What You Can Design

Design Modules

AREMA Rail Design

Calculate optimal ballast depth for reinforced and unreinforced track using AREMA methodology. Input wheel load, tie spacing, tie material, and subgrade CBR for instant side-by-side comparisons.

Roadway & Pavement Design

Design pavement subgrade stabilization and base reinforcement layers per AASHTO guidelines. Compare aggregate thickness reductions and quantify total material cost savings with BaseLok geogrid.

Retaining Wall Design

Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall design with geocell and geogrid reinforcement options. Evaluate global stability, bearing capacity, overturning, and cost efficiency for any wall height.

Slope Stability

Assess slope reinforcement requirements for embankments, cuts, and fills. Determine required geosynthetic tensile strength to achieve target factors of safety on any slope geometry.

Working Platform Design

Design reinforced working platforms for crane pads, heavy equipment staging, and construction access roads on soft or variable ground conditions with confidence.

Value Proposition Reports

Generate compelling ROI reports comparing reinforced vs. unreinforced designs. Visualize cost per foot, aggregate savings, and full lifecycle cost reductions  ready to present to any stakeholder.
