Application
The Major District Road, MDR 31, passes through Shaha and Kolpewadi villages in Sinnar Taluka, District Nashik. The road comes under the purview of the Nashik PWD and is a vital link connecting the sugarcane producing farms of Sinnar Taluka with sugar mills with heavy traffic during peak seasons.
The subgrade soil in these areas is expansive, which is colloquially called Black Cotton soil. During the dry months, the soil is very hard and shrinks, but it expands and turns very soft during the monsoons.
To cater to the expansive nature of the subgrade, StrataWeb® was considered above the subgrade. This proved to be an optimal solution, which also reduced the need for regular maintenance.
The existing road was scrapped off, and the subgrade was dressed and levelled as required and watered and compacted. A layer of sand was placed over the dressed subgrade. StrataWeb® SW 356-150 panels were placed in position above the sand with the help of metal spikes and infilled with granular sub-base (GSB) material. After the infilling and overtopping by 25mm with GSB, the surface was levelled and compacted with vibro-compactors. Traffic movement was allowed immediately thereafter.
The problems of expansive soil were overcome by using StrataWeb®. StrataWeb® resists uplifts due to expansive soils and bridges over shrinkage voids between the pavement section and the subgrade.

MORE SUCCESS STORIES
The Kuber Tila project, located in Ram Mandir, Ayodhya is a small hillock within the temple grounds. It underpins the Ram Van Gaman path – symbolising the journey of Lord Ram from Ayodhya to Lanka. The engineering team identified the need for slope retention.
This project encompasses a total length of 111 kilometers, posing the challenge of limited Right of Way (ROW) availability on either side of the proposed road’s centerline. To address this constraint, there was a need to stabilise steep slopes, manage deep cuttings, or contain filled soil within the ROW.
A total of 34 locations were identified as critical areas with deep filling requirements
Strata undertook a significant project involving the design and construction of Reinforced Soil (RS) wall approaches along the NH-363 highway, spanning a 42-kilometer stretch from Mancherial to Repallewada in Telangana.
The client’s primary requirement was to find a cost-effective and efficient alternative to the conventional approach of using Reinforced..
Security is a top priority in the shipping industry. So when plans for DHL’s new 2,90,000 square foot distribution facility in Allentown, Pennsylvania, called for 3,450 linear feet of retaining wall along the perimeter of the 72-acre site.
