Project Description
The pavement of this terminal sees severe rutting caused by container moving equipment. These extremely heavy pieces of equipment are forced to run on an exact path and cause damage to the asphalt. To extend the pavement life cycle at this facility, a control vs. fiber project was completed.
Update
After just 2 years, the rutting on the control side is evident. The FORTAfied® section is performing better then expected and has impressed project engineers.
