Build with Less Water
Geogrids and geotextiles can significantly reduce aggregate thickness—cutting compaction water demand by up to ~50% in typical road‑base sections. When it comes to water restrictions, now is the time for construction teams to plan strategies that minimize water use while maintaining schedule and performance.
Use ~50% Less Water for Compaction
Reinforced designs cut compaction water by about 50%, making it easier to meet restrictions without sacrificing productivity.
Reduce Aggregate Thickness & Project Costs
By reducing aggregate thickness, reinforced sections cut material, trucking, labor, and compaction water—delivering significant project cost savings without sacrificing performance.
Shorter Construction Duration
Thinner reinforced sections mean fewer compaction cycles, faster density, less moisture‑related downtime, and more reliable schedules even when water is limited.
Improved Performance on Weak Subgrades
On weak or variable subgrades, geogrids boost bearing capacity, control rutting, and let thin sections perform like full‑thickness builds.
Fewer Truckloads = Lower Emissions, Less Traffic Disruption
Thinner sections mean fewer truckloads, lower fuel and emissions, and less disruption to the community.
Weather‑Resilient Construction
Faster drying, fewer passes, fewer delays—reinforced sections stay on schedule when water doesn’t.
Acquiring water presents a critical obstacle.
This example cross-section created a 50% savings in water use. And for only a 5,000 m2 project, over 120,000 L of water is saved.
Effectively replacing or minimizing reliance on traditional sand, gravel, and other aggregates across applications such as roads, foundations, and drainage layers is imperative. Considering these alternatives, we can tackle the water shortage while maintaining the required performance and quality for construction projects.
