The advantages of using this reinforced geocomposite and anti-cracking geotextile on the road are many and very good. The technical, economic and environmental advantages are detailed below.
The technical support provided by anti-cracking geotextiles and reinforced geocomposites has been proven through its application in different engineering projects: crack resistance of aged pavements, pavement reinforcement, soil stabilization. In applications in road construction, it has demonstrated increased road stability due to its enhanced functionality, increased resistance, prevention of settlement and better adhesion to asphalt. In addition, it prevents soil abrasion due to wet or watery weather conditions.
Economic advantages stem from technological advantages, as we can assume that if roads are less degraded, the frequency of investing in repairs and maintenance costs will be less.
All in all, we are faced with materials that are easier to handle, more environmentally friendly, more economical and with the best technical results than the traditional methods previously used in the construction of the Spanish road network.
Anti-cracking geotextiles and reinforced geocomposites appear in places we could not have imagined: on the floors of industrial areas, shopping malls, airport runways, large parking lots, etc. constantly receiving large quantities of goods...and anywhere that has been proven to be a guarantee material for success. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a great achievement of civil engineering to use it for the maintenance and repair of roads.
