- Innovative TerraLink\u00ae<\/strong> technology was used by Geoquest<\/strong> India to build this engineering marvel with limited available space at base (2m to 5m), using high adherence GeoStrap\u00ae<\/strong> directly and mechanically connected with GeoTrel\u00ae<\/strong> facing with TerraNail\u00ae<\/strong> and further strengthened using pre-stressed FreyssiAnchor\u00ae<\/strong> (completely re-stressable cable ground anchors) in this project to stitch the new construction with the existing hill profile.<\/li>\n
- The mechanical connection system adopted for this project as per codal provisions was an essential requirement to ensure transfer of loads between facing, soil reinforcement and anchors\/nails in high seismic zones and for the overall stability and greater performance of the reinforced filled structure.<\/li>\n
- Highly compressible and durable (with heavy galvanisation of 500 gsm) fusion welded steel grid mesh (made of minimum 8mm diameter bars) was used to withstand higher deformations to meet any internal settlements.<\/li>\n
- Safety and quality were top priorities for the project. Geoquest India<\/strong> adopted the safest construction method for this unique project.<\/li>\n
- Reduction of backfill quantity (up to 10x<\/strong>) led to cost optimisation and minimised environmental impact.<\/li>\n
- The improvement of surface and sub-surface drainage systems ensured the structure\u2019s long-term performance.<\/li>\n
- The structure has performed well under seismic load when recently subjected to an Earthquake of 5.1 magnitude.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>
