Bangalore, Karnataka, India | Sri Venkateshwara Fibre Uyog Pvt Ltd.
Sri Venkateshwara Fibre Udyog Pvt. Ltd. is a Natural Fibre based products manufacturing company located near Bangalore, Karnataka. The factory ships the coir based products daily and number of trucks are parked for loading daily on the parking area.
There was a problem faced during the truck movement in the parking area. The tyres of heavy loaded truck used to settle/sink and this problem gets even worse during rainy season. This issue used to cause lot to hindrance to daily delivery activities of the factory. The soil strata encountered at parking area and surrounded area of this site is relatively weak.
A stable platform is of utmost importance to the smooth movement of trucks in the parking / loading area. This eases out the daily timelines. To achieve this objective and with due consideration to foundation characteristics especially during rainy seasons, it was therefore decided to stabilize the platform using geocell filled with GSB material. Before installing the geocell, it was proposed to install a non– woven geotextile as separation layer which shall prevent the intermixing of foundation soil and GSB material and at the same time allow the water to pass through. The geocell shall improve the bearing capacity of foundation soil and minimize the differential settlements. The perforation of Geocell also take care of the drainage function allowing free draining of rainwater.
The project was completed successfully and the client was very satisfied with product quality.
