Applications

At present, the company’s main focus is centered on advanced roadway and rail track roadbed (ballast and sub-ballast) solutions.

A summary of the main benefits associated with the use of L.E. Geosolutions’ products and technical support services in these applications is provided below:

Types

  • Layer thickness optimization resulting in initial material cost savings of 10% to 15%
  • Up to 5-fold design life extension
  • Cost-neutral pavements with “free design life extension”

  • 3-fold decrease in the rate of reflective crack propagation
  • Increased resistance to asphalt rutting and fatigue life
  • Enhanced performance of spot repairs such as potholes, areas subjected to intense local cracking, etc.

  • Ballast/Sub-ballast thickness reduction of up to 50%
  • 3- to 5-fold reduction in ballast settlement rates

  • Aggregate thickness reduction
  • Material cost savings of up to 50%
  • More environmentally friendly construction practices

  • Reduction in the required thickness of asphalt, Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) or Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC)
