PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The property owners are located near the Nerang National Park, in an area surrounded by forrestry. They wanted to transform the area behind their home using vegetation inspired by their environment.

CHALLENGE

The key issue was the slope on the property next to the swimming pool. Being steep, vegetation would need to be supported by a structure to ensure that it grew correctly.

Alternative products like Jute Mesh that are typically used in ladscaping projects similar to this one wouldn’t be suited to the slope or the climate, as the area experiences intense heat and heavy rainfall events.

OUR SOLUTION

After discussions with the homeowners, the contractor, and Geofabrics, Geoweb® was put forward as a solution. The contractor installed the Geoweb® with success, and a creeper was placed within the cells to support the vegetation.

Geoweb® is a stronger solution and once it’s installed and vegetated, it will be there for life. After several heavy rainfall events, the vegetation has stayed strong and continues to grow.

PRODUCT USED

Geoweb® Cellular Confinement Geocell System 

  • It is widely used for load support, erosion control, slope stability, retaining structures and high velocity channels
  • Consists of a robust three-dimensional structure housing a network of interconnected cells that confine and compact soil
  • The confinement action prevents erosion and improves the structural performance of the soil or aggregate infill providing an alternative to reinforced concrete or armour
  • The confinement system comes in collapsed, lightweight panels which can be handled easily and safely onsite
