Reinforce stormwater channels to help control erosion, scour, and washout.
Stormwater channels, drainage swales, and conveyance areas are exposed to erosive flows during storm events. Without proper protection, channel beds and side slopes can experience scour, soil loss, infill displacement, and long-term instability.
The GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System reinforces channel beds and side slopes by confining infill within a 3D cellular structure. The GEOWEB system helps maintain channel geometry, resist washout, and support long-term performance with vegetation, aggregate, or concrete infill.
Compared to riprap, gabions, or rigid concrete systems, GEOWEB channels offer design flexibility to match flow conditions and project goals. Vegetated systems can support low or intermittent flow applications, while aggregate or concrete infill can provide stronger protection for moderate to higher-flow channels.
Key Benefits
- Confines infill to help resist erosion, scour, and washout
- Helps maintain channel geometry during storm events
- Supports vegetated, aggregate, or concrete infill designs
- May reduce rock size requirements compared to riprap
- Accommodates minor settlement with flexible protection
- Supports green infrastructure and stormwater management goals
- Installs efficiently compared to rigid channel systems
Common Applications
- Drainage swales for low or intermittent flow
- Stormwater channels for moderate to high-flow conditions
- Roadside and median drainage channels
- Tiered systems for steep grades or variable flows
- Access road drainage channels
- Stormwater facility conveyance channels
