Cellular Confinement Systems
Geoweb
Geoweb
is a lightweight, flexible mat made of high density polyethylene strips.
These strips are ultrasonically bonded together to form an extremely
strong, honeycomb configuration. A variety of fill materials can be
placed within the Geoweb Cellular Confinement System: soil, sand,
aggregate, concrete, etc. The use of Geoweb and the appropriate fill
material create numerous opportunities for versatile and economical
solutions for many applications including:
Geoweb is available in
various heights, cell sizes and solid wall or perforated (to allow flow
between cells). Holes can be made in Geoweb Cellular Confinement
Systems to facilitate a tendoning system for some applications.
Geoblock Porous Pavement System
Support your loads while
maintaining the natural beauty of grass areas...from walkways to fire
emergency access lanes. Porous pavement systems are the ideal paving
solution in traffic areas where aesthetics and permeability are desired.
Gabions and Reno Mattresses
Gabions are double
twisted hexagonal woven galvanized steel wire mesh compartmented baskets
with a rectangular box shape. The compartments or cells are of equal
size and dimension and are formed by internal diaphragms being placed
within the basket. The compartments or cells are filled with natural
stone and the diaphragms minimize stone migration within the basket
providing even distribution of the stone fill throughout the basket even
after structural movement.
Reno Mattress is a double
twisted hexagonal woven galvanized steel wire mesh compartmented basket
with a rectangular mattress shape. The compartment or cells of the reno
mattress are of equal size and dimension and are formed by internal
diaphragms being placed within the basket providing even distribution of
the stone fill throughout the mattress even after structural movement.
Even distribution of the stone fill ensures that the reno mattress
maintains intimate contact with the foundation soil.
Rock Fall Mesh
Terra Aqua
High-Resistance Netting is ideally suited for difficult solutions to
rock face problems, since the double-twist, hexagonal-woven mesh does
not unravel when wires abrade. Fractured stones are trapped and confined
against the slope should isolated wires fatigue from prolonged stress. Additionally, this double-twisted hexagonal type of netting has the high
mechanical resistance required to prevent the danger of sudden rock
shock loads and dissipate rock fall energy created from loose fractured
rock.
In times past, the danger
represented by falling rocks and by rocky debris from slopes overhanging
the road side was not given the requisite consideration. Land was not at
the premium it is today since traffic volume and patterns have changed
drastically. In recent years, however, the widening of existing roads
and the opening of new roads and highways must accommodate modern
transportation demands. For this reason we are faced with the problems
of protecting the road side from rock slides in a safe and efficient
manner.
The High-Resistance
Rock-Shield Netting with the double-twist mesh has solved this problem,
and is now being used extensively across the United States.
The main advantages over
other types of mesh are the features of flexibility, non-raveling
design, superior corrosion resistance and unique mechanical
characteristics.
Available in galvanized
or PVC coated.
ScourStop
ScourStop is a semi-rigid, high-density polyethylene
plastic mat (4 ft X 4 ft X ½ inch) designed with voids throughout the
structure which enable vegetative growth. ScourStop is formulated with
10+ years, UV protection which colors it a dark green. Additionally,
once vegetated, the mat is mostly shielded from the sun and undetectable
– making it a permanent installation.
ScourStop integrates vegetation with modern polymer
material technology to mechanically protect the soil from scour and
erosion until the shear forces have dissipated. This synergy of
mechanical protection
and
vegetation enables this BMP system to
resist
much higher shear stresses and velocities
than vegetation alone or rock rip rap.
