Problem:

Slope Surface Protection with ACECell®

Keelung is a densely populated city and

surrounded by the mountains, therefore a majority

of the residential districts were built on the slope.

Daching community with the population of 7,000

people was only accessed to external by an

8-meters-width road, the residences worried that it

could inconvenience and perilous if the disaster

occurrences. Wherefore, Keelung government

was proposed to construct another road pass

through a hill for convenient transportation.

Consider to the budget issue and the good geological condition, the contractor used benching open-cut

for the road section across the hill. The gradient of excavated slope is 20 to 40 degrees with 40 meters high.

The slope surface was placed a layer of ACECell® HDPE geocell and filled up the soil mixed with plan

growing medium for vegetation. The soil nails were installed next subsequent of the placement of ACECell®

to improve the stabilization the slope. A serious of ditch installed for surface water drainage as well.

Nowadays, the plants grow well to make the slope look alike a natural hill.
