Azweb - Cellular Confinement System

Azweb is a lightweight, expandable cellular confinement system which creates an erosion barrier or structural foundation. The system is used for:

• Slope protection i.e. erosion control, slope stabilization, embankment protection, channel linings
• Ground stabilization
• Tree root protection

Azweb is guaranteed to be durable for a minimum of 25 years in natural soils with 4<pH<9 and soil temperatures of up to 25°C.

Erosion control & the benefits of Azweb Cellular Confinement System

Erosion occurs when the forces exerted by water or wind dislodge and transport away soil particles. The amount of erosion depends on the strength of the wind/water, the dimensions of the slope (height, length and steepness) and type of soil.

While seeding and vegetation provide a cost effective solution on gentle slopes, Azweb system provides an economical solution for severe erosion conditions when compared to a combination of geotextile and stone layers, gabions and the like.

The cells of Azweb system can be filled with soil, sand, pebble, concrete etc. The infill
is protected by the cell thus preventing its removal by erosion forces. Each cell functions as a small dam allowing water or wind to pass over the top without removal of the infill. If seeded soil is used as the filling material, mowing can be carried out without any interference by the cell walls. If concrete is used, the system will protect the underlying soil from either wind or water erosion.

When external weight is required for slope stability, filled Azweb will provide it. For example, Azweb when applied to stream beds, stream and road embankments will prevent deterioration by water erosion.
