Emergency Vehicle Access Road at St. Louis Hospital
In early 2022, Mercy Hospital began construction on a new facility in St. Louis, Missouri. The project’s engineer and owners needed to build a fire lane access road that could support the weight of fire trucks and allow them to get close to the building for other emergencies. Another concern was finding a way to limit the stormwater runoff since the parking lots were made of concrete.

GEOPAVE Gravel Porous Parking Lot Addresses Flooding Concerns
Given the brewery’s location in a floodplain area, the goal was to create a porous parking system capable of withstanding potential flooding or intense rain events. Additionally, the parking area needed to accommodate significant traffic flows, necessitating a system robust enough to handle heavy usage. For the final design, the owners prioritized aesthetic appeal, opting for the most visually pleasing pavers that could incorporate handicap delineators.

Introduction to the GEOWEB MSE Wall Design Software For Vegetated and Non-Vegetated Retaining Walls Presented by Bryan Wedin, P.E.
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.

GEOWEB® Geocells Channel Protection Q&A: Real-World Performance Results, Testing Insights & Design Applications
Stormwater Channel Design Q&A: How to Build Resilient, Cost-Effective Channels with GEOWEB® Geocells
Designing Resilient & Cost-Effective Stormwater Channels Presented by Sam Justice, P.E.
Learn how the GEOWEB® Channel Protection System offers an innovative solution to channel erosion. High-flow environments pose a risk of soil and rock washout, leading to uncontrolled water flow and landscape degradation. Traditional methods like riprap and concrete are often costly and labor-intensive. The GEOWEB system presents a versatile alternative, adaptable to a range of infill materials that cater to both functional requirements and aesthetic preferences, effectively countering hydraulic stresses.
Discover the economic and installation benefits of the GEOWEB system. Its design versatility accommodates low to high flow conditions, ensuring stability across various erosive scenarios. By allowing the use of local materials and negating the necessity for internal reinforcements, the GEOWEB system reduces overall costs and simplifies installation. The system is engineered to sustain high-velocity water flow and is particularly efficient in energy dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining integrity on steep gradients.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the benefits of GEOWEB channel protection from accredited research and testing.
- Learn how the GEOWEB confinement system can accommodate typical construction issues and design problems.
- Understand the typical applications for GEOWEB channel protection and how to utilize on-site materials.
- Learn how to apply GEOWEB confinement to control high flow situations and energy dissipation requirements.
