GEOWEB® Channel Protection

Control Erosion and Manage Flow with a Versatile Channel Solutions

The GEOWEB® Channel Protection System stabilizes channel slopes and beds exposed to intermittent or continuous flows. Flexible infill options, including vegetation, aggregate, and concrete, allow the system to be designed for a wide range of hydraulic and site conditions.

GEOWEB channel systems can reduce the need for riprap, gabions, or articulated concrete blocks while supporting efficient installation, long-term erosion protection, and natural integration into the surrounding landscape.

How the GEOWEB® System Works for Channel Protection

The GEOWEB system forms a 3D honeycomb structure that confines infill and holds it in place even under high shear stress. This confinement protects the soil from being displaced by flowing water and provides resistance to surface erosion and undercutting. The system is effective as a single-layer or multi-layer solution and is compatible with turf reinforcement mats (TRMs) for added protection in vegetated designs.

With proper infill selection and underlayment, GEOWEB channels can withstand flows up to 30 feet per second.
