Geoweb® Channel Protection System

ECONOMICAL & SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR STABILIZING CHANNELS

Stabilize soils and prevent erosion on channel embankments exposed to low-to-high flows. Protect geomembrane-lined channels and containment systems. Eliminate the need for costly rip rap in drainage ditches and stormwater swales.

The Presto Geoweb^® Channel Protection System is a proven solution for stabilizing and protecting channels exposed to erosive conditions of all types. Whether low or high flows, intermittent or continuous, the Geoweb system can be designed to withstand even the highest velocities. Up to 30 ft/sec (9m/sec) with vegetation. Learn How).

Channel Options:

• Vegetated Protection: Replaces costly, higher-maintenancerip rap with lower-maintenance, less expensive stabilized vegetation. Effective in low-flow channels and when low-to-high intermittent flows occur. Combined with a TRM, the vegetated Geoweb system can withstand velocities as high as 30 ft/sec (9m/sec).* Ideal for drainage ditches, swales and stormwater channels. *CSU Research Results
• Aggregate Protection: Aggregate confined in the Geoweb system is more stable than unconfined aggregate. That means smaller, less expensive infill can be used in low-to-moderate flow conditions. * CSU Research Results
• Concrete Hard-Armor Protection: For channels exposed to severe hydraulic stresses, the Geoweb system's formwork allows concrete to be poured on-site. It creates an easy-to-install, flexible hard-armored system that is less costly than pre-formed concrete systems.
• Multi-Layered Protection: Geoweb multi-layered, vegetated channels create natural living retaining walls that can withstand high flows for short durations. Their overall light weight tolerates reasonable differential settlement in soft soils while maintaining structural integrity. A steeper channel profile saves cost by reducing land use. Quicker and easier to install than typical block systems.
• Geomembrane Protection: The Geoweb system is a proven solution for protecting liners and reducing the sliding potential of infill cover. High-strength tendons become part of the design solution that Presto offers.
