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.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the causes of slope surface erosion and how they lead to slope failure.
• Learn how the GEOWEB system can protect slopes against erosive forces.
• Learn how to apply GEOWEB Slope Protection Systems in a variety of project conditions.
• Know when the GEOWEB system is applicable, even on very steep slopes.

Coastlines can range from tranquil ponds and lazy streams to raging rivers and heavy-use lakes, all the way to ocean coastlines with constant wave action. All this water movement wreaks havoc on shoreline soils, constantly eroding riverbanks and beaches. This erosion overly steepens these slopes, leading to potential slides or other mass movement. And it threatens to undermine nearby roads, building foundations, or other infrastructure.

In this webinar, we will discuss how to incorporate the GEOWEB® Shoreline Stabilization System to help reduce shoreline and coastline erosion. The discussion will cover both main application types the GEOWEB system is suited for, including surficial erosion control and global stability. Different infill materials, such as vegetation, gravel, and concrete, can support erosion reduction in different ways, and address heavy wave action or other variable water flow conditions.

Additionally, project case studies will highlight the flexible nature of the GEOWEB system, and the ease with which it incorporates the surrounding environment and infrastructure, including supporting accessible walkway and drivable boat launches. We will show the GEOWEB geocells can be used to protect coastlines and shoreline from ever changing conditions.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain an understanding of the innovative ways the GEOWEB geocells can provide significant erosion control along shorelines and coastlines.
• Learn how the flexible GEOWEB panels can incorporate natural site conditions for a more aesthetic appeal.
• Learn about projects using GEOWEB geocells with varying water conditions, including coastal wave action.
• Get tools and tips for how Presto Geosystems can help complete plan sets, bid packages, and specifying documents.

Join Presto Geosystems for a research-driven webinar showcasing the hydraulic performance of the GEOWEB® Channel Protection System. Based on accredited testing conducted at the Colorado State University Hydraulics Lab, this session highlights how the GEOWEB system performs in high-flow, steep-slope environments and offers a sustainable alternative to traditional hard armoring methods.

Learning Objectives

• Explore the proven advantages of GEOWEB-confined channel and slope protection, backed by accredited research and testing from the Colorado State University Hydraulics Lab.
• Discover the versatility of the GEOWEB confinement system, which adapts to various infill materials, construction conditions, and complex design requirements.
• Identify common applications of GEOWEB for effective channel and slope protection in diverse environments.
• Learn how to implement GEOWEB confinement solutions to manage various flow conditions and meet energy dissipation needs.

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.
