Furbish 2013. © United Themes. When the slope is really steeped, the most common slope stabilization and erosion prevention method is some kind of retaining slopes method joined with revegetation. The origin of unstable slopes can be natural because of the soil geotechnical properties, or as consequence of human activities that create new cutting slopes or embankments during construction works. When soil is disturbed at a construction site, or the natural vegetation cover is retired, the erosion rate may increase significantly. Proper planning and use of erosion control prevention and mitigation measures can reduce the impact of human-caused erosion. In order to stabilize steepened slopes, some kind of soil retention method is nevertheless needed; joining it with a well-established vegetative cover is one of the most effective methods of reducing erosion in unstable slopes steeper than 2H:1V. The retention method keeps the soil meanwhile vegetation protects soil surfaces from rain generated splash erosion and can help to slow runoff flows across a disturbed ground. 1 / 11 In addition, plant roots hold their soil in place, keeping it from washing away during rainstorms. Lastly, trees help to prevent high winds from blowing away top soil because the trees provide windbreaks, which can prevent high winds.

Symbol Photo 1 – Cellular confinement system Photo 2 – Cellular confinement system used to restrict gravel movement on a used to retain soil and assist in the permanent car park establishment of grass on a steep slope Key Principles 1. Critical design parameters are the size and depth of the cells, choice of cell wall texture (smooth or rough, solid or perforated), type of anchorage system (applicable to slopes and concave surfaces), and the choice of infill material. 2. It is critical to ensure the top of the cellular confinement system (CCS) is set flush with, or slightly below, the adjacent terrain to avoid stormwater run-on water being diverted along the edge of the matrix. Design Information The following design information applies to applications not within a drainage channel. For use as a channel/chute lining, refer to the separate fact sheet within the ‘Drainage Control’ section. Step 1 Determine the type of cell wall: smooth, textured, or perforated. Textured or perforated surfaces (Photo 4) are required when the honeycomb matrix is installed with a concave profile that may cause the matrix to lift from the ground. Perforated cell walls are required when it is necessary for water flow to pass laterally through the cell walls (Photos 5 & 6).

We understand the City of Puyallup is requiring an update to our Geologic Hazard Assessment to address the presence of an erosion hazard area at the site. Additionally, we understand that permanent cut slopes are now proposed at the site, which will need to meet the performance standards per Puyallup Municipal Code (PMC) 21.06.1230. The proposed site grading and the locations of our previous subsurface explorations are shown on the Site & Exploration Plan, Figure 1. We previously prepared a Soils Report dated April 24, 2019 and a Geologic Hazard Assessment dated November 14, 2019 for the proposed residential short plat at the site. Our soils report included the subsurface explorations and descriptive logs of 4 test pits excavated across the site. We also reviewed the Geotechnical Study Report Update by Pacific Geo Engineering dated December 8, 2016, which included 4 previous hand auger explorations at the site. We did not perform any additional subsurface explorations or laboratory testing a part of our original Geologic Hazard Assessment or this addendum. This addendum address comments from the Landau Associates, Inc, as the City of Puyallup third-party geotechnical engineering reviewer dated February 7, 2020.

Our solutions incorporate control of track geometry and rail alignment, stabilisation of the ballast and capping layers and complete drainage systems. 4 GEOFABRICS.CO THE RAIL CORRIDOR A rail track is made up of the rail, the fastening system, sleepers, ballast and capping/structural layer. The system needs to survive the trafficking and climate so that the subgrade is adequately protected and that the performance of the track is effectively supported during the design life. A primary function of the capping/structural fill layers is to distribute forces to make sure that the stresses in the subgrade are at a satisfactory level. The use of geosynthetics within the ballast and capping/structural fill layers can significantly reduce track substructure renewal costs as well as enhancing its performance, reducing maintenance costs and increasing the lifetime of the design. In order to understand which materials will enhance the system we must first examine the track sub-structure.

  • The History of Geocells
    The History of Geocells In the late 1970's Presto co-invented the technology known as cellular confinement with the US Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station (WES). The early applications of cellular confinement or geocells consisted primarily of stabilised, expedient sand roads for military vehicles. What many people may not know about the early development of the geocell cellular confinement system is that the material wasn’t always black in colour or plastic? In fact the early testing of a grid confinement system included wax coated craft paper; a plastic drainage pipe matrix fastened with staples; paper-thin, hexagonal glued aluminium; low and medium density recycled materials; pure polyethylene without UV stabilisation; and square cells similar to old fashioned egg carton separators. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contacted Presto Products, a plastics manufacturer, for assistance in developing a stronger grid confinement system that would maintain strength under heavy loads. Working with Steve Webster at the WES Presto’s Gary Bach devised a method to weld polyethylene strips to form a cellular structure that became known as “Sandgrid” and was used by the military primarily for road applications. Side by side cost/performance testing of a plastic geocell (termed “roadbase”) and aluminium geocells at The Waterways Experimentation Station, Vicksburg, Miss. Circa 1979. After testing various blends of resin, High Density Virgin Polyethylene worked best for weld consistency and structural strength. Since early development with the Corps of Engineers, geocells have been further improved for many other soil stabilisation applications, including the rapid construction of fortified walls in the U.S’s Middle East combat zones starting with Operation Desert Storm in the early 1990s.
