Dams
Stabilize Earthen Dams with the GEOWEB® System
Protect Dam Slopes, Embankments, and Spillways with 3D Geocells
Earthen dams and levees face serious challenges from erosion, seepage, and structural instability, especially during severe weather events. The GEOWEB® 3D Soil Stabilization System offers reliable protection for these critical structures. By confining infill within its interconnected cells, the system reinforces slopes, embankments, and spillways to control runoff, reduce erosion, and minimize long-term maintenance.
Compared to traditional riprap or concrete, the GEOWEB system is faster to install, more flexible, and highly adaptable. It supports a range of infill types, including topsoil and vegetation, aggregate, or concrete. The system performs well over soft subgrades and in remote locations.
Applications for Dams & Spillways
GEOWEB® geocells help stabilize and protect dam embankments, spillways, channels, and access areas exposed to erosion, runoff, and challenging soil conditions. The 3D geocell system confines infill to improve surface stability, control erosion, and support long-term performance with vegetated, aggregate, or concrete infill options. From slope protection to channel armoring and maintenance access, the GEOWEB system provides cost-effective solutions for demanding dam infrastructure applications.
Earthen Dams
Protect dam slopes with GEOWEB® 3D geocells, reduce erosion, reinforce embankments, and extend service life.
Spillway Management
Stabilize spillways, overflow channels, and emergency flow paths with GEOWEB® geocells designed to help control erosion, scour, and washouts with vege
Irrigation Channels & Canals
GEOWEB® dikes and levees create earthen barriers to prevent flooding onto adjoining land.
Benefits of the GEOWEB System
- Reduces erosion on dam slopes with a stable, reinforced surface
- Performs in saturated and weak soils without shifting or failing
- Supports vegetated or hard-armored designs using soil, stone, or concrete
- Minimizes maintenance and extends the service life of the structure
- Speeds up installation and reduces equipment needs
- Offers cost-effective protection with lower material and labor costs
