Soil Stabilization System

GEOWEB® retaining walls are permeable, low environ-

mental impact solutions for naturally-vegetated steep-

ened slopes, reinforced and gravity wall systems.

Local fill materials virtually

eliminate need for quarried

and processed resources

required by concrete/

modular block MSE wall sys-

tems.

Permeable & open-celled

vegetated wall face infil-

trates/filters surface runoff

from hard pavements—

keeping pollutants out of the

waterways.

Inert material will not leach

or breakdown, keeping harm-

ful materials from entering

waterways.

Energy Use Resource Savings Water Benefit Land Use

Near vertical system allows

embankments to be de-

signed steeper—reducing

horizontal land footprint.

Light-weight design allows

wall system to tolerate

reasonable differential

settlement in soft soil envi-

ronments without over

excavation for footings.

GEOWEB® Walls Sustainable Environmental Contributions The benefits of designing GEOWEB® retaining walls for

sustainable, green building initiatives including Low

Impact Development (LID) and Green Infrastructure

(GI) are noted below.

Vegetated walls in a built

environment are cooler

alternatives than concrete

block wall systems—

reducing the negative heat

island effect.

Vegetated tiered walls ship

in compact bundles com-

pared to higher volume MSE

wall systems—less delivery

emissions.
