Applications

Interstate Highways & High-Volume Corridors

Transportation authorities integrated fiberglass reinforcement into master specifications for high-volume interstate highways.

Strategic Applications · Highways

Where the Investment Makes Sense

✓Resurfacing projects on interstates and multi-lane corridors where the existing base is structurally sound.

✓Overlays where reflective cracking from old joints and cracks is the main mode of distress.

✓Corridors where lane closures are costly and longer maintenance cycles reduce traffic disruption.

✓Projects written to DOT master specifications that call for fiberglass reinforcement interlayers.

Structural Triggers · Highways

Primary Structural Triggers for Use

Public and private civil engineering agencies routinely require structural glass reinforcement interlayers:

!Overlay thickness is limited by bridge clearances, guardrails or curb heights.

!Existing pavement shows widespread transverse and longitudinal cracking.

!The corridor carries sustained high-volume and heavy-axle traffic.

Heavy Trucking Routes & Freight Terminals

High tensile strength fiberglass resists fatigue cracking, severe rutting, shoving, and traffic-induced mechanical stress. Ideal for heavy truck routes.

Strategic Applications · Trucking

Where the Investment Makes Sense

✓Truck routes and freight terminals where repeated heavy loads cause fatigue cracking.

✓Pavements prone to rutting and shoving under slow-moving or braking trucks.

✓Yards and access roads where a longer overlay life lowers total maintenance cost.

✓Facilities that cannot afford extended shutdowns for full-depth reconstruction.

Structural Triggers · Trucking

Primary Structural Triggers for Use

Public and private civil engineering agencies routinely require structural glass reinforcement interlayers:

!Severe fatigue or alligator cracking in wheel paths.

!Rutting and shoving at turning, stopping and loading areas.

!Traffic made up mostly of loaded trucks and trailers.

Airports, Taxiways, and Runways

Fiberglass reinforcement is part of master specifications for commercial airports.

Strategic Applications · Airports

Where the Investment Makes Sense

✓Runway, taxiway and apron rehabilitation where the existing base remains sound.

✓Airfield pavements where reflective cracking creates debris and maintenance risk.

✓Projects where short closure windows favor fast installation.

✓Commercial airports with master specifications that include fiberglass reinforcement.

Structural Triggers · Airports

Primary Structural Triggers for Use

Public and private civil engineering agencies routinely require structural glass reinforcement interlayers:

!Overlay thickness is constrained by grades and existing elevations.

!Cracking in the old pavement threatens to reflect through a new overlay.

!Pavement is subject to heavy aircraft loads and thermal stress.

Municipal Roads & Urban Transit Ways

Fewer cracks and minimal pavement repairs mean fewer lane closures and fewer commuter complaints.

Strategic Applications · Municipal

Where the Investment Makes Sense

✓City streets and transit corridors with sound bases and recurring surface cracking.

✓Routes where fewer repairs mean fewer lane closures and commuter complaints.

✓Overlays where curb and gutter heights limit how much asphalt can be added.

✓Agencies looking to stretch preservation budgets across more lane miles.

Structural Triggers · Municipal

Primary Structural Triggers for Use

Public and private civil engineering agencies routinely require structural glass reinforcement interlayers:

!Overlay thickness is limited by curbs, gutters, driveways and utility covers.

!Reflective cracking returns quickly after standard mill and fill.

!Bus and transit routes carry repeated heavy loads.

Commercial Parking Lots & Retail Centers

Achieves far more years of service from the exact same overlay investment.

Strategic Applications · Parking

Where the Investment Makes Sense

✓Parking lots and retail centers where the existing base is still in good condition.

✓Surfaces where water infiltration through cracks is damaging the sub-base.

✓Owners who want more years of service from the same overlay investment.

✓Sites where keeping lots open during work matters to tenants and customers.

Structural Triggers · Parking

Primary Structural Triggers for Use

Public and private civil engineering agencies routinely require structural glass reinforcement interlayers:

!Overlay thickness is limited by curbs, drains and building entrances.

!Cracking allows water to reach and weaken the sub-base.

!Delivery and drive lanes see regular truck traffic.

Industrial & Logistics Facilities

Strengthens existing structures from within rather than completely removing and rebuilding them.

Strategic Applications · Industrial

Where the Investment Makes Sense

✓Industrial and logistics sites where existing pavement can be strengthened instead of removed.

✓Distribution yards with constant heavy equipment and truck movement.

✓Facilities where reconstruction downtime would interrupt operations.

✓Owners planning long-term pavement budgets across large paved areas.

Structural Triggers · Industrial

Primary Structural Triggers for Use

Public and private civil engineering agencies routinely require structural glass reinforcement interlayers:

!Fatigue cracking and surface failure under heavy equipment.

!Water infiltration is softening the pavement structure.

!Operations cannot shut down for full-depth reconstruction.
