Design for slope stabilization and earth retaining for construct of a permanent civil structure
Initiative adopt Yin and Yang philosophy between plastic wastes and pollution demonstrate seemingly opposite of contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected and interdependent in natural give rise to each other as they interrelate. Using plastic wastes (yin) as recyclable material for reproduction into an engineering system (yang), reduces cost, duration and pollution, while maintain ecosystem. Construct method is design to prevent placement of nature resources, reduces usage of water, energy, and machinery targeted to reduce pollution, greenhouse gases emission and carbon footprint.
Completed structure is also root friendly, capable to sustain uniform vegetation onto it surface as ground-cover finishes, where creates larger greenery and forestation that effectively reflects sunlight and heat back to the atmosphere, reduces surrounding temperature, indirectly reduce water and energy consumption for livings (i.e. washing, fan, air condition) and improve quality.
