Solution: – Pursuing the detailed geotechnical investigations and the site conditions, it was decided to
adopt the reinforced soil wall with panel facia and Polymeric Straps as reinforcement compared to
other alternatives such as RCC retaining walls etc. Following are some of the advantages of adopting
reinforced soil walls with panel facia and techstrap reinforcement:

• Simple and rapid construction procedures and do not require heavy machinery / equipment.
• Construction space requirements shall be minimal in front of the structure.
• Pore-water pressure will not be developed.
• Its flexibile in nature which can to absorb deformations.
• Deep foundation were not required as less pressures will be exerted on the foundation soil.
• Cost effective and aesthetically pleasing compared to other alternatives.
