Soil erosion and soil stability can be an issue in Western Australia particularly in rural areas. Civil and General Distributors now supply the GEOHEX™ Erosion Control System.
Designed and manufactured in Australia to ISO9001:2014 standards, this unique and innovative ground stabilisation technology is easy and quick to install and can be used to:
- manage water runoff,
- assist with slope stabilisation and sediment control,
- prevent drainage and hydraulic erosion,
- rehabilitate industrial and mining sites, and
- control and manage storm water drainage to prevent flooding and other drainage issues.
GEOHEX™ is a permeable ground stabilisation technology engineered for use in multiple applications. It is used to help stabilise infill material, mitigate erosion, control shearing (lateral and vertical movement) in a wide range of soil and substrate types.
With a load rating of 1,200 tonnes per square metre when filled, the GEOHEX™ Erosion Control System is a safe and cost effective substitute for concrete in many applications.
