Choosing Base Course Stabilization
Using geosynthetics for base course stabilization reduces the volume of aggregate required for construction, which in turn reduces excavation and fill volumes in road construction. This lowers construction costs and CO2 emissions. Road stabilization improves long-term road performance. The following is a rule-of-thumb guide for comparing the available options. For more detail, Petra Nusa provides design calculation recommendations based on soil conditions (CBR, etc.), rock aggregate and traffic loading conditions.

Geonet as a Drainage Liner
Every construction project needs a drainage system that can carry away liquids that would otherwise cause unexpected problems. Geonet drainage is one of the most effective solutions to the conditions commonly found in geotechnical construction, such as saturated soil, waterlogged ground, a bulging waterproof liner, seepage and leaks. To deal with and prevent these unexpected […]
Using Geocell for Mining Haul Roads
A critical structure in the production process at a mine site is the haul road, which is why geocell for mining roads matters. The subgrade structure of a haul road must be strong and able to support the moving loads that travel over it. Heavy loads coming in and out, around 160 tons, combined with […]
What Is HDPE Geomembrane? Types and Applications
What Is HDPE Geomembrane? HDPE geomembrane is a geosynthetic product made from polyethylene polymer resin. The polyethylene used is high-density, with a density of around 0.94 g /cm3. Geomembrane, also known as HDPE tarpaulin, is impermeable to water and gas. This impermeability is widely used by construction professionals to contain wastewater or raw water as […]
