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:
-
GROUND
STABILIZATION
-
SLOPE EROSION
CONTROL
-
RETAINING
WALLS
-
STREAM CROSSING
-
CHANNEL EROSION
CONTROL
-
EMBANKMENTS
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.
