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.

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.

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.

Ballast degradation occurs quickly under heavy axle loads, especially when track is constructed over weak subgrade soils. This can result in speed restrictions, increased maintenance, and costly downtime. The GEOWEB® Ballast Stabilization System reduces vertical pressure on the subgrade and creates a high-stiffness foundation that improves track stability and performance.

By minimizing aggregate movement, rotation, and settlement, GEOWEB-stabilized ballast significantly extends ballast life and reduces the need for frequent maintenance.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the benefits of GEOWEB-stabilized ballast from accredited research and testing.
• Learn how the GEOWEB stabilization system can reduce vertical ballast pressure and ballast movement.
• Understand the typical applications for GEOWEB ballast stabilization.
• Learn how to apply GEOWEB stabilization to extend rail life and reduce maintenance.
