To ensure the durability and sustainability of highways, [geosynthetics](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/category/geosynthetics/) are extensively used in various road construction projects. At Ocean Non Wovens, we take pride in being a trusted supplier of high-quality geosynthetics that contribute to strengthening national infrastructure. One of our recent projects involved supplying **10,000 SQM of Ocean [Geocomposite](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/products/geo-composites/) 710 GSM** for a highway project in **Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh**, under NHAI. ## Table of Contents ## The Role of Geosynthetics in NHAI Projects Modern highway construction demands advanced engineering solutions that enhance performance while reducing maintenance costs. Geosynthetics, including geocomposites, geotextiles, [geomembranes](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/products/ocean-geomembrane/), and geogrids, have become indispensable in road construction due to their ability to improve soil stability, drainage, and reinforcement. According to a report by the **Indian Roads Congress (IRC)**, incorporating geosynthetics in road construction can increase pavement life by **up to 50%** while reducing construction costs by **15-20%** (IRC:SP:59-2019). Their ability to mitigate common roadway issues such as subgrade failure, waterlogging, and differential settlement makes them an essential component in national highway projects. ## Project Overview: NHAI Highway Construction in Balaghat, MP ### Project Details: - **Client:** National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) - **Location:** Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh - **Product Supplied:** Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM - **Quantity Used:** 10,000 SQM - **Purpose:** Subsurface drainage and soil stabilization ### Why Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM? Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM is an advanced multi-functional geosynthetic that combines the benefits of geotextiles and geonets. It plays a crucial role in road construction by providing **enhanced drainage, filtration, and reinforcement**. ### Key Features of Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM: - **High Tensile Strength:** Provides superior load-bearing capacity, essential for highway subgrades. - **Excellent Drainage Properties:** Prevents water accumulation and minimizes the risk of pavement deterioration. - **Durability:** Resistant to environmental stressors, ensuring long-term performance. - **Chemical & Biological Resistance:** Performs well in varying soil conditions, preventing microbial and chemical degradation. ## Application of Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM in the Balaghat Project ### 1. Subsurface Drainage Improvement: One of the significant challenges in highway construction is **water management**. Poor drainage can lead to **pavement distress, rutting, and potholes**, significantly reducing road lifespan. By integrating Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM, **efficient water drainage** was ensured, preventing water from accumulating beneath the pavement layers. ### 2. Soil Stabilization and Reinforcement: The project area in Balaghat faced **weak subgrade conditions**, necessitating [soil reinforcement](https://oceangeosynthetics.com/solution/retaining-walls-soil-reinforcement/). Our geocomposite material provided **improved load distribution**, reducing differential settlement and extending pavement life. ### 3. Reduction in Maintenance Costs: A study by the **National Institute of Technology (NIT) Warangal** found that roads reinforced with geosynthetics require **30-40% less maintenance** over a 10-year period compared to conventional roads. This highlights the economic benefits of using Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM in NHAI projects. ## Unique Insights: Aspects Often Overlooked Most companies focus on the immediate advantages of geosynthetics, but long-term benefits often go unnoticed. Here are some critical insights: ### 1. Environmental Sustainability: Using geosynthetics like Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM reduces the need for **natural aggregates**, which are becoming scarce. This leads to **lower carbon emissions** and aligns with India’s sustainability goals. ### 2. Faster Construction Time: Geosynthetic solutions significantly **reduce project timelines** by eliminating the need for extensive excavation and replacement of poor soil. This is particularly beneficial for NHAI projects that require **quick completion to meet growing infrastructure demands**. ### 3. Enhanced Pavement Performance in Extreme Weather: India’s highways face extreme weather conditions, from heavy monsoons to scorching summers. Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM enhances pavement **resistance against moisture-induced damage** and temperature fluctuations, ensuring year-round performance. ## Conclusion: Partner with Ocean Non Wovens for Your Infrastructure Needs The successful deployment of **10,000 SQM of Ocean Geocomposite 710 GSM** in the **Balaghat, MP** highway project underscores the **effectiveness and reliability of our geosynthetics** in NHAI infrastructure development.
