Roads and working platforms
Stability of the soil on which infrastructure is to be built, is a first and foremost criterion. We provide solutions for reinforcing foundations and subbases over weak soils.
For roads, railways or airports built over variable depths of poor subgrade material it is possible to utilize geosynthetics to reinforce the subbase material in order to reduce the amount of granular material necessary to produce a stable surface or to significantly increase the maintenance interval and surface durability. Our biaxial geogrids or woven reinforcements provide the reinforcement necessary to reduce rutting depth on unsurfaced roads or minimize deformation of permanent surfaces.
Nonwovens or geocomposite materials can be used to ensure the segregation of the subgrade and subbase and to prevent the pumping of fine soil particles. Recommended solutions for constructions of roads and railways are always based on specific project needs.
Depending on the local soil parameters, long-term reinforcement can be obtained by single layers of geosynthetics, or in case of extremely weak soils by a wraparound system. Our design team will advise on the optimal solution with the Enka Solutions range of geosynthetics.
Rutting on unpaved roads is effectively minimized with geosynthetics reinforcing the subbase and separating the subbase and subgrade.
