About the project
The Public Works Department, Brunei, had to provide a solution to manage the erosion and prevent further scouring of the slope at a building complex in Kiarong, a commercial area in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei.
Challenges included limited space between the existing fence and the building at the toe of the slope. Also, steep slope angle and curvature of the slope along the length.
StrataWeb® geocell slope erosion protection system along with StrataCord™ and StrataFast™ for efficient load transfer was recommended by the geotechnical experts at Strataand ATH Chevron. The style recommended for this project was SW 660-100, which was infilled with soil conducive to vegetation.
Due to its flexible structure, StrataWeb® geocells conform to the slope’s contour and are installed with ease in the curvatures along the length of the embankment. The perforations help in providing effective interlock of roots for the vegetation to nurture and sustain, thereby providing a visually pleasing green surface that also helps protect the surface from erosion.
The use of StrataWeb® was an innovative solution for construction to protect the topsoil and prevent erosion.

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
