The key aspect of Haul Road design is to ensure minimise rutting and road surface changes that will impact traffic movements and cause interruptions. The cost impacts on production of reducing truck speeds and “wear and tear” of haul fleets is well in excess of the costs of good haul road construction.
A carefully chosen Geogrid or Geoweb can be used to mechanically confine the aggregate that is used to construct the road and prevent it moving laterally under traffic loads. This results in a surface that is more resistant to rutting and surface deflections, requiring less maintenance, better OHS management and less dust generation. There is also potential to create pavements with less depth of aggregate material, maximising the use of readily available site soils.
