PAVEMENT OPTIMISATION SYSTEM SPECTRA® PAVEMENT OPTIMISATION SYSTEM IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT STRUCTURES

Pavement Optimisation with the Tensar® Spectra® System The Spectra System uses the proven capability of Tensar TriAx® geogrids to create a mechanically stabilised aggregate layer that contributes to, and improves, overall pavement performance. Suitable for any flexible pavement application, from car parks to highways, Tensar mechanically stabilised layers can increase support to surfacing layers and reduce the rate of structural degradation, increasing pavement life. They can also cut aggregate and asphalt costs, by reducing overall pavement thickness for faster, economical and environmentally-friendly...

Tensar® Spectra® System: Mechanical stabilisation of aggregate layers for enhanced performance An aggregate layer stabilised with Tensar TriAx geogrids performs as a composite, due to the interlocking mechanism and particle confinement that develops between the aggregate and the Tensar stabilisation geogrid. This Tensar mechanically stabilised layer provides more effective support to the entire pavement structure than aggregate alone. Delaying early failure of flexible pavements Tensar® Spectra® System: For all ground conditions The Tensar Spectra System can delay the onset of failure of flexible...

The Tensar® Spectra® Pavement Optimisation System: Reduced costs. Faster delivery. Lower emissions. The Tensar Spectra System has brought benefits to a wide range of projects around the world, reducing construction and whole-life costs, accelerating project delivery and cutting carbon emissions. Tensar International services: Supporting your project, from concept to completion Highway reconstruction Using TriAx geogrid means less ‘dig and replace’ depth of underlying material is required, so conflict with underlying services can be avoided and kerbs and footways can be left undisturbed. Tensar’s...
