When extreme weather events occur, communities are often left to grapple with the devastating effects. An increase in extreme weather patterns, coupled with aging or inadequate infrastructure, amplifies the often dangerous and costly damage that ensues—especially for vulnerable communities living in low-lying areas.

In this webinar, we will discuss how to incorporate GEOWEB® geocells into projects to create climate-resistant infrastructure in load support, slope stabilization, channel protection, and retaining wall applications. The discussion will include solutions for an array of industries, including energy, transportation, and stormwater management. Project case studies will show how this advanced geosynthetic technology can be used for rebuilding storm-ravaged roads, repairing and stabilizing channel embankments, and preventing flooding after extreme weather events.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain an understanding of the innovative ways the GEOWEB® geocells can provide permanent stabilization solutions for a variety of applications.
• Understand how geocells perform in the most challenging soil conditions.
• Learn about projects using the GEOWEB® geocells to improve infrastructure resilience.
• Learn how the GEOWEB® geocells can help manage stormwater and mitigate flooding.

In this webinar, we will explore solutions to a number of challenges faced by the mining industry. We will discuss how the GEOWEB®  3D Soil Stabilization System offers a better approach to soil stabilization challenges when accessing sites over soft ground; controlling and containing stormwater; protecting geomembranes from basins, tailing, and heap leach pads; and reclaiming slopes at the time of closure.

Through 3D confinement and by strengthening the fill, less material is required and waste rock can be used on site. The GEOWEB system offers improvements in operation, maintenance, installation and safety at a lower total cost, giving your mine site some powerful Value Engineering solutions.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the benefits of geocellular confinement for high-performing, long-lasting mine infrastructure.
• Explore mine applications for geocells in haul road, slope, channel, and containment pond solutions.
• Learn how 3D geocellular confinement can produce higher performance and lower maintenance mine site solutions.

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 loads.

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 pavements that will help meet on-site stormwater regulations and low environmental impact goals.
