INTRODUCTION
Often poor subgrade soils do not possess the strength to support road construction activities and the subsequent intended traffic loads. Nilex’s subgrade separation and stabilization geosynthetic materials maximize load distribution and increase the effective bearing capacity of the subgrade to help provide a stable foundation layer from which a permanent or temporary road/working platform can be built.
Including Nilex’s geogrid and geotextile products in roadway design improves the subgrade support – and ultimately the lifespan of the structure – by reducing and spreading the stress on the weak subgrade.
SUBGRADE STABILIZATION PRODUCTS
Biaxial Geogrids improve the structural integrity of roads and railways and Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls and Slopes by confining and distributing load forces. Geogrids provide support for the construction of access roads, highways and applications on weak subgrades that previously...
EasyGrid (geocomposite geogrids) are composite materials produced by combining an extruded geogrid with a non-woven geotextile. The geogrid is manufactured from extruded polypropylene sheets that are punched and then stretched under controlled temperature in different directions in order to...
The EnviroGrid cellular confinement system (geocell) is produced from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and has three dimensional cells that contain, confine and reinforce a variety of fill materials including native fill, topsoil, granular or concrete. This material has excellent resistance to...
Nonwoven Geotextiles have a wide range of applications in civil environmental engineering and construction projects. Their uses include...
NEW - TriAx TX8 Geogrid Now AvailableTriAx Geogrid is a revolutionary product from Tensar. The triangular structure of TriAx Geogrid, coupled with the increased rib thickness and junction efficiency, greatly improves aggregate interlock and confinement – leading to optimal structural...
Nilex Woven and High Strength Woven Geotextiles are often used for separation and stabilization in the construction of roads. The woven geotextile’s separation action prevents the mixing of dissimilar soils allowing each soil layer in the road structure to function as intended. The high...
WELLINGTON COUNTY ROAD 29 RECONSTRUCTION
Wellington County Road 29 is approximately 900 metres long and falls between Side Road 10 and Highway 7 in Guelph-Eramosa, Ontario. The road is comprised of two lanes, 9 metres wide, with asphalt paved roads and gravel shoulders. A low lying wetland borders the section of the road to the…
