SHILLONG: An awareness workshop titled, “Next Frontiers in Civil Engineering: Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure for North East Region” was held to highlight on utility of geo-technical textile in North Eastern Region.

It was organised by Ahmedabad Textile Industry’s Research Association (ATIRA) on behalf of the office of the Textile Commissioner, Ministry of Textile in collaboration with PWD on Monday.

Addressing the gathering, Secretary of PWD (R & B), P.R. Marwein said, “Hill states suffer from chronic problems such as landslides, blockade of roads and so many issues that are a big problem for us and we do not seem to have solution to those by using the normal technology.”

He was hopeful for the geo-technical textile to further provide methods to improve the current situation.

Further, he informed reporters that geo-technical textile was being installed  in the state of Meghalaya along the Shillong-Nongstoin Road.

“The work has started and the implementation is under process. As for Garo Hills, we have inspected some roads,” Marwein said.

Geotechnical textile are textile products manufactured from natural and man-made fibres, woven and non-woven, used in geological applications involving rock, soil and other natural elements in civil engineering projects.

The technology is used globally to address dangers to infrastructure caused by degradation and natural calamity.
