Vernal Airport and Tensar Triax Geogrid

The Vernal Airport design consisted of a fabric and Tirax Geogrid stabilization system. The site was graded, then a Class 1 AASHTO M288 8oz geotextile was installed for separation and filtration. Tensar TX160 was then placed on top of the fabric in-order to create a mechanical interlock for the aggregate section. This system was designed to increase the overall lifespan of the runway as well as remediate any soft soil issues on site. This design was approved and vetted by the FAA.
