks between two rows and connection to StrataGrid™. The shear key also ensures consistent batter. Another key feature offered by StrataBlock™ units is the staggered hollows formed by the alignment of blocks, when filled with gravel behave as vertical stone columns (via aggregates) which adds additional stability to the wall. Reinforced soil walls with StrataBlock™ fascia and StrataGrid™ reinforcement are relatively flexible structures. StrataBlock™ is dry-cast and because of its size and modularity, it provides a flexible fascia to the reinforced soil wall structure.

SUCCESS STORIES
The project is situated in Abha, capital city of Aseer Province near the Red Sea in southwest Saudi Arabia.
The National Highway Authority of India extends from Mumbai to Delhi. Along the route it also connects two major cities of Gujarat, Vadodara and Ahmedabad.
The client needed greater storage volume at its existing landfill site to cater to at least two additional years’ worth of waste. The landfill was in a congested zone and expanding horizontally would be an expensive and unfeasible option.
