  • CH-RWSR-IN-Gabion Walls at Ahmedabad Vadodara Expressway, Gujarat
    CASE HISTORY Rev: 00, Issue Date 3.11.09 GABION WALLS AT AHMEDABAD VADODARA EXPRESSWAY GUJARAT,INDIA ENVIRONMENTAL/ HYDRAULIC & EROSION CONTROL/ SLOPE PROTECTION/ Product: Gabions, Mattress, Geotextile Problem The Golden Quadrilateral Project was the largest Expressway Project launched by the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Va- jpayee. It was managed by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) under the Ministry Of Road, Transport and Highways (MORTH). The Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway (called as National Expressway 1-NE1) is India’s first Expressway. The total stretch was 93Km out of which 43 to 45 km involved filling work .The work was executed in two stages, Phase 1 and Phase 2. The Phase 1 was from Ahmedabad to Nadiad (Km 0 to Km 43.4) and the Phase2 was from Nadiad to Vadodara (Km 43.4 to Km 93.3). The total Project consisted of 9 numbers of Minor Bridges, 100 numbers of culverts, 20 numbers of Canal Crossings, Irrigation Pipelines and provision of other logistics for the Express-way. During the construc- tion of this Express-way, Maccaferri was approached for the protec- tion of slopes , abutments, wing walls, and median walls of culverts, spill cone protection works etc. Since the soil in the site is of expansive nature, the Structures built above it will experience high shrinkage and swelling characteristics. The existing soil was black cotton soil. Therefore, the structure above it had susceptiblity for settlement. Because of their high clay con- tent, black soils develop wide cracks during the dry season, but their iron-rich granular structure makes them resistant to wind and water erosion.

  • The Impact of Improved Highways on Indian Firms
    The Impact of Improved Highways on Indian Firms Saugato Datta World Bank Group February 13, 2008 Abstract India’s Golden Quadrilateral Program aimed at improving the quality and width of existing highways connecting the four largest cities in India. This af- fected the quality of highways available to …rms in cities that lie along the routes of the four upgraded highways, while leaving the quality of highways available to …rms in other cities una¤ected. This feature allows for a di¤erence-in-di¤erence estimation strategy, implemented using data from the 2002 and 2005 rounds of the World Bank Enterprise Surveys for India. Firms in cities a¤ected by the Golden Quadrilateral highway project reported decreased transportation obsta- cles to production, reduced average stock of input inventories (by about a week’s worth of production), and a higher probability of having switched the supplier who provided them with their primary input. Firms in cities where road quality did not improve displayed no signi…cant changes. Email: [email protected]. Address for Correspondence: 4K-244, 2121 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC 20036 1 Introduction and Motivation This paper studies the response of …rms in India to an ambitious program of highway improvements in order to measure the economic e¤ects of infrastructure investments, an issue that has received widespread attention both in the context of developing countries such as India and more generally. It is motivated by, and contributes to, two strands in the literature. The …rst is the literature on the role of the private sector in economic development, and particularly e¤ects of government policies in enabling, constraining or retarding how the private sector performs (for example, Djankov et al.
