Woven Geotextile Road Reinforcement Case Study
Background Tanjung Batu, in East Kalimantan, is a strategic area undergoing rapid infrastructure and logistics growth. This woven geotextile road reinforcement case study starts there: as an economic artery, the area’s roads must operate 24/7 and withstand the continuous axle load of heavy vehicles. However, like most of Kalimantan, Tanjung Batu has fairly challenging geology. […]
Geocell Slope Protection in Lebak Bulus
The Problem: Erosion Threats in the Heart of South Jakarta The project site in Lebak Bulus has sloping terrain that is quite vulnerable to surface soil movement, making it a clear case for geocell slope protection. The main problem facing slopes in tropical urban areas is scouring by rainwater (surface runoff). During heavy rain, water […]
Palm Oil Plantation Road Pavement with Geocell: Case Study
Background: Tackling Kalimantan’s Soil Challenges West Kalimantan is known for challenging subgrade conditions. In many plantation areas the soil tends to be soft, has a low CBR (California Bearing Ratio) value, and is highly sensitive to changes in moisture content, which makes a geocell palm oil plantation road an attractive solution. Before this project, the […]
Geobag Slope Protection for a West Jakarta Pond
The Problem: Erosion Hidden Beneath a Calm Water Surface West Jakarta has fairly distinctive soil conditions, with varying humidity and rainfall. When a water storage pond is built, the surrounding slopes or earth embankments face several main threats, which is why geobag slope protection was needed: Water Level Fluctuation (Drawdown)Pond water rising and falling sharply […]
Geobag Coastal Erosion Protection: Padang Case Study
Background & Challenges: Hydrodynamic Threats on the Padang Coast The Padang coastline faces the Indian Ocean directly and has very challenging hydrodynamic characteristics. All year round, the coast is hit by high-amplitude waves, along with fairly extreme tidal fluctuations, making it a prime candidate for geobag coastal erosion protection. The main challenge is not just […]
Shrimp Farm Success with 0.3mm Viroline Geomembrane
Project Background and Challenges The Tegal coast has outstanding potential for shrimp farming. However, this 14,000 m² shrimp farm project, which ended up using 0.3mm geomembrane, initially faced the classic problems of conventional earthen ponds. Traditional ponds that rely only on clay have unpredictable porosity. The main challenges facing the farm owner were: Seepage and […]
