Tensar® Glasstex® R60N+C Reinforces Al-Hesah Asphalt
Rectification and Improvement Works.
Constructed in 2024.
- Mitigates reflective cracking, extending overlay service life
- Accelerates construction, minimising traffic disruptions and closures
A heavily trafficked 1.3 km segment of Al Hesah Street exhibited premature reflective cracking within the asphalt layers. The client required a durable, quickly deployable solution to control cracking without deep reconstruction—preserving curb lines and utilities while minimising lane closures on this busy urban corridor.
Tensar® Glasstex® R60N+C asphalt reinforcement was installed within the overlay to provide high tensile stiffness and crack mitigation, interrupting crack propagation from underlying layers. The approach supported optimised overlay thickness, improved fatigue resistance, and faster paving cycles. The contractor delivered a robust, longer lasting surface with reduced future maintenance and improved ride quality.
