Construction Notes: Access Roads for Wind Farms

Access to or from construction sites often involves crossing over very weak or variable ground conditions. Thus, before work can begin on site, Engineers are often first challenged with the problem of how they actually get to site. Many different forms of geosynthetics exist to assist in overcoming this problem, but few, if any, offer as high a performance solution as E’GRID biaxial geogrids. In this tech note, published via Hanes Geo Components, wind farm access road construction are profiled–as are the critical role geogrids play in making this sustainable energy sector succeed.
