Abstract

Stabilisation of a steep slope of 5 m vertical height using coir erosion control blanket (ECB) over a conventional retaining wall of 9 m height is presented in this paper. Being a cricket stadium and the slope face is coming towards the main entrance rock pitching was not adopted and hence a soil bioengineering solution is adopted. The project was implemented in September 2010 and has undergone two rainy seasons till July 2011.
