Geoweb system offers various and flexible solutions when it comes to protection of open canels and hydrotechnical installations liable to erosion. Depending on acctual conditions and demands system works with different infill material:
- top soil convenient for vegetation development
- different types of crushed stone depending on hydraulical conditions of the river bed or chanals.
- concrete filling used for protection of chanals and protection of bridge abutments
- a combination of materials listed above
Application of this system on the chanal slopes and river banks where vegetation is required is reccomended since the roots pass trough the perforations in horisontal and vertical direction and goes trough the geotextile that is put on the base, which improves the resistance of the protection layer exposed to longer hydraulic influence.
Using the concrete as the infill material turns the system into a relatively flexible concrete materass with dilatation openings, so there is no need for additional works like with traditional methods.
Designing protection structures demands clear defining of maximum water flows and hydraulic loads on the protection structure. Other benificial factors are greater friction angle, hydraulic efficiancy of the protection layer, its easy maintanence and simple cleaning of the created deposit. Reinforcement with perforated Geoweb system fits in perfectly with environmental and aestetic requirements.J
