Ground Improvement Works Under MSE Wall Dhoho Airport, KEDIRI

To overcome a high slope with a limited area on the eastern side of the Dhoho Kediri airport platform, a Mechanically Stabilized Earthwork Wall is applied. The highest part reaches 26 meters high. The MSEW retaining wall is a composite structure consisting of alternating layers of compacted backfill and geosynthetic grids as soil reinforcement elements. The stability of the wall system comes from the interaction between the back- fill and soil reinforcements, involving friction and tension. It must be designed for both static and seismic conditions.

The length of MSEW is around one kilometer, and the height varies from 6 to 26 meters. Currently, the work progress in the field has reached 85%.

The photos below show the construction of MSEW with vegetative facing.
