The company is a leading manufacturer of innovative and eco-friendly products, proving solutions for storm water and soil stabilization. For over 30 years, they have partnered with engineers, contractors and owners to provide solutions to challenging soil stability problems in slope protection, channel protection, shoreline protection, vegetated earth retention, and load support applications.
Their global distribution network and projects are supported worldwide in diverse markets, ranging from general site construction to oil & gas, mining, railroad, transportation and green building. They have executed numerous civil construction projects in South Africa, and primarily road projects in Tanzania, Uganda, Tanzania and Nigeria. However, African market is not yet conversant with the Geoweb “geocell” technology. They have participated in geosynthetics, mining and oil/gas exhibitions worldwide.
Their Geoweb® system is a three-dimensional, cellular confinement product manufactured from high-quality material and conforms to stringent ISO and CE standards. Their geocell technology has the numerous design and construction product improvements and accessories as part of the complete solution. They actively participated on a project in solving soft soil Site Access Challenges in Oil Producing Regions in Ghana.
Presto’s porous pavement systems address aesthetic, economic, permeability, traffic and site requirements.
Designed with a strong monolithic mesh bottom, GeoPave pavers keep open-graded aggregate in place under loading. The systems are ideal for emergency and utility access lanes, parking areas, trails and other traffic areas.
GeoTerra® construction mats manufactured from high density polyethylene, light-weight design are ideal for many construction applications including site access, tracking pads, utility transmission line access, oil & gas platforms, helipads and equipment storage. They are 40-70% less costly than heavier mat systems and don’t require heavy handling equipment.
Bryan Wedin, Director, advices potential buyer to review product submittals and technical documentation from the manufacturer/distributor carefully, as there are those who sell low-cost, low-quality material that is prone to failure. A complete design package that evaluates project details (e.g. slope angle and length, soils, infill weight, vehicle loading, etc.) is also important in ensuring the intended project is designed correctly.
