<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nHIGHLIGHTS<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n- A challenging landslide protection and road widening project was successfully completed on NH-110 (previously NH-55) near Darjeeling in West Bengal, India.<\/li>\n
- Innovative\u00a0TerraLink\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0technology was used by\u00a0Terre Arm\u00e9e<\/strong>\u00a0India to build this engineering marvel with limited available space at base (2m to 5m), using high adherence\u00a0GeoStrap\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0directly and mechanically connected with\u00a0GeoTrel\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0facing with\u00a0TerraNail\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0and further strengthened using pre-stressed\u00a0FreyssiAnchor\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0(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,\u00a0 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.\u00a0Terre Arm\u00e9e India<\/strong>\u00a0adopted 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>\n<\/div>
