Ground Bearing Survey (GBS)

Heavy Duty Pavements (HDP) specializes in providing a load case-related Ground Bearing Survey (GBS).
In this GBS, we assess the geometry of the target area. After the geotechnical mapping of the area, several possible solutions are calculated to help upgrade the existing bearing capacity up to the required (future) load case-related Ground Bearing Pressure (GBP).

As a first step, HDP assesses the results from the Geotech report (if available already). Based on this first impression, HDP, together with their partner Geobest Engineering, will interpret these results and draft a Geotechnical analysis of the project location(s). This analysis will enable us to do our risk analysis, and as a result, we will know what areas might cause issues for the required future higher load cases.

Together with the client, the exact footprint of the load-case(s) will be determined (Load case Analysis). Based on this load case analysis and the Geotechnical Analysis, we can calculate the required bearing capacity of the Enviro-Mat Stabilization or other technical solutions. Based on these safe technical solutions, you can choose the best solution for your project from an economical and environmental perspective. A presentation with the calculations and solutions are presented to you in an easy-to-read Ground Bearing Survey(GBS) report.

About Enviro-Mat®

With a continuously changing climate, varying soil compositions, and more demands on sustainability, stable on-site roads are more important than ever. Heavy Duty Pavement’s soil stabilization method ensures your site can withstand pressure from heavy vehicles and loads and is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional load spreading practices. Our solution is strong enough to remain in place for decades or can be removed and mixed with the existing soil without environmental impact. Our Enviro-Mat® solution results in leadtime reduction in your project and a more safe environment for your vehicles and work force.
