5. Construct a permanent retaining wall reinforced by woven geotextile
and wrapped on the wall face by means of mould plates after the
buildup of the pump house. When the three pipes are constructed, a
brick wall with a thickness of 240mm was erected to protect the
geotextile face of the wall.
4.6.2 Cost-Effectiveness
The project was successfully completed and the pump station run in 1995. It
played an important role in the prevention of immense waterlogging hazards in
1996. The cost of the reinforced earth scheme saved 920,000 yuan compared to
the budget of the added design plan (Wang Zhao, 1996).
