Maccaferri’s Reinforced Soil Wall for Kalikhola bridge
Terramesh® system and high strength geogrid ParaLink® as reinforcement
Maccaferri India involved in the survey, geotechnical investigation, design, supervision of work and supply of material for construction of reinforced soil wall (RS wall) for the approaches of the Kalikhola bridge.
Border Roads Organization (BRO) has a major contribution in developing the road infrastructure in the frontier areas of North and North-East India. The 60m long Kalikhola bridge was constructed under BRO Swastik in Sikkim.
Maccaferri was involved in the survey, geotechnical investigation, design, supervision of work and supply of material for construction of reinforced soil wall (RS wall) for the approaches of the Kalikhola bridge.
The approach wall of maximum height 30m was constructed with gabions as facia (Maccaferri Terramesh® system) and high strength geogrid (ParaLink®) as reinforcement. This made the solution economical and eco-friendly than a conventional RCC wall. The bridge will improve the connectivity and contribute towards the development of tourism in the remote parts of Sikkim.
