Geoweb® Load Support System

ECONOMICAL 3D STRUCTURE STABILIZES INFILL MATERIALS

Construct roads over soft soils where quality infill is inaccessible or too costly. Stabilize challenging soft soils where traditional reinforcement methods are ineffective, or require deeper, more costly base materials.

The Presto Geoweb^® Load Support System is a proven cost-effective solution for challenging soil stability problems. The Geoweb system is the original geocell system developed by Presto over 30 years ago for stabilizing sand with heavy loads. Today, the system is economical and highly-effective for solving unacceptable road, parking, and yard surface problems.

The 3D structure stabilizes infill material and controls shearing, lateral and vertical movement of the infill. Confinement may allow use of lower-quality, less costly on-site infill materials and substantial savings are realized with the reduction of base materials. Confined materials increase the effective structural number, allowing fill requirements and costs to be cut in half.

*Research results from research initiatives confirm the Geoweb system reduces the thickness and weight of structural support element by 50% or more, allows the subgrade materials to withstand more than 10 times the number of cyclic-load applications before accumulating the same amount of permanent deflection, provides over 30% stress reduction when supporting aggregate under pavement and distributes load between pilings reducing intersoil stress by 40%.

KEY LOAD SUPPORT AREAS

• Load Distribution System over weak soils
• Base Stabilization for paved surfaces
• Surface Stabilization for unpaved surfaces

LOW-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT SOLUTION

Reduce stormwater runoff and gain environmental Low Impact Development (LID) benefits by infiltrating and storing stormwater on-site. With permeable infill, the Geoweb system saves you the cost of traditional stormwater collection/storage systems by performing as an on-site stormwater retention/detention "basin". Permeable pavements are also eco-friendly, cooler pavements that reduce the heat island effect of traditional hard-surfaced pavements.
