MSRDC uses Italian, Swiss technology to curb rockfalls
The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has harnessed Italian and Swiss techniques to control rockfalls and landslides in the Bor ghat section of the Pune-Mumbai expressway, especially during the monsoon. MSRDC officials are employing techniques like high-tensile strength wire-nets and rock-bolting at rockfall-prone areas. The MSRDC has finished installing wire meshes at 85-90% of the critical areas in this section.
