Services
Asphalt Interlayers
Asphalt interlayers act as moisture barriers and stress-relief layers between existing pavements and new asphalt overlays. These geosynthetics mitigate reflective cracking, prevent water infiltration, and enhance pavement durability. Ideal for highway and local road applications, they maximize return on maintenance investments by extending pavement life.
J-Band Installation
J-Band is a Void Reducing Asphalt Membrane (VRAM) that strengthens longitudinal joints by filling voids from the bottom up. Applied prior to paving, it extends joint life threefold, reduces maintenance costs, and improves overall pavement performance. Proven in Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana, it offers rapid installation and long-term savings.
Forta-Fi Asphalt Fibers
Forta-Fi fibers enhance asphalt mixes with three-dimensional reinforcement, reducing thermal, reflective, and fatigue cracking. Compatible with batch and drum plants, they improve tensile strength and resilient modulus. Suitable for airports, highways, and industrial lots, they extend pavement life by up to 50% while lowering lifecycle costs.
Geogrid Solutions
Geogrids reinforce weak subgrades, reduce aggregate requirements, and minimize maintenance in roadways. Offering biaxial, uniaxial, and interlocking designs, they stabilize soft soils and optimize pavement layers. Tensar InterAx geogrids provide advanced performance for civil and transportation applications, ensuring structural integrity.
MSE Wall Systems
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls use geogrid reinforcement to create durable retaining structures. These systems accommodate differential settlement, resist lateral loads, and enable steep slopes or near-vertical walls. Cost-effective and fast to install, they outperform traditional concrete walls in flexibility and efficiency.
