PolGrid geogrids with stiff nodes used to construct an access road to a wind farm

Biaxial geogrids with stiff nodes were used to build an access road to a wind farm in Central Poland. What are the advantages of using geogrids in road-construction for the environment, the surface quality and investor's pocket?

Economic benefits:

• reducing the extent of soil exchange or reducing the aggregate layer thickness by up to 40% without damaging the load-bearing capacity of the surface
• several times longer durability
• reducing subsidence and horizontal displacement
• reducing the reflective cracks on asphalt surface
• high grid strength guarantees resistance to assembly damage

Road quality and the environment:

• increased life-span and reliability
• no wheel-ruts
• ability do support heavier traffic
• reduced CO2 emmisions from material trucks
• reduced air pollution caused by quarrying
