Ooty is one of the most beautiful hill stations in Tamil Nadu and is known as ‘Queen of Hill Stations’. It is situated 2,240m above sea level. The misty hills and valleys attract lot of tourists to this place through out the year. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) wanted to improve the road safety and traffic flow on existing Ooty\u2013Mettupalayam road. This highway passes through a variety of terrains and many locations were proposed for widening. Thus, retention of hill and cut slopes was required. Mass gravity structures (in cut area) and reinforced soil structures (in the fill portion) were used in these instances to provide slope stability against environmental effects. Due to heavy rainfall, many locations at this road had bad landslides. The result was a blocked traffic on the highway.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

National Highway Authority of India consulted Maccaferri for the problems faced by the Highway department for widening of existing road and retention works along the National Highway. Gabion retaining wall was suggested as a solution, which is flexible, free draining, permeable, economical, eco-friendly and easy to construct in high rainfall conditions. On hilly terrains, gabions are the ideal to retain cut and fill slopes, especially in widening on curves and workplace restricted slopes. The height of the wall which was suggested by Maccaferri ranged from 1.5m to 6m. Gabions also have advantages over more rigid structures because they can conform to ground movement, dissipate energy of flowing water and drain freely. Their strength and effectiveness increases with time in most cases, as silt and vegetation fill the interstitial voids and reinforce the structure. Advantages of gabion retaining wall are: \u2022 Cost-effectiveness. \u2022 Monolithicity. \u2022 Simplicity in construction and economy. \u2022 Environmental friendliness. \u2022 Permeability. \u2022 Flexibility & versatility. \u2022 Structural safety.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>
