Lawrence Street Wodonga Australia
Wodonga City Council in Victoria, Australia, faced significant pavement deterioration on Lawrence Street, requiring urgent rehabilitation. The project presented unique challenges due to unknown underground services and potentially redundant infrastructure that risked damage during excavation. Tensar's innovative solution, incorporating Tensar+ and InterAx geogrid technology, delivered remarkable improvements, reducing construction time by 35%, cutting costs and carbon emissions by 20%, while increasing traffic capacity by 60%.
Benefits
- Reduces construction time up to 35% and costs up to 20%
- Tensar solution reduced emissions by 20%
- Traffic capacity increased 60% with strengthening
The project owner faced significant pavement deterioration, with the road nearing the end of its service life. The area, historically developed, had unknown underground services and potentially redundant infrastructure, posing a significant risk of damage during excavation with the original non-stabilised full depth treatment. Environmental concerns, including CO2 emissions and ongoing maintenance, also contributed to the need for a more efficient, sustainable solution.
Tensar’s solution optimised the pavement design using Tensar+ Asphalt Pavement module and Tensar InterAx geogrid, resulting in a significantly reduced pavement treatment depth. This approach minimised material requirements, shortened construction time by 35% and reduced construction costs and carbon emissions by 20%. In addition to these benefits, the pavement was strengthened, increasing the design traffic capacity by over 60%. The design was customised to site specific conditions, ensuring better performance, reduced environmental impact, and alignment with the asset owner’s requirements.
