Resurfacing I-65 with a Sustainable Geosynthetic Interlayer
Todd Julian, Propex
A section of Interstate 65 near Indianapolis, IN required resurfacing due to cracking from heavy traffic loading. The roadway included asphalt concrete layers over an underlying jointed concrete pavement. The project engineers originally considered a mill and fill operation to replace the deteriorated pavement with the same five inches of new asphalt concrete. Recognizing that using traditional replacement methods would yield short-term results, Indiana DOT (INDOT) looked for an option that would extend the lifetime performance of the road. INDOT selected PETROMAT® Enviro™, a fully millable and recyclable AASHTO M288 Type II paving fabric interlayer containing no fiberglass.
LiteEarth™ – Erosion and Maintenance Free Capping
Adam Maskal, Solmax
Solmax’s fully anchored LiteEarth™ capping system enables you to cap environmentally sensitive basins where erosion and soil instability make it difficult to install and operate traditional capping systems. Where traditional systems require significant design considerations and maintenance to avoid erosion of the cover, our LiteEarth™ system shines. The LiteEarth™ capping system is the only monolithic geosynthetic system, which means that there is no granular ballast to maintain. LiteEarth™ is made of a 40-mil LLDPE Series geomembrane laminated to synthetic grass and is installed using permanent engineered earth anchors.
