Geosynthetics for
pavements

Due to their characteristics, Geomatrix High Tenacity Polyester (PET) geosynthetics They allow the formulation of strategic solutions that improve the performance, construction process and cost-benefit ratio for the construction of pavements. In particular, its use is recommended for the following applications:

 Longitudinal Subdrainage

This is the collection and transport of groundwater to control the water table. This effect improves the bearing capacity of the land and prevents damage to structures such as pavements or foundations.

Reinforcement of asphalt layers

The reinforcement of asphalt layers consists of increasing the resistance to tension in its lower plane through the use of Geogrid. This effect is used to increase shear resistance at the interface, reducing the reflection of cracks and increasing the durability of the new asphalt layer due to its longer fatigue life.

Granular base reinforcement

In granular-based reinforcement, the tensile modulus of the geogrid is used to increase the elastic recovery capacity of the pavement structure. This benefit is used to increase the useful life of the pavement or to allow a reduction in the thickness of the granular base.
