TRIAXIAL GEOGRIDS IN ROAD TECHNOLOGY PROGRESS

The paper deals with the design and construction of unpaved access roads where large quantities of triaxialgeogrids have been incorporated. In the last 5 years in Romania big wind farms were set up in order to increase the national production of green energy. Tens of kilometers of unpaved access roads have been executed for the establishment, operation and maintenance of the wind farms. Geosynthetic materials and, specifically, triaxialgeogrids, brought important benefits in the construction of these roads: a decrease of the execution period, a decrease of construction costs and a better quality of the completed works.
