MacRes System at Delhi-Meerut Expressway, Uttar Pradesh
A reinforced Soil System with concrete panel as fascia was used to launch Asia’s heaviest steel truss of 115 meters in length on the Delhi Meerut expressway at chainage 20+215.
Maccaferri’s MacRes® System was installed to construct a six-lane Delhi-Meerut Expressway from Km. 8.360 to Km. 27.740 (Package II) in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) adopted MacRes® System over a conventional vertical structure as it offers economy, flexibility, speed and aesthetics. Asia’s heaviest steel truss of 115 meters in length on the expressway at chainage 20+215 was launched from the MacRes structure.
The MacRes® System is a Reinforced soil (RS) wall system featuring T-shaped precast concrete facing panel, reinforced with ParaWeb® geostrips. It is mechanically connected to the concrete panels through a proprietary cavity connector. ParaWeb® is BIS, EPD, BBA, & NTPEP certified and are manufactured in the world’s largest manufacturing unit in Pune, Maharashtra. MacTex® geotextile were used for effective separation & filtration. MacDrain® drainage geocomposite was used for drainage management, replacing gravel media between concrete panel and soil fill.
