Application
StrataGrid™ used for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) berm
About the project
A high-pressure gas line running through a landfill site near Lewiston, New York, presented a challenge to the landfill owner, Modern Landfill of Model City, NY. The original plan of moving the gas line to meet the capacity needs of the landfill was quite onerous, and hence there was a need for a fresh look.
The design suggested the use of StrataGrid™ geogrids, which have optimal engineering characteristics essential for reinforced soil technology. StrataGrid™ 350 and 500 were used for the primary reinforcement to strengthen the soil for the berm. Strata’s lighter weight StrataGrid™ 150 was installed for secondary reinforcement in fill lifts between the primary reinforcement.
Therefore, StrataGrid™ was selected as an innovative solution for constructing the Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) berm to maintain the permitted landfill area and capacity without the need to move the high-pressure gas line. It also proved to be cost-effective by providing more storage revenue within the same land space.

Strata Geosystems uses eco-friendly solution with geogrid at KuberTila, Ram Mandir
The Kuber Tila project, located in Ram Mandir, Ayodhya is a small hillock within the temple grounds. It underpins the Ram Van Gaman path – symbolising the journey of Lord Ram from Ayodhya to Lanka. The engineering team identified the need for slope retention.
Construction of StrataWeb® Geocell Wall 32m high RS wall in the state of Manipur
This project encompasses a total length of 111 kilometers, posing the challenge of limited Right of Way (ROW) availability on either side of the proposed road’s centerline. To address this constraint, there was a need to stabilise steep slopes, manage deep cuttings, or contain filled soil within the ROW.
A total of 34 locations were identified as critical areas with deep filling requirements
Building of RS Wall Along 42KM Highway
Strata undertook a significant project involving the design and construction of Reinforced Soil (RS) wall approaches along the NH-363 highway, spanning a 42-kilometer stretch from Mancherial to Repallewada in Telangana.
The client’s primary requirement was to find a cost-effective and efficient alternative to the conventional approach of using Reinforced..
