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.

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.

Introduction to the GEOWEB MSE Wall Design Software For Vegetated and Non-Vegetated Retaining Walls Presented by Bryan Wedin, P.E.
Presto Geosystems provides its GEOWEB® MSE Wall Design Software free of charge for designing both gravity and reinforced wall applications. This tool enables the creation of vegetated and non-vegetated MSE structures, drawing on the GEOWEB System inputs for reinforced slopes, gravity walls, and geogrid-reinforced walls. The software employs industry-standard design methods and includes specific algorithms that account for the unique interaction between the GEOWEB System, retained soil, foundation, and reinforced soil, incorporating particular safety factors and, where necessary, geogrid reinforcement.
This webinar will provide an in-depth tour of the MSE Wall Design Software. You will learn how to navigate the software and input simple data to create a full-graphic design analysis and cross-sectional drawing.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- About the different types of retaining wall systems possible with the GEOWEB system.
- How the MSE Wall Design Software functions and the supporting design theory.
- How the software performs an analysis with simple data input screens for both gravity and reinforced systems.
- About real-world applications through an overview of case studies.

Designing Resilient & Cost-Effective Stormwater Channels Presented by Sam Justice, P.E.
Learn how the GEOWEB® Channel Protection System offers an innovative solution to channel erosion. High-flow environments pose a risk of soil and rock washout, leading to uncontrolled water flow and landscape degradation. Traditional methods like riprap and concrete are often costly and labor-intensive. The GEOWEB system presents a versatile alternative, adaptable to a range of infill materials that cater to both functional requirements and aesthetic preferences, effectively countering hydraulic stresses.
Discover the economic and installation benefits of the GEOWEB system. Its design versatility accommodates low to high flow conditions, ensuring stability across various erosive scenarios. By allowing the use of local materials and negating the necessity for internal reinforcements, the GEOWEB system reduces overall costs and simplifies installation. The system is engineered to sustain high-velocity water flow and is particularly efficient in energy dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining integrity on steep gradients.
