Triax makes the Cut in Perth - Subgrade Stabilisation

A Triax geocomposite enabled construction of a road across highly saturated, and very weak, ground to provide access to a new community being built on the outskirts of Perth, Scotland.

Client’s Challenge

A section of the road between the A85 and Bertha Park runs in a cutting through an area of weak soils, with groundwater lying above road level. Construction of a conventional capping
layer, forming the foundation of the temporary access road and the permanent pavement, was unsuccessful, so an alternative was needed.

Tensar Solution

Field trials demonstrated that an aggregate layer, mechanically stabilised by incorporating a geocomposite of Triax geogrid backed with a non-woven geotextile, combined with a new
drainage regime, would overcome the extremely challenging ground and groundwater conditions.This layer provided sufficient support to carry light construction traffic and also allowed the permanent road to be built above without any issues.

• Zonguldak hard coal mining doubles output and modernises plant technology

A core region of hard coal extraction and energy production with a 200-year mining tradition: This brief description applies to the Ruhr region, but also to Turkey with numerous state and private hard coal mines. But there is also a considerable difference: while coal mining in the Ruhr region has been history for a year, it has excellent prospects in Turkey. This is because the considerable regional deposits are to be mined more intensively than before. This is the aim of Turkey's energy development plan, which aims to reduce its dependence on energy imports.
