One of the product's benefits is that
" It allows for use of less aggregate than
normally would be required, " Kaul adds.
" Normally, if they want to do this with
just rock, it would have to be 4 to 8 inches
of riprap. And it would have to be several
feet deep. We used 1 to 2 inches of rock
6 inches deep. So there was a savings on
natural resources and the cost. "
The product has evolved over the
years. " During initial development of the
product between Presto Geosystems and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, there
was only one cell size and one cell depth, "
Schneider says. " GEOWEB geocells are
now available in three different cell sizes
and five different depths. "
The range of cell sizes and depths
allows for the engineers to select the lowest-cost
combination of cell size and cell
depth that will be effective for an application.
The company also has developed
many different installation accessories
for connecting the sections together as
well as anchoring them, which provide
for faster, stronger and safer installations.
Looking forward, sustainability is a
goal. " There is a lot of focus on how geosynthetics
make infrastructure more sustainable, "
Schneider says. " They extend
the service life of roads, reduce the use
of aggregates, conserve and protect water,
minimize land disturbance and control
soil erosion. "
According to Schneider, the ways that
geosynthetics can be used to build the
next generation of sustainable and resilient
infrastructure and sustainability will
be a hot topic for the foreseeable future.
Flying into the airport recently, Kaul
was pleased with the project, completed
in 2016. " I flew into Billings last fall
and looked it over from the landing of
the plane, and it all looked to be intact, "
he says. G
