In the last quarter of 2018, cyclone Titli<\/a> took a toll on Odisha state, located on the east coast of India. It caused severe damages including landslides in various locations on National Highway 59.<\/p>\n Near Daringbadi – a tourist destination about 200 km away from the state capital Bhubaneshwar – the existing road was partly washed off. The unstable valley slopes supporting the road became a serious hazard to the commuting vehicles, especially during the monsoon.<\/p>\n The project owner, The Public Works Department<\/a>, National Highways – Berhampur Division, Odisha had decided to restore the landslide area by strengthening the valley and widening the road. Terre Arm\u00e9e in India<\/a> successfully proposed Terre Arm\u00e9e\u2019s TerraLink\u00ae<\/a> technology as an effective slope stabilization<\/a> method.<\/p>\n TerraLink\u00ae allows for the construction of a Reinforced Earth\u00ae retaining wall linking it directly to an existing structure or stabilized slope by nailing or anchoring.<\/p>\n
