The road between Panhala and Kolhapur in the Maharashtra region of South-West India is a heavily used piece of infrastructure. Tourists flock to the area due to its historical and cultural significance, making the road crucial for the local economy. So, when a landslide damaged a significant portion of the road near the 17th Century landmark of Panhala Fort, measures needed to be taken to ensure further impacts from geohazards were mitigated.

The TensarTech Sierrascape system was installed to create a 25m high retaining wall system to repair and support the reinstated road. Such as solution works on paper, but the performance needed to be actively measured to ensure the effectiveness of the mitigation efforts.

InSAR analysis on the structure, harnessing radar data was conducted to detect any ground displacements. Such displacements would indicate whether the slope was moving. The analysis confirmed that Tensar's solution was in fact working, and this lope was not experiencing any unwanted movement during the 18 months since construction.

Tensar had validation that their system was working well, and their technology could be applied to other projects. Stakeholders can continue to benefit from this more resilient infrastructure without concern for its stability. A more cost-effective solution than utilising in-situ surveillance. The monitoring can be updated at any time to check ongoing performance.
