Roquette Pea Processing Plant

Swamp Grid Roquette

Industry

Civil Infrastructure

Challenge:

At the world’s largest pea processing plant, a strong and durable base was essential to support high-volume, heavy axle traffic, especially with limited aggregate supply from a nearby gravel pit offering only large-sized material.

Achievement:

Swamp Grid® was proposed as an efficient solution that reduced granular thickness by 31%, improved pavement strength and drainage, minimized differential settlement, and provided a long-term, low-maintenance design.

Product Used:

Location: Portage la Prairie, Manitoba

Project Type: Supply and Installation

Product Used: Swamp Grid® 30

Challenge

As the world's largest pea processing plant this job site has heavy traffic footprint with heavy axle loads. It was critical that the sites base be able to withstand heavy and high volume traffic. There are also no quarries near by this site, so the aggregate source is limited to a gravel pit which only provides larger gradation size of aggregates.

 

Titan Solution

Roquette2

We proposed Swamp Grid®, the perfect solution for a quick compaction and quick design turnaround.

The design included incorporating one layer of Swamp Grid® at the interface of the granular sub-base course and the sub-grade. Reinforcing the granular sub-base with one layer of Swamp Grid®, saved 31% thickness of the granular.

Further improving the strength and stiffness of the pavement, increasing the traffic benefit ratio, minimizing the differential settlement and improving the drainage characteristics of the granular layer.

In addition, an engineered long-term solution for performance, settlement and no maintenance for a specified period.

Titan Pre-Design Highlights:

  • 200mm base course reduction.
  • AASHTO Imperial method/modified used. SN-LCR
  • The reduction of trucking with end - result in the carbon footprint.

 

Swamp Grid® is an advanced composite geogrid product consisting of our Titan Earth Grid® heat-bonded to a long-fiber PET nonwoven geotextile.

Achievement

  • Reduced maintenance.
  • Significant savings in fill thicknesses.
  • Minimized differential settlement.
  • Reduced rate of permanent settlement.
  • Eliminated excavation and replacement with imported fill.
