Walls & Slopes Webinar

Designing Retaining Walls & Reinforced Slopes Presented by Sam Justice, P.E.

The GEOWEB® Retaining Wall System delivers exceptional versatility and performance. Unlike rigid mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall systems, GEOWEB walls adapt to soft soil environments, seismic conditions, and differential settlement, while conforming naturally to landscape contours. They can be constructed as gravity walls, reinforced walls, or even reinforced slopes and the flexible nature of the system typically installs 25 – 35% faster than traditional rigid systems. Each wall is manufactured from virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE), ensuring long-term resistance to environmental degradation.

GEOWEB walls feature horizontal terraces with exposed fascia cells that can be filled with topsoil to support sustainable vegetation and promote stormwater infiltration. Where vegetation is not desired, aggregate or concrete infill can be used to enhance durability and provide additional protection.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the differences between GEOWEB Retaining Walls and reinforced slopes.
  • Explore GEOWEB gravity and reinforced wall systems, including real-world project case studies.
  • Identify the unique features and benefits that set GEOWEB Retaining Walls apart from other wall types.
  • Gain insight into the design principles for GEOWEB systems across various wall types, reinforcement options, applications, and site conditions.
  • Learn how to use GEOWEB MSE, a free design software provided by Presto Geosystems, for walls and reinforced slopes.

Extreme Weather Webinar

Building Infrastructure Resilience Against Extreme Weather Events Using Geocells Presented by Sam Justice, P.E.

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.

Mining Webinar

Unlocking the Power of Geocells: VE Solutions for Mine Infrastructure Presented by JP George

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.

Unpaved Roads On-Demand Webinar

Extend the Life of Unpaved & Paved Roadways with Geocells Presented by Sam Justice, P.E.

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.

GEOWEB Soil Stabilization System for Solar Farm Site Access Road

Featured Project: 
Brandywine Solar Farm Permeable Site Access Road

The Challenge:
The project owner, Vanguard Energy, required a site access solution to allow safe, long-term access for maintenance and emergency-vehicle access. While traffic would be infrequent, the roadway needed to support up to a 70,000-pound fire truck.

To achieve this, they decided to build a permeable site-access road utilizing a soil stabilization system that would adhere to permitting requirements and support the weight of heavy vehicles.

The Solution:
Vanguard Energy reached out to Presto Geosystems and local material supplier, Colonial Construction Materials, to devise a solution that would meet their needs. They chose the GEOWEB® Load Support System with a vegetated infill to construct the permeable access road into the solar farm.

Truck Parking Lots

Building Long-Lasting Commercial Truck Parking Lots Using GEOWEB Geocells Presented by Bryan Wedin, P.E.

Commercial truck parking lots face some of the harshest conditions in pavement design: heavy loads, long dwell times, constant turning, and soft subgrades. Traditional asphalt and aggregate designs often fail early, creating costly repairs, downtime, and stormwater challenges.

In this webinar, Bryan Wedin, P.E., Chief Civil Engineer at Presto Geosystems, will explain how the GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System delivers long-term performance for paved and unpaved truck parking lots. Originally developed with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the GEOWEB geosynthetic system has been proven worldwide for more than 40 years in ports, distribution centers, and other heavy-duty applications.

Attendees will learn how the 3D honeycomb structure reinforces the base layer, reduces pavement and base depth requirements, and creates stable, resilient truck parking areas that drain better and last longer.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify common causes of premature failure in commercial truck parking lots and how they impact long-term maintenance costs.
  • Understand how GEOWEB® geocells function as a geosynthetic soil stabilization system that confines aggregate and distributes heavy truck loads.
  • Compare performance and cost benefits of geocell-reinforced bases versus traditional pavement and aggregate designs.
  • Evaluate design options for permeable and impermeable truck parking lots that address stormwater management requirements.
  • Apply lessons from real-world projects in ports, distribution centers, and truck parking facilities to future designs.

StarGate Movie Uses the GEOWEB Geocells

GEOWEB System’s Big-Screen Debut

The GEOWEB system made its Hollywood debut in the 1994 sci-fi action-adventure movie, Stargate. To serve as the desert landscape in the film, filmmakers chose the barren setting surrounding Yuma, Arizona. However, very loose sands at the film location made transportation around the site virtually impossible. Crews used the GEOWEB system to create an “instant road,” using on-site sand as the infill, that allowed vehicles and heavy equipment to move around the desert with no rutting or loss of traction.

Director Roland Emmerich stated, “We never would have been able to move around the desert without [GEOWEB].”
