Strata Geosystems began construction for its newest state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Gujarat, India. The plant building is approximately 150,000 sq. ft. and will house the next generation of machinery and automation. The flooring of the plant needed to be levelled and made ready-to-carry heavy loads for the erection of the prefabricated structure.

As the factory needed to be commissioned before the monsoon, the construction work had to be expedited. To expedite work, heavy loads on the grade slabs of the plant required a solution such that the flooring can be speedily laid and be strong enough to withstand heavy loads from the plant equipment.

Strata’s team of civil engineers recommended an appropriate solution: StrataWeb®, which is cost-effective, technically sound and sustainable as it eliminates the need to procure expensive natural materials and is extremely simple to transport and install. It proved to be a better alternative to the conventional stone soling, typically placed below a factory-grade slab. StrataWeb® needed locally and readily available soil. Keeping in mind the need for an effective and timely completion, StrataWeb® is the correct solution to bear heavy loads at construction sites.

This innovative solution resulted in an economical, fast and smooth construction of the slab support.
