GEOWEB Soil Stabilization System for Solar Farm Site Access Road

Featured Project: 
Brandywine Solar Farm Permeable Site Access Road

The Challenge:
The project owner, Vanguard Energy, required a site access solution to allow safe, long-term access for maintenance and emergency-vehicle access. While traffic would be infrequent, the roadway needed to support up to a 70,000-pound fire truck.

To achieve this, they decided to build a permeable site-access road utilizing a soil stabilization system that would adhere to permitting requirements and support the weight of heavy vehicles.

The Solution:
Vanguard Energy reached out to Presto Geosystems and local material supplier, Colonial Construction Materials, to devise a solution that would meet their needs. They chose the GEOWEB® Load Support System with a vegetated infill to construct the permeable access road into the solar farm.
