Application
This project includes the ground improvement of subgrade for the internal roads at yarn mills at Thane, Maharashtra. Since the site had expansive soil, it was difficult to repair the roads in a conventional way. Black cotton soil is expansive and the roads get damaged due to water retention, so the client was looking for an ideal soil stabilization method that could strengthen the pavement on a permanent basis. Since the factory was in operation and shutting down the internal road would hamper the operations, an innovative solution was demanded by the client.
The challenges included poor subgrade condition of the road, fatigue and rutting of the roads due to heavy rain and the road needed to cater to heavy vehicles.
Strata suggested a geosynthetic solution for load-bearing structures with StrataWeb® geocells. For load-bearing systems, the cells are filled with non-plastic material and the confinement of such material provides rigidity to the system within which the geocells are placed, thereby improving the stress-strain characteristics of the system as a whole and enabling a leaner and cost-effective system and yet safe. Strata’s team of geotechnical experts also recommended removing a layer of thickness of the road crust and adding a layer of StrataWeb® geocell.
Introducing StrataWeb® in the subgrade not only improves the longevity of the pavement but also economizes the overall crust thickness. Faster execution of work was possible due to ease of installation of StrataWeb®.
