The constant weight of parked trailers, stacked containers, and heavy traffic can degrade your intermodal or port facility yard’s surface and subbase materials. This instability leads to rutting, potholes, and pavement failure, resulting in costly maintenance, operational disruptions, and loss of usable space.
The GEOWEB® System addresses these issues by reducing vertical pressure and providing a high-stiffness foundation. This increases the load capacity of the subgrade, effectively handling heavy reach stackers and container loads. In the base layer under hard pavements, confinement of aggregate significantly reduces movement, lateral heave, and settlement for increased pavement life. For unpaved surfaces, the GEOWEB System enhances stability with less aggregate and maintenance, even allowing the use of sand or lower quality on-site aggregate as infill.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the benefits of using the GEOWEB Soil Stabilization System on surfaces and pavements.
- Learn how the GEOWEB system reduces vertical pressure and subbase movement.
- Understand how the GEOWEB system can reduce pavement depths.
- Learn how the GEOWEB confinement system extends pavement life and reduces maintenance.
