💧 GEOWEB® Geocells for Erosion Control & Vegetation Can exposed sidewalls on an erosion control wall be finished with rock or other materials? Yes. It’s common to cover exposed sidewalls with rock or other finishes. In many cases, riprap is placed at the base to protect against scour, especially in areas with water flow. What happens when vegetation goes dormant in winter? Does erosion increase? Great question. Effective erosion control accounts for seasonal variability by incorporating erosion control blankets or turf reinforcement mats that are selected and sized based on site-specific hydraulic conditions and anticipated velocities. By working closely with erosion control manufacturers and relying on proven design methodologies, these systems maintain soil stability and erosion resistance year-round, ensuring performance even when vegetation is inactive. 🚧 GEOWEB Geocells: Construction & Maintenance If used in road construction, how do you repair a geocell system? Repairs are straightforward and similar to other planar geosynthetics (e.g., geogrids, geotextiles) systems: Excavate down to the GEOWEB geocell layer to expose the affected area. Cut the material using a concrete or pipe saw to allow access. Perform the repair (e.g., pipe replacement). Patch the system with the new GEOWEB geocell and geotextile material.
