Active Slope Stabilisation Systems

Many different slope treatment systems are available, from basic erosion controls through to serious stabilisation systems that require drilling and anchoring. These active mesh systems provide an engineered and more permanent solution with a design life that is considerably greater than shotcrete, scaling or mesh drapes and in the long term are often more economical requiring little or no maintenance.

Slope stabilisation systems are now available that have undergone realistic field-testing in laboratory conditions. This has been done in order to provide sound engineering proofs and bearings for system dimensioning. This means that qualified engineers can sign off these systems with real confidence and it has also enabled the development of effective software packages for optimising cost-effective solutions.

Aside from often being new technology, it can be difficult for designers to develop a realistic cost benefit ratio without prior installation and project experience. Geovert is leading the field in the development of practical solutions that consider comprehensively both cost and system effectiveness. 

Geovert capabilities include all types of geotextiles and specifically designed meshes for small residential slip repairs to large-scale construction on rock cuttings, road and rail embankments.
