Reinforcement technology within roads and pavements creates a more dynamic system among the variables within the environment.  Roads & Pavement Reinforcement increases the service life of roads and highways by reducing fatigue, reflective, thermal and settlement cracking.

Roads & Pavement Reinforcement relieves and redistributes stress concentrations in the pavement;

• Reducing reflective cracking into overlays
• Improving load distribution
• Improving the bearing capacity of the pavement structure
• Increasing resistance to rutting and shoving

The capability of the reinforcement to withstand loads will depend both on the type of reinforcement, its location within the structure and the interaction between the reinforcement and the surrounding bituminous material. Discontinuities will inevitably lead to cracks in the asphalt.

Maccaferri offers a wide range of asphalt pavement reinforcement products from Road Mesh double twisted steel wire mesh, used to structurally reinforce pavements, to MacGrid^® geogrids and MacTex^® geocomposite fabrics. With the extensive product line at Maccaferri, flexibility is our strength.
