9 Things Your RoadEngineers Need to Know

About Neoloy-basedGeocells.

The Canadian Infrastructure ReportCard estimated that 52.6% ofCanada's municipal roads were infair or poor condition. Replacementcost: $91.1 billion.

As populations increase, and road traffic grows,more and more pressure is put on our roadsystem. Governments and corporations are

seeking better, less expensive solutions.

In 2012

Typical useful lifespan of anurban arterial road.

Benefits of correctly designing roads withNeoloy-based geocells:

Extends road lifespan by up to FOUR times

Reduces cost of construction

Virtually eliminates the need for roadmaintenance

Improves road safety

Virtually eliminates seasonal road bans

15 - 18years15 - 18years

$377

Estimated ADDITIONAL annual costs toaverage US households for vehiclemaintenance due to degraded roads.

Neoloy-based geocells can reduce the cost ofbuilding roads, reduce the cost of maintenance,

and extend road lifespans.

-Dr Sanat Pokharel

The benefits of using Neoloy-based geocells inroad engineering:

“The results from the three stages of experimentalstudies in this research have demonstrated clearbenefits of geocell reinforcement in terms of increasedstiffness and bearing capacity, wider stress distribution,and reduced permanent deformation.”

50%

Approximate reduction in asphalt layeringwhen using Neoloy-based geocells

50%

-60 to +60

Improvement in road's load-bearingcapacity, so less chance for ruts todevelop

Temperature range (Celcius) Neoloy-basedgeocells can handle, which means less creep in

the base and sub-base

80%Estimated reduction inunpaved road settlement

When designed correctly, paved and unpaved roadsreinforced by geocells can manage heavier loads

more frequently, even though they use less aggregateand pavement, because the geocells act like a

supporting beam.
