CASE HISTORY Ref: MM026 — Rev:00, August 2004

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING Product: TERRAMESH

ROAD EMBANKMENT REINSTATEMENT SEREMBAN, NEGERI SEMBILAN, MALAYSIA

Problem The slope failure along Felda Sendayan Road had caused inconvenience to the road users as this road connects to two major towns - Labu & Sendayan, thus Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) Negeri Sembilan classified this slope remedial project as emergency works and instructed a turnkey contractor to propose a retaining wall system that can be constructed in a very short period of time. Entrusting in years of experiences with Maccaferri in providing technically sound solutions, the consultant invited us to submit a proposal. We proposed Terramesh Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Wall because the structure is to be constructed near a waterway.

Solution After evaluating the total cost of construction and the work program to reinstate the slope using Terramesh against other systems. Terramesh was adopted; reasons being no excessive foundation treatment is required and the estimated construction time is the shortest among other systems. In proven actuality, the contractor completed the slope reinstatement works (710 m² of Terramesh MSE Wall) within two and half months with ease.
