Mining

The GEOWEB system creates durable mine roads by strengthening and stabilizing on-site infill. The system offers economical solutions for mine haul roads, underground roadways, and base improvement.

• Substantially reduces rolling resistance, decreasing cycle times and fuel savings.
• Reduces mechanical wear and tire damage for haul trucks.
• Significantly reduces road maintenance.
• Sections are easy to transport and can be quickly installed with mine site crews and without specialized equipment.
• 3D structure reduce cross-section to handle heavy loads = material savings.

The GEOWEB 3D structure offers deep surface protection on embankments and solves erosion control and slope-surface stability problems.  The system provides geomembrane protection, slope weatherproofing, stabilization of process and wastewater containment basins, pipeline protection and hazardous waste confinement.

• Embankment infill confined in the GEOWEB 3D structure supports sustainable vegetation and allows slopes to be designed steeper.
• Stable embankments create safer work areas in open pit mines and increases available mining area.
• Provides protection to geomembranes (hard-armored or vegetation).
• GEOWEB retaining walls can be designed for steep slopes erosion protection.

GEOWEB systems can be designed for open channels and offer vegetated, aggregate, or concrete hard-armor solutions.

• Allows use of low-cost waste rock with the same protection offered by larger rip rap.
• Eliminates costly rip rap in drainage ditches and stormwater swales by using a low-maintenance, vegetated GEOWEB/TRM system to resist velocities up to 30 fps (9 m/s).
• Achieves outstanding stability and resistance to high flows with concrete infill.
