About

Global Synthetics Asphalt Geogrids are a type of geosynthetic material made from high strength polymer fibers coated with bitumen, designed for use in asphalt pavement reinforcement. These geogrids are used to improve the structural integrity and performance of asphalt pavements by reducing reflective cracking, extending the pavement life, and reducing maintenance costs. They work by distributing the load across a wider area, providing greater stiffness and reducing the stresses on the pavement. Global Synthetics Asphalt Geogrids are easy to install and have been proven to be an effective solution for improving the durability and longevity of asphalt pavements.

Sustainability Outcomes

Asphalt geogrids are an innovative solution that has the potential to reduce the amount of raw materials required for road construction. By providing reinforcement and support for the road, geogrids can reduce the thickness of the asphalt layer needed, thereby minimizing the amount of raw materials required for construction. This results in significant environmental benefits, including the conservation of resources and reduced emissions from transportation of raw materials. Sustainable procurement of asphalt geogrids requires responsible sourcing of materials, ensuring that suppliers meet environmental standards and using materials produced with minimal environmental impact. The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) commissioned by NAUE GmbH & Co. KG and accomplished by treeze Ltd. in 2016 provides valuable insight into the product’s sustainability and environmental impact. The superior long-term design strength characteristics of the product line are due to its high resistance against creep effects, which ensures its longevity and durability. Geogrids are versatile and can be used to improve the durability and longevity of roads, parking lots, sidewalks, and other transportation infrastructure. They can be designed to blend in with the surrounding pavement or create patterns and designs that enhance the visual appeal of transportation infrastructure. Asphalt geogrids are a game-changer in the construction industry, providing sustainable solutions that offer both environmental and economic benefits.

Mat-1 (ISv1.2) Materials footprint measurement and reduction Asphalt geogrids from Global Synthetics support the design and practice that reduces the lifecycle environmental impacts of materials by improving the durability and longevity of asphalt pavements. This reduces the need for frequent repairs and maintenance, which can result in a reduction of waste and emissions associated with infrastructure maintenance. The use of geosynthetic materials, such as asphalt geogrids, in infrastructure projects can also reduce the amount of virgin materials needed, which further reduces the environmental impact of the project.
