APPLICATION

Construction of Reinforced Soil wall

About the project

The section of National Highway (NH-8), between Dahisar (a suburb of Mumbai) and Surat was plagued with high-traffic density consisting of heavy vehicles. In order to ease the traffic, the National Highways Authority of India decided to construct 16 new structures to widen the road to six lanes.

A Reinforced Soil wall system was the most preferred solution for this project based on the prevailing soil conditions. StrataGrid™ and StrataBlock® units were used for the construction of the reinforced soil wall due to their proven performance and easy installation procedure. Faced with tough soil properties and groundwater problems, the innovative design team at Strata revamped the designs of the structures to address these problems.

Strata completed the structures on time after tackling difficult challenges and provided the client with superior quality service, which was well appreciated by the client.

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.
