Tensar Launches SpectraPave mobile application for engineers and contractors

ATLANTA – Tensar International Corporation, the leader in geosynthetic soil reinforcement and stabilization, today announced the launch of the new SpectraPave mobile application.

The SpectraPave mobile application allows users in the field to quickly and accurately determine aggregate savings with the use of TriAx® Geogrid (TX140/TX160) for subgrade stabilization projects. The SpectraPave mobile application can be accessed with Internet connected devices on demand, at any time and from anywhere in the world.

“The launch of the TensarConnect platform and the release of the SpectraPave mobile application is a major industry innovation, as it is the first platform approach and mobile application of its kind in the world for engineering professionals,” said Matt Wayne, President and CEO of Audience Generation, a leading digital agency and mobile application developer that worked with Tensar on design, concept development and delivery.

The SpectraPave mobile application is a component of the TensarConnectTM platform, a new digital channel that enables engineering professionals and contractors to connect with Tensar, its products, and its sales and support teams on demand. The SpectraPave mobile application is the first mobile solution to be released through the TensarConnectTM platform.

The TensarConnect platform and SpectraPave mobile application can be accessed on any java enabled smart phone mobile device including the iPhone, BlackBerry and Google Android. Customers can also easily access and use the mobile platform on their tablet, PC, laptop or desktop computer.

“The SpectraPave mobile application is the first mobile application of its kind,” said Joe Cavanaugh, Tensar Vice President of Technology. “Tensar is excited about our new, innovative and user-friendly approach to serving our customers digitally and enabling them to connect with our organization and products on demand. The SpectraPave mobile application enables engineers and contractors in the field to easily evaluate requirements, order material and manage projects. They can connect with a local Tensar representative on demand via text, email or phone at any time.”

The SpectraPave mobile application can make purchasing TriAx® Geogrid simple and seamless. After inputting the project metrics, the application generates an analysis summary for the project and instantly provides the user with contact information for the appropriate sales representative based on project location.

A tentative project summary is created in PDF format, available to both the engineer and the Tensar technical representative. This can be saved and accessed by logging into the user’s personalized Tensar account. When the analysis is finalized, users can view the report from any Internet-connected device, or from any computer or phone browser via bluetoothTM connection.

If site conditions change, the initial analysis can be viewed while in the field and a new analysis performed to determine the required amount of aggregate for the new conditions. The SpectraPave mobile application provides immediate time and cost savings to customers. TriAx® Geogrid has been shown to save project managers up to 50 percent in construction costs on unpaved roadway projects, and the mobile application can potentially help to save even more in costs, in addition to time with its easy to use, on demand project generation and costing features.

The TensarConnect platform will continue to evolve and bring new and exciting ways to connect with Tensar, including access to a robust and wide variety of mobile engineering applications. Please visit www.tensarconnect.com to learn more and start your connection with Tensar today.
