More cost-effective and efficient pavement construction solutions

Whether you are building a heavy haul road, solar farm access road, or municipal roadway, BaseLok products deliver long-lasting, cost-effective solutions. Our BaseLok products reduce layer thicknesses, lower labor costs, improve construction efficiency, and extend design life.

Application Types

Weak subgrades pose the greatest challenge to the performance of an unpaved access or haul road. Left untreated, a weak subgrade subjected to continuous heavy traffic will quickly deform, causing the road surface to rut, pothole, "washboard," and ultimately deteriorate beyond use. Baselok geogrids aggregate interlock and create a mechanically stabilized layer (MSL) to evenly distribute the load, increasing bearing capacity and ensuring longer-term stability and performance.

Flexible pavement structures often fail prematurely because of progressive lateral and vertical displacement and a weakening of the aggregate base course. When used in pavement construction, Baselok geogrids improve the overall stiffness of the structures that support traffic by confining and interlocking with aggregate to create a mechanically stabilized layer (MSL). This leads to enhanced performance by minimizing maintenance and rehabilitation intervals common to flexible pavements. By decreasing aggregate fill requirements, additional truck deliveries are avoided, resulting in a more resilient solution with a smaller carbon footprint. In addition, reflective cracking is one of the largest contributors to flexible pavement deterioration ”” HMA pavement reinforcement installed as a stiff tensile element at the bottom of an overlay drastically improves performance and reduces maintenance and life cycle costs.

Working platforms and construction surfaces must support heavy construction equipment while maintaining stability and safety. Geogrids help stabilize weak soils by creating a mechanically stabilized layer that distributes loads evenly and prevents excessive rutting or deformation. This results in safer working conditions and improved construction efficiency.

Parking lot pavements are subjected to repeated vehicle loads, which can cause rutting, cracking, and long-term deterioration. By reinforcing the base layer with geogrids, the pavement structure gains improved stiffness and load distribution, reducing maintenance needs and extending the service life of parking surfaces.
