BALTIMORE, MD – SynTec, LLC, manufacture of state of the art geosynthetic products, announced the release of ROADWORX® a design software for unpaved and paved roads using SynTec’s biaxial polypropylene geogrids. ROADWORX® provides reliable and proven design methods to calculate layer thicknesses for paved and unpaved roads. A comprehensive cost calculator lets the user compare and identify the most economical solutions. The release of ROADWORX® is a part of SynTec’s ongoing commitment to product evolution, innovation, and support. The resulting version comes from a combination of industry guidelines and feedback from geosynthetic experts, designers and end-users of biaxial geogrids.
With ROADWORX® capability, the user can quickly evaluate project options and related costs of various road building decisions. ROADWORX® provides an accurate and scientific site specific analysis based on decades of industry research and proven field performance. These analysis capabilities offer customers a simple comprehensive method of evaluation when faced with real-world challenges and uncertainties.
Since its initial limited release, ROADWORX® has already helped many users make strategic design and cost decisions on various projects including; highways, rail yards, industrial sites and similar applications.
With ROADWORX®, engineers can basically make much more informed decisions. It gives them much better insight into the logistics of their specific site situations, and enables them to allocate real values to different options SynTec integrally formed, stiff polypropylene biaxial geogrids are manufactured in the USA with decades of proven history. This release of ROADWORX®, reiterates SynTec’s commitment to enhancing, innovating and integrating strategic solutions to provide significant competitive advantage for our customers.
Reduce Initial Cost of Construction
With the use of SynTec Biaxial geogrids, the same number of ESALs can be supported by a thinner layer of aggregate versus a thicker, unreinforced layer. The thinner layer section reduces initial cost of construction by allowing for less excavation, hauling, aggregate, and material to place.
Extended Service Life for Reduced Life Cycle Cost
When added to an already designed cross section, SynTec Biaxial geogrids prevent the lateral movement of the aggregate layer it supports. This reduces the stress on the subgrade layer thus minimizing rutting in paved and unpaved surfaces. SynTec Biaxial geogrids have been proven to extend service life by many times.
Cost Analysis
Many factors and components contribute to road building costs. ROADWORX® comprehensive cost calculator lets the user easily evaluate each component to isolate the most cost effective design solution.
