Download Case Study
Project Overview
Distressed pavement at a Union Pacific Railroad container transfer facility presented long-term performance challenges. More than 4.5 acres required milling of the existing asphalt and reflective cracking repairs. With such a large and expensive project at bay, our customer sought a reliable and long-term rehabilitation solution.
Challenge
Overall, the goal was to repair and reinforce 4.5 acres of existing asphalt along a railway using interlayer technology, such as fiberglass paving mats, within a newly paved asphalt lift. Because the work site was easily accessible, large demo and installation equipment was accommodated.
How did Ferguson Waterworks repair reflective cracking with cost-efficient paving geocomposites?
To address both the reflective cracking and reinforcement goals, Mirafi MPG4 paving geocomposite was chosen. Not only is Mirafi MPG4 cost-effective, but also Ferguson Waterworks quickly facilitated ordering and delivery of the fiberglass paving mat to ensure a fast turnaround. As a result, our customer both improved the performance cycle of the pavement and also lowered maintenance costs.
