Maruti Rubber Group of Industries has successfully manufactured and supplied an integrated engineering system featuring heavy-duty Technical Textile Grids (MGU 100KN and 150KN), high-flow Maruti Drain Drainage Composites, and vibration-dampening EPDM Pads for the Under Construction Railway Over Bridge (ROB) - 84 AC Phase 2 project in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Procured through Jai Durge Suppliers, this high-load rail infrastructure asset requires elite reinforcement and drainage materials to withstand severe dynamic mechanical stress from passing freight trains and vehicular overpass traffic.
Challenge
Railway overbridges require steep, elevated approach ramps that carry continuous heavy vehicular traffic. The underlying soil embankments face colossal lateral stresses and are prone to internal slope failure, soil shifting, and deep-seated structural movement over time. Rainwater and groundwater accumulation behind concrete bridge abutments can cause a rapid rise in hydrostatic pressure. If this water is trapped, it exerts intense outward force against the retaining walls, accelerating concrete cracking, soil softening, and premature bridge ramp failure.
Bridge spans experience continuous high-frequency vibrations from moving railway traffic below and heavy vehicles above, combined with thermal expansion during harsh Uttar Pradesh summers. Unmitigated friction and shock can shatter concrete edges at mechanical joints.
Solution
Maruti supplied heavy-duty MGU 100KN and MGU 150KN Technical Textile Grids. These high-tensile geogrids interlock mechanically with the embankment aggregate, creating a reinforced soil mass. By distributing high vertical loads horizontally across the grid plane, they dramatically increase the shear strength of the slope and prevent structural deformation under heavy transit conditions. We deployed Maruti Drain Drainage Composites along the structural concrete faces. Combining a high-discharge dimpled core with a non-woven geotextile filter, these composites rapidly capture and channel sub-surface water away into discharge channels. This constantly relieves hydrostatic pressure and maintains a dry, secure backfill zone.
Maruti provided specialized EPDM Pads to act as a resilient cushioning interface between critical structural blocks. Formulated from premium ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, these pads offer excellent compression-set resistance, absorb high-frequency vibrations, and accommodate thermal movement without tearing or weathering, effectively safeguarding the bridge junctions from mechanical fatigue.
