Tensar Pavement Interlayers

Two Options to Meet Your Requirements

HMA reinforcement is a cost-effective and easy solution to extend the service life of asphalt overlay applications. Tensar offers two geosynthetic interlayer systems that improve the performance of asphalt layers in new construction and pavement rehabilitation.

• GlasGrid® Pavement Reinforcement System – this stress absorbing system  offers superior stiffness characteristics along with an open aperture to ensure through-hole bonding of asphalt layers. This unique combination of features makes the GlasGrid System the optimum choice for heavy- and medium-duty overlay projects in terms of performance and total life-cycle cost savings.
• GlasPave® Waterproofing Paving Mat – this system combines the waterproofing ability of a polyester mat with the high modulus of fiberglass netting to yield a cost-effective reflective crack mitigation solution for light- to medium-duty pavement overlay projects.

Proper selection of a pavement reinforcement is critical to ensure the asphalt overlay service life is realized for the intended design. In all cases, a minimum of 1.5 in. of compacted asphalt must be installed on top of the reinforcement to carry the design traffic. In projects where rut sensitive asphalt mixes are likely, or there are areas with high potential for traffic induced rutting, then the minimum compacted overlay thickness must be increased to 2 in. Other key considerations are:

• Pavement Type
• Anticipated Traffic
• Need for Waterproofing
• Existing Distress Type
