At present, the company’s main focus is centered on advanced roadway and rail track roadbed (ballast and sub-ballast) solutions.
APPLICATION TYPES
A summary of the main benefits associated with the use of TMP America’s products and technical support services in these applications is provided below:
Flexible Pavement Construction
- Layer thickness optimization resulting in initial material cost savings of 10% to 15%
- Up to 5-fold design life extension
- Cost-neutral pavements with “free design life extension”
Rail Track Structures
- Ballast/Sub-ballast thickness reduction of up to 50%
- 3- to 5-fold reduction in ballast settlement rates
Access Roads, Unpaved Low Volume Roads & Working Platforms
- Aggregate thickness reduction
- Material cost savings of up to 50%
- More environmentally friendly construction practices
Heavy Duty Pavements (Port Facilities, Intermodal Yards, Etc.)
- Reduction in the required thickness of asphalt, Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) or Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC)
Mining Applications
- BX geogrids are commonly used to provide support in underground mine and tunnel applications. These products include a flame retardant for additional safety.
