This document is the Geosynthetics for Pavement Applications Sell Sheet. General descriptions of geotextiles, fabrics, geogrids with benefits explained.

ADS offers a wide variety of woven and non-woven geotextiles for use in pavement construction applications. Within the pavement, these geotextiles provide drainage, separation, stabilization and soil reinforcement. These high-quality products are available directly through a nationwide network of stocking locations.

ADS nonwoven fabrics are made of polypropylene filaments and are approved by the Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency and AASHTO. Nonwoven geotextiles offer consistent drainage and separation.

ADS woven fabrics are manufactured from high tensile extruded polypropylene yarns that provide separation and stabilization in both paved and unpaved roads and parking areas. The high strength of the woven geotextile provide stress dissipation within the pavement structure allowing higher loadings with thinner pavement designs.

ADS pavement reinforcement nonwoven geotextiles (paving fabrics) offer a high quality, consistent pavement interliner for pavement overlay applications. These paving fabrics provide Moisture barrier and stress absorbing interlayer, Reduces reflective cracking, Can be utilized in existing pavement applications, Used to minimize water infiltration, Less expensive and more effective long term results than milling plus overlay, thicker overlays, surface treatments and chemical mixes.

ADS BX Geogrids have been successfully designed and installed with a history of proven performance in the United States and worldwide. Biaxial geogrids offer improved roadway solutions based on time-tested design principles. ADS Geogrids add strength and stability to the soil layers via confinement of the soil particles.

Whether paved or unpaved, ADS Geogrids provide two unique yet related functions of soil stabilization and base reinforcement. When faced with soft soils, ADS Geogrids offer solutions to deep undercutting or chemical stabilization to greatly reduce the overall cost of construction. When constructing roadways over a firm subgrade, ADS Geogrids enhance pavement life, reduce required aggregate and pavement thickness. The high-tensile strength and junction efficiency confine and restrain aggregate from lateral movement.
