Location: – Westport, Klang
Client Name: – Infinity Logistics & Transport Sdn Bhd
Year of Construction: 2015
Problem: – Due to the increase in container handling and storage demand, additional load supporting platform areas had to be constructed. With the above-mentioned soft marine clay profile, the construction of the initial platform was very challenging and costly. 1m of base course material was laid in efforts to create a stable platform. However, when the heavy-reach stacker started operations on the platform, severe rutting occurred.
Solution: – The platform at Westport Pulau Indah was reconstructed with 4 in 1 CRPS subgrade stabilization geotextile placed between the soft subgrade and a reduced base course thickness of 500 mm over the soft subgrade. The 4 in 1 CRPS subgrade stabilization geotextile offered a combined function of reinforcement, base course confinement, separation and permeability which resulted in a stable load supporting platform for container handling, stacked storage and cost savings for the client
