Terramesh System decided to build in the area affected by the landslide. The foundation uses Terramesh System with 2m depth, and the structure on the surface of the ground has 11m high. Static and seismic analyses have been performed, checking global stability, internal stability, and stability as retaining wall (sliding, overturning, and bearing capacity). The selection of a proper solution as a retaining wall was decided to Terramesh System Material, apart from its ability to withstand the backfill soil, the solution provides more added values, such as flexibility, permeability, durability, environmentally friendly, Easy installation method, and economic cost ensure the solution as the most suitable solution.
