Trusted Design Software Moves to the Cloud

SpectraPave is free, cloud-based software that allows engineers, contractors, and owners to design with geogrid in a variety of applications, including pavement construction, soft soil stabilization and haul road design. The software calculates total value of the Tensar solution compared to conventional construction alternatives. Value is based not only on performance vs. initial construction cost, but also lifecycle cost, time savings and sustainability. SpectraPave provides specification generation, along with educational resources to help users make informed decisions.

SpectraPave Online incorporates the benefits of Tensar geogrids into industry-accepted design methodologies, based on rigorous full-scale testing. SpectraPave has been validated by third-party experts, and the full range of Tensar products is compliant with the design methodologies used by the software.

SpectraPave enable users to:

• Design and evaluate pavement and gravel sections over a variety of subgrade conditions
• Easily compare design alternatives, including geotextiles, geogrids and conventional construction
• Determine initial and lifecycle cost savings, time savings and sustainability metrics by incorporating Tensar TriAx geogrids

No previous knowledge or experience in pavement design is required to benefit from using SpectraPave.

What changed with the recent update?

SpectraPave has migrated to the cloud to allow customers to have more convenient access to this valuable tool across multiple devices. Significant user testing from engineers, contractors and owners has resulted in a greatly improved, but still powerful, user experience. Additional functionality has been added to compare design alternatives and generate performance specifications, along with high quality visuals and educational content.
