Unpaved Road Reinforcement

Build stable access roads over soft soils with less aggregate and faster installation.

Construct unpaved roads, access routes, and temporary or permanent pavements over soft soils with the GEOWEB 3D roadway system. The GEOWEB® system helps reduce the need for deep, costly base materials by confining infill in a 3D cellular structure and distributing loads across a wider area.

In many applications, the GEOWEB system can reduce aggregate base requirements by 50% or more and may allow the use of lower-cost, locally available fill. This makes it a cost-effective solution for sites where quality aggregate is unavailable, expensive, or difficult to transport.

GEOWEB roads are fast to deploy and install, even in difficult-to-access locations. The system helps control lateral and vertical movement of infill, improve load distribution, and extend the service life of unpaved roads and pavements.

Unpaved GEOWEB system pavements can also be designed as permeable surfaces, offering an economical alternative to pervious concrete or porous asphalt for applications where stormwater management is a priority.

Key Benefits

• Stabilizes infill material and controls shearing, lateral and vertical movement.
• Increases the effective structural number, cutting fill requirements and costs in half.
• Allows for use of lower-quality, less costly on-site infill materials.
• With permeable infill, saves the cost of traditional stormwater collection/storage systems by performing as an on-site stormwater retention/detention “basin”.
• With engineered infill (topsoil/aggregate), can be designed for vegetated fire lanes and vehicle access ways.
