When inclement weather impacts your job site, you may need to consider an alternative method for soil stabilization. Common methods like chemical stabilization require perfect conditions while others are costly to install - and come with a much higher price tag than you may realize. In this chart, we compare common stabilization methods, considering pros, cons and the required aggregate. How does your current method stack up? Click the chart to find out.
SpectraPave software provides engineers the most powerful tool available for evaluating roadway design options and optimizing pavement performance using Tensar Geogrids. This free program specializes in the stabilization of unpaved roadways and construction platforms as well as the optimization of paved roadways.

Tensar has designed a Subgrade Improvement Pocket Card that allows you to visually estimate subgrade strength. You can also use it to quickly determine your cost to improve the subgrade by using common methods like over-excavation, geotextile and geogrid.

A geogrid is a geosynthetic material used to stabilize soil. Today, more engineers and contractors are choosing TriAx Geogrid to improve site access, design higher performing roads and working platforms, combat increasing material costs, and speed construction timelines -even in inclement weather.
How do geogrids work? Geogrids have openings, called apertures, which allow aggregate to strike through and provide confinement and interlock. Geogrids can improve the long-term performance of paved and unpaved roadways and other surfaces by minimizing aggregate movement and maintaining modulus values.
TriAx keeps this project on track when it became too cold for chemical stabilization.
Over $500k saved and project finished one month ahead of schedule.
Two Oklahoma cities choose TriAx over chemical stabilization when hit by historic floods.
TriAx solution reduces required aggregate
and speeds construction for site
with pumping.
Ontario project site saved approximately
$150,000 on construction costs.
TriAx creates a firm & unyielding platform to support 600-ton crawler crane operations on weak soils (CBR of 1%.)
