CASE STUDY

Miragrid® GX Geogrid – Segmental Block Retaining Wall application


at Davao City Coastal Road
Region XI, Philippines

Project Data
Project : Davao City Coastal Road Bago-Aplaya Section - Segmental Block Retaining Wall
Year of construction : 2017 – on going
Client : Department of Public Works and Highways – Region XI.
Material : TenCate Miragrid® GX Geogrid

Introduction:
The Davao City coastal road bypass project will traverse from Roxas Avenue to Bago
Aplaya, cutting through NHA Kadayawan Homes, Matina Aplaya, and Bolton Isla. Three
roundabouts (or rotundas) will be installed in the 35-kilometer coastal stretch at Roxas
Avenue, Times Beach area, and Matina Aplaya.

Increasing population and continuous development of the Davao Region leads to the
worsening traffic congestion within its major roads. The coastal road project will definitely
abate and address the traffic congestion within the city.

Problem:
The Bago-Aplaya Section facing Davao Gulf going to Talomo is an elevated highway with a

90 degree vertical slope on both sides. The contractor then needs to stabilized and reinforced with TenCate Miragrid® GX Geogrid
reinforced the embankment effectively.

Solution:
Segmental block wall reinforced with TenCate Miragrid® GX Geogrid was chosen for the
final design of the project for its fast, durable, aesthetics and cost effective construction.
Reinforced segmental block wall system consists of precast concrete blocks stocked to
form the wall facing, with the soil/sand backfill behind reinforced with Miragrid® GX Geogrid.
The blocks are moulded with an interlocking mechanism that allows them to firmly
interconnected. The geogrid reinforcement laid horizontally in the soil backfill, is connected
to the concrete blocks via the interlocking mechanism at specific design heights of the wall.
The construction of the reinforced segment block wall system provides a relatively flexible
structure that can tolerate differential settlement without causing distress to the structure.
