Port Louis Ring Road Design approach of post-failure stabilisation

The Ring Road Phase I project was constructed during 2010-2013.  In early 2014, cracks appeared on the north bound carriageway, followed by the collapse of a 15m high MSEW portion of the fill. This article by Marie Basson, Geotechnical Engineer and Engineering Geologist at ARQ, summarises the geotechnical investigation conducted to identify the failure mechanisms, the design of remedial measures, and the knowledge and understanding gained for use in future projects.

Marie also published and presented about this subject in the Mauritius Engineering Journal.
