The Presto Geoweb® system provides a wide variety of economical, flexible protection treatments for open channels and hydraulic structures. The system provides stability and protection of channels exposed to erosive conditions ranging from low-to-high flows, either intermittent or continuous.
- Greatly improves the hydraulic performance of conventional protection materials such as aggregate, rip-rap and topsoil/vegetation by confining them within the cellular structure.
- With concrete infill, produces a flexible slab for a long-lasting armored channel lining at a lower cost than articulating block systems.
- Can be designed for specific site conditions based upon compatibility with local environmental, ecological and aesthetic requirements, maximum anticipated flow conditions, and associated hydraulic stresses.
- Surface roughness and hydraulic efficiency of the lining system can be changed to control flow.
Geoweb® system benefits
Cost-effective structure confines selected infill material to resist anticipated hydraulic flows and associated stresses.
- Supports vegetation in low-to-high intermittent flow channels.
- Allows the use of on-site aggregates in low-to-moderate flow channels, reducing construction costs.
- Provides protection to geomembrane-lined channels and containment systems.
- With concrete infill, provides flexible, inexpensive hard-armored protection against severe high-flow conditions, wave action and associated stresses.
INFILL OPTIONS
A variety of infill materials can be used with the Geoweb® system based upon the requirements of the specific project/problem.
- Topsoil with various selected vegetation.
- Aggregates of varying size and gradation.
- Concrete of various strengths and surface finishes.
- Combinations of the above to meet special conditions.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- swales and drainage ditches
