Road and railway construction

At road, railway and dam construction draining of the surface water below the structure, layer separation and filtration has to be handled by installing woven and non woven geotextiles. In case the subgrade’s load capacity does not reach a predefined value, the subgrade can be stabilized using geogrids and woven geotextiles and furthermore the structural thickness can also be reduced

Recommended geosynthetics as solution to problem concerning the application field:

Load capacity of the subgrade almost sufficient, layer separation and surface water drainage is recommended; to reduce cost during construction and increase the lifetime of the road

Recommended geosynthetic	Function of the geosynthetic
Tipptex B/N non woven geotextile Tipptex BS non woven geotextile		Separation of structural layers Prevents intermixing of layers Filtration

Load capacity of the subgrade is not sufficient , subgrade stabilization is necessary; the layer thickness of the structure can be significantly reduced, while the lifetime of the road structure is increased

Recommended geosynthetic	Function of the geosynthetic
Bontec LW woven geotextile Bontec HW woven geotextile Enkagrid TRC geogrid composite		Separation of structural layers Prevents intermixing of layers Filtration Subgrade reinforcement Reduced structural layer thickness
Enkagrid MAX biaxial geogrid Enkagrid PRO uniaxial geogrid		Subgrade reinforcement Reduced structural layer thickness

Pavement rut formation on the wearing layer, prevent formations of cracks, increase lifetime of the wearing layer

Recommended geosynthetic	Function of the geosynthetic
PAVEMAT tension relieving layer		Separation of structural layers Delays formation of pavement ruts Prevents water reaching the cracks of the lower layers Tension distribution layer, prevents spreading of the cracks
