The power of Pavement Optimisation

Product catalog summary
Overview: Tensar Pavement Optimisation has been instrumental in enhancing construction efficiency, reducing risks, and minimizing delays in UK housing projects for over 30 years. It supports the government's goal of building 300,000 new homes annually by the mid-2020s by optimizing the construction of flexible pavements, including roads, driveways, and parking areas.
Key Benefits:
  • Reduces construction costs by up to 20%.
  • Increases traffic capacity by up to six times.
  • Lowers whole-life costs through reduced maintenance and repairs.
  • Reduces CO2e emissions by up to 25%.
Technology: The system uses Tensar stabilising geogrids to mechanically stabilize pavement aggregate layers, enhancing bearing capacity, reducing settlement, and extending pavement life.
Design Flexibility: Engineers can select designs that balance thinner pavements with increased performance, optimizing cost-effectiveness.
Case Study - Orchard Place, King’s Lynn: Pavement Optimisation provided a robust solution for roads and driveways over weak ground, reducing the need for imported fill and saving time and money. It mitigated differential settlement risks, saving £64,000 on flexible pavement construction and reducing imported fill volume by 33%.

The power of Pavement Optimisation-1

The power of Pavement Optimisation Tensar Pavement Optimisation has helped improve construction efficiency, mitigate risk and reduce delays on UK housing projects for more than three decades. The Government has a target of building 300,000 new homes a year by the mid-2020s to meet the country’s housing crisis. Pavement Optimisation helps minimise costs and speeds up construction of any flexible pavement - from adopted roads, to driveways and car parking areas - helping housebuilders to deliver new developments as quickly as possible, while maintaining profitability. Compared with traditional approaches, Tensar’s Pavement Optimisation can: £ Increase traffic capacity by up to six times Lower whole-life costs, through reduced maintenance and repa

What is Pavement Optimisation? Giving housebuilders the choice to: Pavement Optimisation harnesses the power of Tensar stabilising geogrids to deliver high-performing and long-lasting road pavements, quickly and cost-effectively. Retain pavement life and optimise construction costs Tensar geogrids mechanically stabilise a pavement’s aggregate layers, increasing bearing capacity, mitigating total and differential settlement; reducing surface rutting and cracking; and extending pavement life. Pavement Optimisation enables engineers to choose a design that meets a project’s priorities in the most...
