Ground stabilization for heavy-duty and high-traffic mining environments

Geohex is a high-strength, permeable ground stabilization system designed for demanding mining and industrial environments where surface stability, durability, and traffic performance are critical. Used internationally across heavy-duty applications, Geohex provides reinforced ground surfaces for vehicle access, equipment movement, and operational zones while maintaining drainage and reducing surface degradation.

The challenge in mining environments

Mining sites place extreme demands on ground surfaces due to heavy loads, repetitive traffic, and harsh operating conditions.

Common challenges include:

Surface deformation under heavy vehicles and equipment
 Rutting and ground failure in high-traffic zones
Poor drainage leading to  unstable or unsafe surfaces
High maintenance requirements for access and laydown areas
The need for flexible solutions in changing site conditions

Reliable ground stabilization is essential to maintain safety and operational efficiency.

Typical mining applications

Geohex is commonly used in mining and industrial environments, including:

Equipment access routes
Laydown and staging areas
Maintenance and service zones
Temporary or semi-permanent access roads
High-traffic operational areas

Final installation details depend on traffic type, frequency, and site conditions.

PERFORMANCE GUIDANCE

Typical performance groupings

Construction and civil applications commonly align with Commercial or Heavy-Duty & Industrial performance groupings, depending on vehicle type, load frequency, and site conditions. Detailed base guidance, installation cross-sections, load classifications, and CAD drawings are available in the Technical Hub.

Designed for operational flexibility

In mining environments, Geohex supports:

Durable surface performance under changing conditions
Reduced maintenance compared to unreinforced ground
Flexible deployment for temporary or evolving site layouts
Improved site access and traffic management
