Golf Course Case Study: Eco-Friendly Project

Project Overview

A picturesque golf course in North Carolina faced maintenance challenges due to erosion, unstable surfaces, and heavy usage of its cart paths and parking areas. To address these issues, BaseCore HD 3″ geocell technology was implemented. This involved removing old asphalt, recycling it to level the sub-base, reducing the slope grade, and installing stone-filled geocells for stable cart paths. Excavated soil was used to create a large, flat, permeable parking lot, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.

Project Implementation and Results

The project started with a thorough site assessment and detailed design plans. Key steps included removing old asphalt, deploying and securing geocells, filling them with stone, building a block retaining wall, and applying a final aggregate layer. The geocell system significantly improved soil stability and load-bearing capacity, ensuring the paths and parking lot could handle heavy use and environmental conditions. Additionally, the permeable parking lot design improved stormwater management, reducing runoff and protecting the nearby lake’s water quality.

Project Outcomes and Future Implications

The project achieved durable and stable cart paths, an effective permeable parking lot, and notable cost savings in construction and maintenance. Positive feedback from the golf course management and community highlighted improved usability and aesthetic appeal. The successful use of BaseCore HD 3″ geocell in this project suggests its potential for similar applications in other community and recreational settings, providing a model for sustainable and resilient infrastructure development.
