Geosynthetics for
pavements
Due to their characteristics, Geomatrix high-tenacity polyester (PET) geosynthetics They enable the development of strategic solutions that improve performance, the construction process, and the cost-benefit ratio for pavement construction. In particular, their use is recommended for the following applications:
Usage
Recommended products
Compressible soft subgrade reinforcement
Reinforcement of soft, compressible subgrades.
Conficell LS
Fortex
Fortshield
Longitudinal Subdrainage
This is the capture and transport of groundwater to control the water table. This effect improves the bearing capacity of soils and prevents damage to structures such as pavements or foundations.
Fortex
Fibertex
Permadrain
Drainpipe
Reinforcement of asphalt layers
The reinforcement of asphalt layers involves increasing the tensile strength in the lower plane through the use of geogrids. This effect is leveraged to increase shear strength at the interface, thereby reducing crack propagation and increasing the durability of the new asphalt layer due to its longer fatigue life.
Fortgrid Asphalt
Granular base reinforcement
Granular base reinforcement takes advantage of the tensile modulus of the geogrid to increase the elastic resilience of the pavement structure. This benefit is used to increase the service life of the pavement or to allow a reduction of the granular base thickness.
