Trails and greenways play a vital role in communities by preserving and creating open spaces for low or no-cost outdoor recreation. Trails designed with permeable surfaces rather than traditional concrete or asphalt allow for better environmental and stormwater management. Since recreational trails can be designed for a wide range of uses, including motorized and non-motorized traffic, it’s important to utilize a solution that is durable and flexible. In this webinar, we will explore a variety of soil stabilization and porous pavement products that can be tailored to the needs of individual projects—including those with hard-to-access areas and stormwater concerns. Multiple types of infill and anchoring methods allow for project customization, resulting in low-maintenance and attractive trails for years to come. Trail embankment stabilization is another consideration when designing recreational trails. The embankments may be part of the existing natural terrain or result from cuts made to accommodate the construction of the new trails. Depending on embankment steepness, the GEOWEB® 3D system can be used to stabilize slopes with single-layer protection or near-vertical, tiered retaining walls with a vegetated fascia. GEOWEB green slopes and walls protect against erosion, reduce stormwater runoff, and create a natural environment for sustainable vegetation. Learning Objectives:… Read more »
Infrastructure development for highways and road corridors faces many challenges when it comes to project design and construction. Building asphalt or concrete roadways over soft soils requires thick base layers of expensive stone, and pavement surfaces often fail just a few years after installation. Expanding road width requires steepening corridor embankments, leading to potential slope failure that can cause road closures and damage. Stormwater management alongside roads is an increasingly common concern due to limited construction space and larger storm events. Presto Geosystems provides cost-effective, low-maintenance, quality solutions for all of these potential issues using our GEOWEB® 3D Soil Stabilization System. In this webinar, we will discuss how to utilize these solutions to address the challenges of aging infrastructure. Learning Objectives: Acquire insights into the innovative methods through which Presto Geosystems’ products can provide enduring stability solutions for roadways and their surrounding environments. Comprehend the performance of geocells under the most challenging soil conditions. Explore various geocell applications and understand their potential usage within roadway corridors. Learn how to employ geocells for effective stormwater runoff management alongside roads, thereby extending pavement lifespan
When paved and unpaved roadway surfaces are built over weak subgrades, base deterioration can lead to degradation. This causes unwanted deflections, rutting, and cracking in the surface layer. Using the GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System reduces the vertical pressure on roadways and provides a high-stiffness foundation. This increases the load capacity of the subgrade allowing it to more effectively handle heavy and repeated vehicle leads. In the base layer under hard pavements, confinement of aggregate significantly reduces movement and settlement, increasing the life of the pavement. Unpaved roadways also benefit from a more stable surface that performs as an on-site stormwater “detention” basin, promoting infiltration at the source and reducing runoff. Learning Objectives: Understand the benefits of using the GEOWEB Soil Stabilization System to stabilize surfaces for unpaved roads using low-quality fill. Discover how 3D-confined base material reduces cross-section and provides a more stable base, especially over soft subgrade soils. Learn how the GEOWEB system reduces vertical pressure and subbase movement. Learn how to design pavement that will help meet on-site stormwater regulations and low environmental impact goals.
Stormwater management continues to be a critical concern due to increasingly stringent regulations. Retaining stormwater on-site is the preferred method, but traditional solutions like retention or detention ponds can be expensive, require significant maintenance, and take up valuable land. An innovative alternative is reducing the amount of impermeable surface on the site. One way to achieve this is through the use of hard-surface porous pavements made of asphalt and concrete, which can be expensive and time-consuming to install. However, rigid and flexible plastic porous pavement systems offer a low-cost and easy-to-install alternative that can handle demanding load requirements. For example, Presto Geosystems’ porous pavers can be filled with either vegetation or aggregate to meet your project needs. In this webinar, we will delve deeper into the benefits of using porous pavement systems for stormwater management. Our expert presenter will discuss how these systems work, their durability and cost-effectiveness, and the various infill options available. We will also provide examples of successful projects that have implemented this innovative solution. Learning Objectives: Identify the key design principles and sustainability benefits of porous pavement systems for stormwater management. Evaluate the performance of rigid and flexible porous pavements under different infill materials and traffic-loading… Read more »
Earthen slopes are naturally susceptible to erosion due to gravity, water, and surcharge loads. Slope failure can lead to unsightly conditions, landscape and property damage, and costly repairs. The GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System protects soil slopes against these erosive forces. Even extremely steep or tall slopes can be secured with the GEOWEB system. Multiple types of infill and anchoring methods allow for project customization, resulting in a low-maintenance and attractive slope for years to come.

The constant weight of parked trailers, stacked containers, and heavy traffic patterns can cause your intermodal or port facility yard’s surface and subbase materials to degrade. This instability of the base materials causes rutting, potholes, and even pavement failure. These surface problems can require costly maintenance, and significant interruption of facility operations, as well as create a loss of income from usable space. The GEOWEB® system reduces the vertical pressure and provides a high-stiffness foundation, increasing the load capacity of the subgrade to more effectively handle heavy reach stackers and container loads. In the base layer under hard pavements, confinement of aggregate significantly reduces movement, lateral heave, and settlement for increased pavement life. For unpaved surfaces, the GEOWEB system solves surface stability problems with less aggregate and less maintenance even allowing sand or on-site, lower quality aggregate to be used as infill. Learning Objectives: Understand the benefits of using the GEOWEB 3D Soil Stabilization System on surfaces and pavements. Learn how the GEOWEB system reduces vertical pressure and subbase movement. Understand how the GEOWEB system can reduce pavement depths. Learn how the GEOWEB confinement system extends pavement life and reduces maintenance.
