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.

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.

In this webinar, we will review installation techniques for the four major applications of the GEOWEB® geocells: Load Support, Slope Protection, Channel Armoring, and Earth Retention. We will offer professional tips and best practices to streamline your installation process, saving you both time and money. This intermediate-level webinar is designed for those who already have some experience with the GEOWEB system and are looking to enhance their knowledge of the installation process; however, all are welcome to attend.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the benefits of geocellular confinement for the major applications of the GEOWEB® geocells, including Load Support, Slope Protection, Channel Armoring, and Earth Retention.
• Gain valuable insights into the most effective installation techniques for the GEOWEB System utilizing our integral ATRA® accessories.
• Learn how to how to properly train contractors prior to installation, setting them up for success and ensuring the best possible outcome for your project.
