Where StrataBase™ is Used
StrataBase™ is engineered for infrastructure that has to perform on ground that can't be trusted to perform on its own.
Roads and Highways
- Subgrade and foundation improvement: A cost-effective alternative to undercutting and backfilling weak subgrade beneath a road or structure.
- Roads over weak soils: Reinforcement for road construction over weak soils, replacing costly, time-consuming stabilisation and soil replacement.
- Highway base stabilisation: Improves the stability and performance of highway pavement systems while reducing maintenance requirements and operational costs.
- Haul roads: Stabilisation and reinforcement for construction-site haul roads, built to hold up under repeated heavy traffic.
Railways
- Railway embankments: Reinforces railway embankments over weak soils, cutting down on extensive soil replacement and stabilisation work.
- Ballast and sub-ballast stabilisation: Improves load distribution and overall track performance by stabilising the ballast and sub-ballast layers.
Airports
- Runways and aprons: Reinforcement that supports stable pavement structures under demanding aircraft loading conditions.
Industrial and Commercial Facilities
- Parking lots and heavy-duty areas: Reinforcement for parking lots, truck terminals and tanker terminals, improving ground stability under heavy, repeated traffic.
Ports and Container Terminals
- Container terminals and laydown areas: Stabilises container terminals and construction laydown areas, particularly where facilities are built over weak or reclaimed marshland.
Mining
- Mine haul roads: Reinforces and stabilises mining haul roads, maintaining performance under heavy vehicle loading and difficult ground conditions.
Oil and Gas
- Oil field roads: Stabilises roads at oil-field sites exposed to heavy traffic and demanding operating conditions.
- Industrial tank foundations: Basal reinforcement for industrial tanks at petrochemical and oil terminals, including tanks built on weak or marshy soils.
