1 HIGH PERFORMANCE ROADWAY SOLUTIONS

2 ROADWAYS - REDUCING COST & IMPROVING PERFORMANCE As technology advances, the cost of building roads is becoming significantly reduced, and the carbon footprint is minimized as natural resources are conserved. Propex GeoSolutions keeps customers at the forefront of these advancements by providing time-saving, application knowledge through our experienced engineering team and costeffective product selections for all transportation infrastructure solutions. The passing of the Federal Highway Administration FAST Act has launched widespread roadway improvement throughout the U.S. Along with guaranteed long-term funding, the FAST Act emphasizes increased efficiency with timely delivery of projects, and the application of more innovative solutions for a cost-effective and durable infrastructure. As one of the largest geosynthetics manufacturers in the world, Propex has perfected the production of a wide variety of products to deliver superior performance under demanding construction conditions. We partner with universities, public agencies, and private consultants across the globe to enhance civil, environmental, and geotechnical engineering designs using geosynthetics. We continue to provide industry leadership to set standards for quality and innovation, and pride ourselves in offering the most comprehensive and advanced technical service and support in the market.

3 DESIGNING AND BUILDING ROADWAYS Aggregate contamination from subgrade soil is the number one cause of premature road failure due to loss of base aggregate strength and permeability. GEOTEX SEPARATION/STABILIZATION GEOTEXTILES ENHANCE ROADWAY PERFORMANCE BY: Preserving the unbound aggregate support layers Eliminating the need for future full depth reconstruction Confining and strengthening both the subgrade soil and the aggregate base Eliminating the need for frequent aggregate replacement, reducing dust formation and the frequency of maintenance with unpaved roads Making it easy to design and specify using AASHTO M-288 Specifications for Geotextile Applications PAVEMENT REHABILITATION Excessive moisture and reflective cracking reduce the functional life of asphalt and concrete overlays. PETROMAT AND/OR PETROTAC ASPHALT PAVEMENT INTERLAYERS IMPROVE OVERLAY PERFORMANCE BY: Working as moisture barriers to reduce infiltration of moisture into the pavement Reducing fatigue and reflective cracking as a stress absorbing interlayer Improving durability and performance within rural chip seal pavement REFLECTEX SOLAR REFLECTIVE UNBONDED CONCRETE INTERLAYER IMPROVES OVERLAY PERFORMANCE AND REDUCES CONSTRUCTION AND TRAFFIC DELAYS AND COSTS BY: Reducing early age cracking Replacing traditional asphalt concrete interlayers Lowering surface temperature and allowing for daytime pours Coming on wider rolls, saving time and money on installation For more details on these roadway applications and others including geogrid stabilization, slope/wall reinforcement, silt fence, and fibers in concrete, visit our website at

5 EROSION CONTROL & SLOPE STABILIZATION Propex GeoSolutions provides powerful products to stabilize roadway embankments while improving aesthetics. Pyramat High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats (HPTRMs) and the Armormax Engineered Earth Solution provide slope stabilization and long-lasting erosion control. Roadway embankments begin to slough due to factors such as over steepening and saturated soil conditions The ARMORMAX Engineered Earth Solution improves embankment performance by: Providing resistance against shallow plane slope failures by using Engineered Earth Anchors Providing resistance against local failures by using a High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mat (HPTRM) Providing UV resistance, even in applications with little to no vegetative cover Drainage ditches begin to scour when hydraulic stresses are introduced that exceed the capabilities of unreinforced vegetation PYRAMAT High Performance Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs) protect ditches against erosion by: Increasing the resistive forces against hydraulic stresses such as shear stress and velocity Enhancing seedling emergence Providing an environmentally-friendly and more cost effective solution compared to concrete and rock riprap Before After Before After
