Cellular Confinement System (CCS), commonly referred to as geocells, were developed by Presto Geosystems in the late 1970’s. Developed with the US Army Corps of Engineers: Refer to this document. Presto is the original co-developer of the Geocell Confinement technology. Our competitors often will suggest that they participated in the original development, and so we encourage you to read this document as poof that the Geoweb® Cellular Confinement Systems is the ORIGINAL & GENUINE Geocell Cellular Confinement System. Note: Geoweb was invented in America by Presto Products and the Army Corps of Engineers and has always been manufactured in the USA.
The CCS's 3-dimensional geocellular honeycomb structure confines and stabilizes cohesionless soils, delivering strength and higher performance to soils than when unconfined. The CCS technology is based on the interaction between hoop stresses in the geocell walls and passive earth resistance of single or multi-layered geocell systems. Presto and their partners continue to lead research and development to advance cellular confinement technology for soil stability challenges in a wide range of site applications and markets. You can count on honest project design and construction support from the same people who have protected soils across the globe for three decades. Leading with the highest quality materials, reliable performance and cost-savings innovations.

Geoweb® Applications: Demands for cellular confinement technology (CCT) expanded beyond the initial scope of that cooperative work into other areas, including slope and channel protection, earth retention and heavy load support applications with a variety of infill materials. To address these new markets, Presto continued CCT research and implemented product improvements that resulted in today's higher joint strengths, better overall material performance and ultimately higher standards than reported in the original Corps standard.

The ATRA Key Advantage: In a recent side-by-side productivity comparison exercise, Geoweb sections connected with ATRA keys proved nearly three times faster than using a stapler/staples. Other ATRA Key benefits & the outstanding comparison results are available in the ATRA Key clear advantage link below. A video will be placed on the website soon showing live footage of the exercise. Input we’ve received from the field also confirms the benefits of using ATRA Keys instead of stapling. Connecting Geoweb Panels: There are two methods to connect Geoweb sections. The ATRA® Key & the Stapling method were compared in a side by side test. The results highlight the ATRA Key option as the clear advantage. Also available: ATRA Key Brochure
- 3 times faster than stapling.
- 3 times stronger than stapling.
- Only 1 laborer required per Geoweb connection point vs. 2 for stapling.
- No equipment downtime for stapler reloads, jams.

Geoweb® / TRM High-Performance Vegetated Solutions
Impressive results from the Geoweb/TRM vegetated infill research for rip rap replacement in channels / drainage ditches, vegetated dams / spillways, and vegetated channel lining systems.
Research Performance Results
The Geoweb/TRM system was exposed to varying shear stresses and flow rates for channels with average velocities up to 26.5 ft./sec. The Geoweb/TRM combined significantly exceeds the limits of separately reported values for both the Geoweb and TRMs.

Geoweb® Benefits
A variety of local infill are available. Geoweb® protects vegetative root zones, provides a flexible form creating a series of expansion joints for concrete infill and dramatically reduces road base thickness when compared to conventional designs. Geoweb® is ideal for installation in remote or restricted access sites and provides flexible, durable protection. Geoweb® gravity and composite retaining walls can be designed to almost any requirement. Geoweb® strengthens structural fills while differential and total settlement is significantly reduced. Geoweb® reduces pavement deflection, rutting and maintenance costs. Geoweb® is lightweight and packaged in compact bundles for easy shipment.
Textured and Perforated Geoweb® Cell Walls
The Geoweb® Cellular Confinement System consists of solid, textured or perforated cell walls. The textured Geoweb® has diamond shaped indentations molded into the surface of the cell walls significantly increasing the frictional interlock between the surface of the cell and the infill material. The Perforated Geoweb® Cellular Confinement System provides optimum frictional interlock between cell walls and concrete, stone or vegetative infill materials while significantly improving drainage characteristics of the designed and integrated Geoweb® Cellular Confinement system.
