Pavements

Application Overview

A stable subgrade is essential for the long-term performance of any pavement structure. Weak or variable soils can lead to rutting, cracking, and premature failure, increasing maintenance costs and reducing service life. By integrating Tensar’s mechanically stabilized layers (MSL), the subgrade is improved to provide uniform support, higher bearing capacity, and improved load distribution—ensuring a durable, cost-effective pavement foundation

Ground Challenges in Road Construction

Low Bearing Capacity (Low CBR)
Insufficient subgrade strength leading to pavement deformation or failure under traffic loads.
High Groundwater Table
Causes instability, drainage issues, and reduces the effectiveness of compaction and base materials.
Weak or Compressible Soils
Lead to excessive settlement, loss of support, and long-term performance issues.
Variability in Soil Conditions
Inconsistent soil layers and strength values make design and construction unpredictable.
Presence of Salts or Aggressive Soils
Can cause material degradation, creating voids and leads to settlements under the pavement layers.

POME’s Solution

Geogrid Aggregate Interlock
Geogrids lock into surrounding aggregate particles, creating a tight, reinforced composite layer that boosts structural stiffness.
Enhanced Load Distribution
The stiff composite layer spreads loads more evenly across the pavement system, preventing pressure spikes and improving durability.
Reduced Subgrade Stress
By distributing loads wider and deeper, geogrids ease the stress placed on weak subgrades, helping prevent deformation and rutting.
Increased Bearing Capacity
With the subgrade protected, the entire pavement structure performs stronger, supporting higher loads without premature failure.

Benefits

Reduces removal and hauling of weak soils

Eliminates the need for dewatering

Reduces the import of engineered fill

Engineered for Efficiency

POME’s advanced geogrid technology transforms weak or variable soils into strong, stable foundations.
