Slope stabilization for erosion control on steep landscape planting slope
August 7th, 2024
Information contributed by Presto Geosystems Oyster Point, a prominent development area in South San Francisco, Calif., experienced significant erosion on a recently constructed landscape planting slope during heavy storms. Despite initial efforts to stabilize the slope with vegetation, surface runoff compromised the slope’s integrity. The primary challenge was the steep 2H:1V slope, which was highly […]

Erosion control is a critical challenge in environmental engineering, especially in areas where construction and landscaping alter the natural terrain. Geocell technology has emerged as an innovative solution to this problem. Geocells are three-dimensional, […]
GEOWEB Slope Protection System provides transmission line stabilization solution
June 1st, 2023
The GEOWEB® Soil Stabilization System (geocells) provides vegetated slope protection solution for three Appalachian Mountain transmission towers. Transmission lines are integral to supplying power to homes and businesses throughout the country. Confronted with variable terrains, geohazards, and other site complications, transmission line construction projects must contend with a wide range of complexities, including the extreme […]
