CASE HISTORY
Ref: MM035 — Rev:00, April 2006
SLOPE REINSTATEMENT WORKS
TAMAN MELAWATI, KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
Product: GREEN TERRAMESH
Problem
A shallow slip failure was noticed behind a bungalow in
Taman Melawati, Kuala Lumpur by the owner. Known for the
complementary services in providing technical support for
Maccaferri products, the owner invited Maccaferri to submit a
proposal to reinstate the slope.
Solution
Maccaferri proposed a 2-berms 8.4m high 70° Green
Terramesh Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) slope, as the
owner prefers an environmental friendly facing as compared
to other rigid surface systems. The height was brought up to
8.4m so as to provide an additional 4m length to the
backyard; a value added investment for the home owner.
Furthermore, the Green Terramesh System fulfilled all
requirements predefined by the owner, technically,
aesthetically and economically.
The contractor completed the reinstatement works within
one (1) month and the owner was generally satisfied with the
progress and outcome of the Maccaferri Green Terramesh
MSE slope.
