Presto Geosystems: GEOWEB 3D Soil Stabilization System

Winter storms and spring thawing can be hard on rail yards and terminals. Paving failures, potholes and rutting are the byproducts of the moisture and freeze-thaw associated with winter weather, combined with the heavy wheel loads that are inherent in the rail industry.

With over 30 years of heavy wheel load experience in the railroad, port and bulk transfer industries, as well as the U.S. military, Presto Geosystems' GEOWEB® 3D Soil Stabilization System offers a low-cost and long-term repair solution for pavement degradation problems.

The GEOWEB® 3D system can be installed in all weather and subgrade soil conditions. It reduces aggregate subbase requirements by 75 percent or more, and provides good vertical and horizontal drainage, according to Presto Geosystems. The system allows for the use of recycled concrete, asphalt or other low grade onsite material as fill, extends the life of asphalt, concrete or RCC paved or repaired areas, and can be used in both paved and unpaved areas.
