Unpaved and Haul/Access Roads

Unpaved Roads made of dirt, gravel, or stone that are used to haul goods to and from a job site.

Common Problems & Available Solutions


A pumping subgrade is typically due to inadequate compaction, shown by moisture drawing up to the surface. If not treated properly, this can create "soft spots" where moisture will pool and cause surface deflection over time. Depending on the application, there are practical geosynthetic solutions used to bridge soft subgrade and normalize moisture to achieve proper compaction.

If aggregate and shipping costs are high, a common goal may be reduce the required amount without disrupting the system's performance. Knowledge of the site conditions, traffic loads, and performance needs allow an opportunity to consider an alternative, optimized design by use of geosynthetics.

What are Unpaved and Haul/Access Roads?

Unpaved and haul/access roads refer to any temporary or permanent drivable surface consisting of aggregate that is not finished with pavement. Because of this, unpaved roads are prone to rutting, surface deformation/settlement, or potholes from irregular traffic patterns and vehicular impact if not designed properly.

Geosynthetics can compliment the aggregate used in an unpaved road to enhance your base material and compaction during installation. Thus, mitigating surface deformations or rutting over time. Depending on the application, geosynthetics can be used to reduce the amount of aggregate needed, enhance lower quality aggregates, minimize the amount of required subgrade preparation, and more.
