Very limited space was available at the base of the valley for constructing such tall retaining structures using traditional method. Innovative idea was \u201cneed of the hour\u201d to suit the requirement of stabilising the existing unstable slope and to widen the road. This prompted\u00a0Terre Arm\u00e9e India<\/strong>\u00a0to use their innovative\u00a0TerraLink\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0technology (shored or composite Reinforced Earth\u00ae structure).\u00a0TerraLink\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0was designed after conducting a detailed global as well as compound stability check and finite element modelling of the collapsed slope to provide a robust and engineered structure, which can withstand differential settlement and impact from dynamic loads. The use of mechanical connection system between the soil reinforcement and soil nails ensures greater stability of the shored\u00a0Reinforced Earth\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0structure and superior performance under extreme loading conditions.\u00a0TerraLink\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0also optimized the cut and fill volume in this project. Internal and external drainage was also improved to channelize the run-off in the area.<\/p>\nThe S2 Structure, which stands supreme at\u00a0102.8 meters<\/strong>, makes Project Tindharia the\u00a0world\u2019s tallest<\/strong>\u00a0Reinforced Earth\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0structure and an acme of tall, steep slope soil reinforcement engineering. The innovative and sustainable\u00a0TerraLink\u00ae<\/strong>\u00a0solution used in this project has resulted in the widening of existing roadway, slope stabilisation, drainage improvement and rehabilitation of the massive landslide at Tindharia.<\/p>\nThis project\u2019s landmark success will surely instil greater confidence amongst the Engineering Fraternity in India as well as in various parts of the world and encourage them to take up more complex and challenging civil engineering projects like this in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>
