Explore how Maccaferri\u2019s gabion and geotextile solution enhanced the sustainability and aesthetics of Ahmedabad\u2019s Oxygen Park project.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The P.T. Highway at Chumzom, Bhutan, passes through challenging Himalayan terrain, where steep hill slopes, unstable ground conditions and complex mountainous geometry create significant risks for road safety and infrastructure performance. In such environments, retaining structures must not only ensure long-term stability but also adapt to site constraints, slope stabilization requirements, and the need for faster execution. Conventional rigid retaining structures often face limitations in these conditions due to constructability challenges, higher material dependency, and reduced adaptability to natural terrain behaviours.<\/p>\n\n

To address these challenges, Maccaferri\u2019s ParaMesh reinforced soil system was adopted as a sustainable and resilient solution for hillside road retention. The system incorporated Terramesh units with gabion fascia and ParaLink monoaxial geogrids, providing structural stability, flexibility, and improved performance in demanding mountain conditions. BioMac biodegradable geomat was also used for slope protection, supporting surface stabilization and environmental integration. Selected over conventional RCC retaining structures, the solution enabled faster construction, enhanced sustainability and improved adaptability, contributing to safer and more resilient mountain highway connectivity in Bhutan.
