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.
The parking area had weak soil strata, causing heavy truck tyres to sink and settle, especially during the rainy season. This disrupted daily loading and delivery operations, making stabilization essential.
Weak foundation soil with low bearing capacity.
Waterlogging during rains, worsening truck movement.
Frequent hindrance to daily logistics and delivery timelines.
Need for a durable, cost-effective solution without major reconstruction.
TechFab India proposed an integrated geosynthetic solution:
TechCell Geocell filled with GSB material to improve soil confinement and bearing capacity.
TechGeo PP Nonwoven Geotextile placed beneath the geocell as a separation layer, preventing soil–aggregate mixing while allowing water drainage.
Geocell perforations ensured free drainage of rainwater, reducing waterlogging issues.
Provides a stable platform for heavy truck movement.
Enhances load distribution, minimizing differential settlements.
Prevents rutting and soil displacement.
Improves drainage, reducing waterlogging during monsoon.
Long-lasting and eco-friendly solution compared to conventional methods.
Cost-effective and easy to install.
Durable under heavy static and dynamic truck loads.
Eco-friendly, using confined soil and aggregates.
Reduces maintenance and operational delays.
Ensures smooth logistics and uninterrupted factory operations.
The project was successfully completed, delivering:
A stable and durable truck parking platform.
Smooth truck movement even during rainy seasons.
Improved operational efficiency for daily shipments.
Client satisfaction with product quality and performance.
