Presto Geosystems supports mine consultants and their owners to solve challenging soil stabilization problems with the GEOWEB® geocells. The GEOWEB system is a trusted, quality solution for mining soil stability needs, including haul roads, site access roads, slope reclamation, channel armoring and vegetated retaining walls.
The GEOWEB soil confinement system strengthens and stabilizes infill -allowing the use of on-site fill and even sand. GEOWEB geocells are an economical solution for mine haul roads, base improvement, and tailings containment. Sections are easily transported, even to remote locations, and can be quickly installed with ATRA® keys.
Mine haul roads benefits:
The GEOWEB 3-D structure stabilizes the upper soil layer on embankments and solves challenging slope erosion control and slope-surface stability problems. GEOWEB slope protection systems are utilized to stabilize cut slopes during mining operations or at mine closure.
Slope protection benefits:
The GEOWEB system offers hard armor protection to geomembrane liners in solution ponds, stormwater containment and tailings storage facilities. A complete engineered geocell cover solution includes the GEOWEB material with high-strength tendons and load transfer clips. The system may be designed to be compatible with all liner types.
GEOWEB mine channels are designed for open channels and stormwater control with topsoil/vegetation, aggregate or concrete infill. Ideally suited for surface-water diversion channels, surface process-water channels, channel remediation and movement of tailings materials.
Channel system benefits:
Channel armoring applications:
GEOWEB retaining walls offer structural stability with the distinct advantage of a sustainable, completely vegetated fascia. The earth-retention system can withstand reasonable differential settlement without loss of structural integrity, can be constructed in remote areas with difficult access.
Retaining wall applications:
The GEOWEB® 3D confinement system is an economical and fast to deploy load support solution for mine haul roads that delivers faster cycle times, significantly reduced road maintenance, and minimal rutting and wash-boarding.
In May 1995, 70,000sf of large-cell (GW40V) GEOWEB® slope protection system was utilized on Phase II of the Cyprus Miami Open-Pit Mine to stabilize the cut slopes upon completion of copper extraction at the site.
PRESTO GEOSYSTEMS® leads the storm water and site development industry with eco-friendly, custom-tailored solutions to meet the most demanding soil and water problems.
Amara Mining Côte d’Ivoire (Amara) proposed to restart the historical Yaoure mine, which has been placed on care and maintenance since 2011 due to political uncertainty. Amara Mining Côte d’Ivoire (Amara, formerly Cluff Gold) acquired the mine in 2004.
Geocells (cellular confinement) offer a more effective and practical 3D design solution to load support challenges than multilayered 2D geogrid efforts. Geocells transfer applied loads instantaneously, delivering practical soil stabilization in a product that is fast and easy to install.
