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.

GEOWEB Geocells - Designing & Building Long-Lasting Roads
Building longer-lasting roads is all about keeping subgrade and subbase materials stable even in challenging site conditions.
Under pavements, designing a strong, stable base that resists movement has a powerful effect on reducing maintenance and stopping the deterioration that ultimately causes pavements to fail.
The best way to do this is with the GEOWEB® (Geocells) soil stabilization system, especially when dealing with soft subgrades.
The 3D confinement delivers higher performance and offers adaptability with varying fill materials, subgrades and loading stresses—fill and base materials are safely contained in the geocellular structure—and highly resistant to movement.

Flood Impact Reduction & Streambank Repair Using the GEOWEB Vegetated Channel System
Spy Run Creek in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is a 10-mile watercourse that drains several square miles on the northwest side of Fort Wayne. Spy Run Creek empties into the St. Mary’s River in downtown Fort Wayne, just upstream from its confluence with the St. Joseph River. The St. Mary’s and the St. Joseph rivers join to create the Maumee River, which flows northeasterly into northwestern Ohio and Lake Erie.
The main focus of the project was to reduce flooding in the Upper Spy Run Watershed and, more specifically, the Interstate Business Park located between Interstate 69 and Coliseum Boulevard.
