Geosynthetics software from NAUE

Geosynthetics manufacturer NAUE is offering free software for the design of base course thicknesses. The improved SecuCalc package allows online calculation of base course thickness on a PC or mobile device. The user only has to input a one-time registration, without additional software installation.

The system can be used with NAUE’s Secugrid and Combigrid geogrid products. There is no need to install the package on the user’s computer as the NAUE SecuCalc software is web-based (except the Giroud-Han version).

After registration, all software functions can be carried out directly on the SecuCalc website using a computer, tablet or smartphone. Using NAUE’s SecuCalc Software, the firm says that a customer can design the required thicknesses for reinforced base courses in road construction as well as for parking lots or similar applications.

The calculation allows a direct cost comparison between the firm’s Secugrid and Combigrid stabilised and reinforced base courses and conventional construction methods without geosynthetics.
