Infrastructure development for highways and road corridors faces many challenges when it comes to project design and construction. Building asphalt or concrete roadways over soft soils requires thick base layers of expensive stone, and pavement surfaces often fail just a few years after installation. Expanding road width requires steepening corridor embankments, leading to potential slope failure that can cause road closures and damage. Stormwater management alongside roads is an increasingly common concern due to limited construction space and larger storm events.

Presto Geosystems provides cost-effective, low-maintenance, quality solutions for all of these potential issues using our GEOWEB® 3D Soil Stabilization System. In this webinar, we will discuss how to utilize these solutions to address the challenges of aging infrastructure.

Learning Objectives:

• Acquire insights into the innovative methods through which Presto Geosystems’ products can provide enduring stability solutions for roadways and their surrounding environments.
• Comprehend the performance of geocells under the most challenging soil conditions.
• Explore various geocell applications and understand their potential usage within roadway corridors.
• Learn how to employ geocells for effective stormwater runoff management alongside roads, thereby extending pavement lifespan.

When unpaved roads, drill pads, and work platforms are constructed over weak subgrades, base deterioration can lead to degradation. This degradation leads to unwanted deflections, rutting, and ultimately failure of the surface layer. The GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System significantly reduces the vertical pressure reaching the subgrade, provides a high-stiffness foundation and reduces cross-section thickness up to 50% or more. Increasing the load capacity of the subgrade allows it to effectively handle heavy vehicle and drill rig loads while reducing maintenance cost.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the benefits of using the GEOWEB Soil Stabilization System to stabilize surfaces for unpaved roads, drill pads, and work platforms using low-quality fill or sand.
• Discover how 3D-confined base material reduces cross-section depth and provides a more stable base, especially over soft subgrade soils.
• Learn how the GEOWEB system reduces vertical pressure and subbase movement.
• Learn how the GEOWEB system performs effectively when subject to heavy vehicle and drill rig loadings.

As infrastructure demands grow and environmental pressures increase, preserving the stability of roadway shoulders, ditches, and embankment slopes is essential to maintaining safety, longevity, and environmental protection. These areas are often vulnerable to erosion, structural degradation, and persistent maintenance challenges driven by water runoff, traffic loads, and shifting environmental conditions. Presto Geosystems offers reliable, cost-effective solutions to address these issues through the GEOWEB® 3D Soil Stabilization System. In this webinar, we’ll demonstrate how the GEOWEB System effectively stabilizes and reinforces roadway shoulders, drainage ditches, and embankment slopes. 

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the benefits of using the GEOWEB Soil Stabilization System to stabilize roadway shoulders using various infill materials.
• Learn how 3D-confined base materials minimize shoulder depth and enhance shoulder stability, particularly in soft soil conditions.
• Understand the causes of erosion in roadway ditches and slopes, how they lead to failure, and how the GEOWEB system protects against erosive forces, supported by accredited research and testing from the Colorado State University Hydraulics Lab.
• Discover the versatility of the GEOWEB system, which adapts to various infill materials, construction conditions, and complex design requirements.
• Identify common applications of the GEOWEB systems for effective roadway shoulders, ditches and embankment slopes in diverse environments.
• Learn how to implement GEOWEB confinement solutions to manage various flow conditions and meet energy dissipation needs.
