Port of Los Angeles – Los Angeles, CaliforniaPatton Creek – Birmingham, Alabama

A solution was needed at this retail development
to create more useable land. The Mesa® Systems
were chosen because of their superior aesthetic
and economical capabilities which ultimately
saved the owner $500,000 in overall project costs.

By incorporating the Spectra® System, pavement
sections that allowed a high level of operational
flexibilitywere achieved for this 230-acre terminal.

For projects with grade separations, the SierraScape®
Retaining Wall System is a cost-effective solution
that blends more naturally with the site than
traditional concrete retaining wall systems.

Cold Water Creek – St. Louis, MO

California Gulch – Leadville, Colorado

When the Hawaii DOT needed a cost-effectivesolution to the boulder strategy specified in the
original plan for slope retention, they chose the
Sierra® Slope Retention System. The Hawaii
DOT saved millions of dollars and the project
received the 1998 Outstanding Civil Engineering
Achievement award.

This creek was excavated and rebuilt with on-site
soils using alternating layers of Tensar® BX and
UX Geogrid. The slope wasprotected with Vmax®
C350® permanent turf reinforcement mats resulting
in thick vegetation. Vmax® P550® was also installed
to protect an outlet from the overflow of a nearby
detention basin.

The flexibility of the Triton® Marine Mattresses
allowed the contractors to install them without
modification – even on tight curves.

When weak subgrade, heavy loads,thick fill layers, high
aggregate costs, variable subgrade conditions or shallow
utilities disrupt your construction schedule or budget, the
Spectra® Roadway Improvement System is often the best
solution. The Spectra System improves flexible pavements
in three ways:
˴ Simplifying construction
˴ Extending service life
˴ Reducing required materials
Not only does this system allow access and...
