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.

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.

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.
