Potential for Geosynthetics in India

Government of India in the Annual Budget 2010-2011 has ambitious plans for the investment in infrastructure development: Roads & Highways National Highways Development Projects at a glance (NHDP): NHDP envisages : 6-laning 6,500 km 4-laning 17,500 km Upgrading of 20,000 km of National Highways Initiating development work of 1000 km of expressways. The MORTH has plans to build 20 Kms. of new road for the whole year.
The projected investment is about Rs. 8,12,661 Cr. ( USD 179 billion) over a period of six(6) years. Assuming that even 30% of the road stretches use Geo- textiles, this itself will require 46 million sq meters i.e. 9500 tons in next 3-4 years.
Potential in India based on current budgets

Ports National Maritime development projects (NMDP): India has a 7500 Kms. of coastline Currently, 12 Major ports (6 each in West & East) & 45 Non major and private ports are operational. To provide additional capacity and to upgrade the present infrastructure to international standard, an investment of about Rs.50,000 Cr. (US$ 11 bn) is envisaged in the major ports during the next five(5) years. Port trust will undertake : - Development of 54 new Berths in next 5 yrs.
- Several dredging projects would be undertaken - Road & Rail connectivity projects of over Rs.7,000 Cr.(US$ 1.5 bn)
is under implementation
There is huge potential of use of Geotextiles in coastline as it is specifically used for a purpose of Scour protection.

Railways Indian Railways is one of the largest railway system in the world An Expansion of new 25,000 km length is proposed in next 10 yrs. Time A dedicated freight corridor project estimated to cost about Rs.57,000 Cr.(US$12 bn) is being implementation. Railways plan development of superfast trains ,350 kmph , for which use of Geotextiles will be a must
Geosynthetic can play a very vital role in improving the cost effective track structure design.

Airports India is currently the 9th biggest aviation mkt. in the world. About 10 major and 40 smaller airports exist The passenger traffic is expected to cross 145 million per annum by 2010.Cargo traffic will cross 3.3 million M.T. by 2010. Upgradation & Modernisation of Airports as per International standards will be the top priority An investment of Rs.40,000 Cr. (US$ 9 bn) would be made in Airport infrastructure during the period 2006-07 to 2013-14.

What is
Terram
TERRAM is a Geosynthetics company dedicated to supply of materials to the worldwide construction industry.
The focus is in the supply of - Geosynthetics for infrastructure construction - Specialist range of geotextiles for the rail industry - Drainage composites for structural and waste management drainage systems - Geocells for construction where there is need for stabilisation or Reinforcement
GEOSYNTHETICS
Definitions : (ASTM D4439)
Geosynthetics A planar product manufactured from a polymeric material used with soil, rock or other geotechnical related materials as an integral part of a man-made project, structure or system This term encompasses Geotextiles Geogrids Geonets GeoCells Geomembranes Geocomposites etc.

Geosynthetic functions
Separation
Prevents contamination of granular material Reduces loss of granular material into sub-base Makes spreading of fill easier Minimise need for excavation or treatment of existing ground Fill can be placed over soft ground
Filtration
Geotextile Allows Controlled passage of excess Pore water from the soft subgrade.
Confinement
Geotextile restrains lateral movement of the material at the bottom of the granular layer.
Nonwoven Geotextiles (GT)

PROBLEMS:
1.
River and Canal Banks are subject to wave actions, i.e. reversing
flow conditions .It is this dynamic erosive force that undermines bank stability and effects channel flow and/or navigability On Coastlines, the three key agents of erosion are : - Waves & Tides Eroding the shoreline - Waves and tidal scour take the eroded sediment away from the coast - Currents sweep the displaced material out to the sea.

Advantage of Geosynthetics

Geotextile filter, being permeable allows water to pass through releasing water pressure but prevents soil erosion. With specialised built- in factory controlled Hydraulic and filtration properties a single layer of geotextile can replace a succession of stone filter layers. working under water is much easier because the filter system can be assembled above the water and lowered into position with less time being used.
Geotextiles is easier to install either manually or mechanically.

Required characteristics of the filtering geosynthetic
The filtering geosynthetic was designed in order to achieve the following purposes:
- Good filtering capacity (Appropriate Hydraulic properties)
- Impact resistance
(must be Robust)
- Holding resistance - Resistance to the construction stress

Geosynthetics
- Why remains Untapped Potential ? Or - Reasons for Low Growth in India ?
Hurdles Observed
- Lack of proper awareness and Close interactions and participation between manufacturer/Supplier, Design consultant/specifiers & end user (Civil Contractors, Govt. authorities etcs.). - Non availability of dedicated Indian code i.e Dependency on foreign code - State level agencies lack awareness and many of Govt. agencies remain oblivious about the new products including Geo-synthetics due to improper information , lack of knowledge for advantages of use, low budget etc. - Preparedness of end users designers to go with traditional ways or custom made solutions. - Lack of proper testing and evaluation - Non-availability of trained and experienced Staff.
Some Thoughts / Visions / Paths

- Unified Indian code, Specification is the need of the hour. - The use of Geosynthetic should be mandatory as its now proven technology This means inclusion in all SORs , guidelines etc. - To conduct practical training, Seminars and Exhibitions. - Manufacturer should step forward with best quality with proper testing at economical cost This also means best cost needs high volumes as well. - Availability of proper testing at National level.
- To generate technically trained personnel. - Geosynthetic should be included as a subject or course at BE level.
