Cheap driveway reinforcing ideas

[Jilly]

On a seriously tight budget, possibly false economy, but the builder dug out the drive entrance to and put 6 tones of what was supposed to be type 3 MOT  (but seems to have an awful lot of fines) over a geotextile from Buildbase. The first big delivery has torn the membrane and clay is now mushing through. The builder suggested putting rebar mesh under another delivery of aggregate as a cheap solution, but people seem a bit horrified at that suggestion if it's not going in concrete, which is my reaction to (?rust etc?). 

 

The grids from local companies don't seem strong enough for big trucks but fine for normal vehicles. Not sure whether to chance it as the ones specified for trucks are very expensive. 

 

The drive is meant to be permeable, so the simple solution of concrete round the rebar might not be acceptable.

 

Does anyone have any cheap ideas which will be hidden under the future pavers and clay please?
