Transmission Maintenance Roads

Build low-maintenance aggregate roads for transmission line and substation access.

Utility and power companies often need reliable access to transmission lines, substations, and remote infrastructure across soft soils, saturated ground, low-water crossings, and undeveloped terrain. Without proper stabilization, access roads can rut, wash out, and require frequent maintenance.

The GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System creates stable, low-maintenance unpaved roads by confining aggregate within a 3D cellular structure. This helps distribute vehicle loads, reduce rutting, and improve road performance over weak or variable subgrades.

In many applications, the GEOWEB system can reduce aggregate requirements by 50% or more compared to traditional road designs. By adding cohesion to cohesionless soils, the GEOWEB System can allow for the use of locally available or marginal fill while still supporting heavy maintenance vehicles and long-term utility access.

Key Benefits

• Reduces aggregate requirements by 50% or more in many applications
• Supports heavy maintenance vehicles and utility equipment
• Performs over soft, saturated, or low-strength soils
• May allow use of locally available or marginal fill
• Helps reduce rutting, washouts, and maintenance needs
• Installs quickly with minimal equipment
• Helps limit disruption in sensitive or remote environments
• Can minimize stormwater management hassles
