Our Solutions Compounds and Haul roadsTemporary works are necessary for creating a safe and practical construction site, as well as building a more positive relationship with the public and key stakeholders. But the creation of initial site compounds and haul roads can have a huge impact on resources for contractors, who must take on the associated costs and risks. As these are short-term measures, understandably, contractors don’t want to spend a large proportion of a project’s time and money on these works – no matter their importance. That's where we can help. 
Our geogrid solutions are perfectly positioned to solve these problems. An under-utilised solution, geogrids can reduce the thickness of a haul road or compound, by 50 up to per cent, resulting in substantially reduced construction cost and time. Along with significant cost reductions, geogrids improve site health and safety, accelerate construction timescales and reduce the project’s overall environmental impact by requiring less use of heavy aggregates to achieve equivalent pavement stability. This is because when granular particles are compacted over these grids, they partially penetrate and project through the apertures to create a stiff and positive interlock. The load dispersal effect from the interlocking mechanism increases shearing resistance within the aggregates, improving compaction and allowing the granular thickness to be decreased – ultimately reducing construction time, cost and environmental impacts.  Accelerate your construction programmeOur experience and leadership have allowed us to develop a range of unique and innovative products that give specifiers, contractors and asset owners significant benefits.
Compounds and haul roads in numbers Our geosynthetic solutions have been used on thousands of projects to provide significant cost savings as well as promote sustainability and reduce emissions.
Ready to get involved Supporting tender bidsWe’re an advocate of early engagement because if a Geoworks engineering manager is engaged at the tender stage, the impact on the savings to reduce time and money can also assist contractors in winning tenders. Another benefit of early engagement is that geogrids can be manufactured to the exact width that the contractor needs, suiting the site-specific requirements and creating an even more cost-effective grid. Simply removing a longitudinal overlap in the geogrid layout can save a further 10 per cent in product costs alone. Small changes but big savings are available. However, all isn’t lost if engagement comes afterwards as savings can still be introduced.
