New construction of high performance roads & highways

Tensar’s Pavement Optimisation uses the proven capability of Tensar TriAx® geogrids to create a mechanically stabilised aggregate layer that contributes to, and improves, overall pavement performance.

Suitable for any flexible pavement application, from car parks to highways, Tensar mechanically stabilised layers can increase support to surfacing layers and reduce the rate of structural degradation, increasing pavement life.

Helping you to extend pavement life and/or reduce pavement cost with 3 options

 
Benefits of Tensar Pavement Optimisation

Roads 3 options
Reduced pavement costs
Pavement construction costs are typically reduced by 20%, by using fewer materials and accelerating construction programmes, while maintaining trafficking performance.

Increased pavement life
Traffic capacity can be increased by up to six times that of traditionally-built pavements.
 
Lower whole-life costs
Increased trafficking performance can reduce maintenance and repairs, delivering whole-life cost savings.

Reduced carbon footprint
Using fewer materials can reduce project carbon footprint.
 

Helping You Deliver Increased Value from your Roads Maintenance Budget

Tensar's solutions comprise a range of interlayer products which have been successfully installed in may countries and in a range of climates. We can offer you solutions to suit the conditions and requirements of your project.

Our Asphalt Reinforcement products have been designed to address both structural and functional pavement performance issues such as fatigue and reflective cracking. Tensar's reflective cracking solutions adress composite pavement point cracks, thermal cracks, block cracks, oxidation and aging cracks, fatigue crack initiation and lane widening roads. 

Benefits of Asphalt Reinforcement

Reduced reflective crackingAX5-GN Installation
Asphalt reinforcement can reduce reflective cracking in the asphalt surface caused by the movement, bending and shearing of cracks in underlying asphalt layers or cement-bound substrates. The SAMI effect can also reduce strain in the surface.

  • Control of differential settlement cracking
  • Combining asphalt reinforcement with Tensar TriAx geogrid in new unbound aggregate layers can mitigate longitudinal cracking caused by differential settlement between new and existing lanes on widened roads.

  • Reduced surface rutting
  • Asphalt reinforcement geogrids interlock with the asphalt to restrict lateral movement of particles, reducing permanent strains and surface rutting, particularly in low stiffness mixes subjected to slow and heavy wheel loading at high temperatures.

  • Longer operational life
    By delaying the onset and development of cracking, Tensar asphalt reinforcement products can increase overall pavement performance and as a result extend operational life.
