A temporary car park is frequently required by car and truck manufacturers for up to 20,000 new vehicles prior to shipping to distributors. Vehicles should remain clean and undamaged. Rather than pave large areas, and for economy, manufacturers have typically leased large fields. To preclude having to clean vehicles and to tow them when stuck in mud it was thought that a geocomposite product could be used to provide a clean temporary traffic/parking surface. A few installations have been made using a conventional geotextile/geonet/geotextile composite. Nonwoven geotextiles were made with UV resistant flame retardant polypropylene (PP) fibers. Joints were made by thermally welding the overlapping geotextiles.
