Heavy Haul Roads

Heavy Haul Roads

Heavy haul roads are critical components of infrastructure and industrial operations, especially in sectors such as oil and gas, mining, logistics, and energy. These roads must support repeated traffic from oversized loads and high-axle vehicles, often under difficult site conditions. Failures in haul road performance can result in costly downtime, equipment damage, and safety hazards.,

At Soltra, we offer geogrid-based reinforcement solutions engineered specifically for the construction and upgrade of heavy haul roads. Our systems are designed to deliver the strength, durability, and performance required for these demanding applications—while reducing construction costs and time.

    Heavy haul roads are exposed to extreme and repetitive loads, which often accelerate deterioration in subgrade and base layers. Traditional road construction methods may require excessive excavation and thick aggregate layers to achieve the necessary bearing capacity. Our geogrid-reinforced systems provide a more efficient and resilient solution.

    By incorporating high-performance geogrids into the granular layers, we create a Mechanically Stabilised Layer (MSL) that enhances load distribution, increases structural stiffness, and significantly reduces deformation. This allows the road to maintain its integrity and performance over time, even under continuous use by heavy transport vehicles.

    Key Applications:

    Our geogrid reinforcement solutions are ideal for:

      • Oil and gas site access and rig movement corridors

      • Transport haul roads and equipment transport lanes

      • Industrial zones and fabrication yards

      • Power plant and substation access routes

      • Port and logistics terminal traffic routes

    Our support goes beyond simply supplying geogrid products. We provide complete, project-specific design services to ensure the optimal application of Load Transfer Platforms.

    Our engineering team delivers tailored solutions based on your site conditions, offering designs that reduce material usage, cut costs, and accelerate construction timelines.

    Services include detailed design calculations, layout drawings, and full technical documentation. All designs are backed by industry-leading software tools and global performance data, giving you confidence in both the approach and the long-term performance of the solution.
