Case Study: Warehouse Construction in Baran, Rajasthan – Use of Ocean Non-Woven Geotextile 1.5MM

Warehouse construction is crucial for industries that require large-scale storage, logistical operations, and efficient inventory management. In this case study, we’ll explore how Ocean Non Wovens played a pivotal role in a major warehouse construction project in Baran, Rajasthan, by supplying and installing 10,000 square meters of Ocean Non-Woven Geotextile 1.5MM. Our geosynthetic solution not only enhanced the construction process but also contributed to the warehouse’s long-term durability, providing a sustainable infrastructure foundation.

Introduction to Warehouse Construction: The Importance of Geosynthetics

Warehouse construction goes beyond just putting up walls and roofs. The foundation and substructure are equally important as they bear the weight of heavy goods and machinery. This is where geosynthetics play a crucial role. Geotextiles, particularly non-woven variants, are widely used in modern construction due to their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. They are engineered to provide separation, reinforcement, filtration, and drainage functions, essential for improving the strength and stability of warehouse floors and foundation structures.

The Role of Geotextiles in Construction

Geotextiles offer several benefits to construction projects, especially in areas with challenging soil conditions. They prevent soil erosion, enhance load distribution, and allow water permeability, which prevents waterlogging beneath heavy structures like warehouses. The use of geotextiles ensures that the warehouse foundation remains stable over time, even under heavy traffic or storage loads.

Moreover, geotextiles help in the following areas:

• Separation: Geotextiles act as a barrier between different layers of soil and other construction materials, preventing mixing that can lead to structural instability.
• Filtration: They allow water to pass through while preventing the passage of fine soil particles, maintaining the integrity of the foundation over time.
• Drainage: By providing a channel for water movement, geotextiles prevent water accumulation that can damage the foundation and cause settling.
• Reinforcement: They enhance the load-bearing capacity of the soil, ensuring that the warehouse can handle heavy equipment and goods without structural degradation.

Project Overview: Warehouse Construction in Baran, Rajasthan

Baran, located in the southeastern part of Rajasthan, is an industrial hub known for its strategic location. The construction of a large warehouse in Baran required advanced solutions for soil stabilization due to the area’s varying soil conditions, which could impact the longevity of the structure.

Ocean Non Wovens was selected to provide 10,000 square meters of Ocean Non-Woven Geotextile 1.5MM to strengthen the warehouse’s foundation. Our geotextile product was chosen due to its superior properties in providing separation, filtration, and reinforcement—critical for constructing a high-performance warehouse that would endure the weight of stored goods and machinery.

Ocean Non-Woven Geotextile 1.5MM: Product Features

Ocean Non-Woven Geotextile 1.5MM is specifically designed to provide exceptional performance in industrial and commercial construction projects. Some of the key features of our geotextile include:

• High Tensile Strength: It resists tearing and damage even under heavy loads, ensuring a long-lasting foundation.
• Permeability: It allows water to pass through, preventing water accumulation and enhancing drainage, reducing the risk of foundational issues.
• Durability: Our geotextile is resistant to biological degradation and chemicals present in the soil, making it ideal for long-term projects.
• Easy Installation: Ocean Non-Woven Geotextile is lightweight, making it easy to transport and install, reducing labor costs and project timelines.

Installation Process: Maximizing Efficiency

The installation of 10,000 square meters of Ocean Non-Woven Geotextile 1.5MM was completed efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to the overall construction schedule. The geotextile was laid directly over the prepared subgrade, providing an immediate separation between the soil layers and the foundation materials.

By ensuring proper placement, the geotextile contributed to:

• Improved Load Distribution: The warehouse floor would be able to bear the weight of machinery and stored goods without the risk of differential settlement.
• Reduced Soil Erosion: The geotextile minimized the movement of soil particles, reducing erosion and ensuring the structural integrity of the foundation over time.
• Enhanced Drainage: Water was allowed to pass through the geotextile without causing damage to the foundation, ensuring longevity and reducing the risk of future repairs.

Hidden Insights: Long-Term Benefits of Geotextile Usage

While many companies focus on the immediate benefits of geotextiles, such as cost savings and ease of installation, few discuss the long-term advantages of their usage in warehouse construction.

Sustainable Solutions

Geotextiles contribute to the overall sustainability of a project. By reducing the need for frequent maintenance and repairs, they lower the environmental impact of a warehouse over its operational lifetime. Fewer resources are consumed for repairs, and the warehouse’s extended lifespan reduces the need for new construction.

Cost Efficiency Over Time

While the initial investment in high-quality geotextiles may seem significant, the long-term savings are substantial. Geotextiles help reduce foundational issues that could otherwise lead to expensive repairs or even rebuilding parts of the warehouse. Over time, this results in lower operational costs and a higher return on investment (ROI).

Enhancing Operational Efficiency

A strong and stable foundation directly impacts warehouse operations. Smooth, even floors enable the efficient movement of goods, machinery, and workers. A stable warehouse floor also ensures the safety of stored goods, preventing damage from uneven settling or foundational cracks.
