CASE STUDY: LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BUILDING, NBD.
Installation Year:
2005
Material Supplied:
Tensar® Uniaxial Geogrids
Project Description:
In 2005, a significant slope stabilization project was carried out in a region prone to severe erosion and ground instability—factors that posed ongoing environmental and safety risks. To address these challenges, a reinforced solution was implemented using precast concrete panels in combination with Tensar® Uniaxial Geogrids.
This innovative system was designed to provide long-term slope reinforcement by integrating the structural rigidity of concrete facings with the soil-reinforcing capabilities of geogrids. The geogrids were embedded within the slope fill and securely connected to the concrete panels, forming a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) structure capable of withstanding natural pressures and preventing further erosion.
The outcome was transformative. Previously unstable slopes were converted into robust, secure formations with significantly reduced erosion risk. The success of this project not only improved slope safety and resilience but also demonstrated the effectiveness of combining modern geotechnical solutions with collaborative engineering practices.
This case stands as an example of how advanced materials and well-executed design can create sustainable infrastructure that protects the environment and ensures long-term stability for future generations.
