Overview:
PRESTO GEOSYSTEMS partners with architects, engineers and consultants to solve a full range of porous pavement needs with the Geoblock®, GeoPave™, and FilterPave™ systems, and challenging soil and surface stabilization problems with the Geoweb® and GeoTerra® systems. The systems can be used in a variety of landscape applications meeting a wide range of performance and aesthetic requirements and provide economic and sustainable solutions in many areas of environmental design: permeable pavements, slope, channel and shoreline protection, vegetated earth retention and surface protection applications. Presto offers complimentary project evaluation service.

Geoblock®
|
The GEOBLOCK® porous pavement system offers an eco-friendly and aesthetic green solution to protecting turf from vehicular or pedestrian traffic. The permeable system reduces storm water runoff and maximizes ground water replenishment. Ideally suited for occasional traffic areas where the natural beauty of sustainable vegetation and permeability of topsoil are desired: Two sizes available to most economically handle loading requirements. Applications: Emergency and utility access lanes, overflow parking, golf cart paths, ATV and walking trails, and other high use applications. ISO 9001:2008 quality certified. Contributes to green building LEED™ credits for reducing stormwater runoff, reducing the heat island effect, reducing site disturbance and using recycled material content.

GeoPave®
|
The GEOPAVE® porous pavement system is designed for confining and stabilizing porous infill materials from normal vehicle or pedestrian traffic. The system offers an economical solution for creating permeable pavements that can perform as an on-site stormwater storage “basin”. Contributes to green building LEED™ credits for reducing stormwater runoff, reducing the heat island effect, reducing site disturbance and using recycled material content.

FilterPave®
|
The FILTERPAVE® system offers engineers, architects and owners a greener, more attractive hard-surfaced porous pavement, with aesthetics, design flexibility, environmental benefits and performance that surpass standards for pavements of its kind. More porous than alternatives, the pavement utilizes a high percentage (96%) recycled materials and 100% post-consumer recycled glass in its mix. The glass is specially-processed and bonded with a natural binder, making it as safe as any traditional surface on which to walk or drive.

Firmapave®
|
The FIRMAPAVE® system offers a porous hard-surfaced pavement that handles pedestrian and vehicular traffic loads. Variant-colored natural stone will define, enhance and differentiate your landscape designs with classic colors and rich tones.

Geoweb®
|
The GEOWEB® System is the original three-dimensional cellular confinement system manufactured in the USA from high-quality, high-strength polyethylene. The system offers engineers and architects innovative solutions to challenging soil stabilization problems and improves the performance of structural fill in a wide range of applications…from roadways, road shoulders road bases stabilization to slope, channel and shoreline protection, storm water detention basins, and vegetated retaining walls. ISO 9001:2008 quality certified. Contributes to green building LEED™ credits for reducing storm water runoff, reducing the heat island effect, and reducing site disturbance.

GeoTerra®
|
The GEOTERRA® System offers contractors a durable, reusable structural mat system that eliminates the safety hazards and expense of the classic timber mat systems. The system is an economical ground-surface reinforcement layer that supports loads over soft subgrades and creates reinforced pavements in less-than-ideal environments. The system prevents rutting of soils, provides access over sand and poor soils and is suitable for supporting a wide variety of vehicle and equipment loads.

GeoRunner®
|
Presto GEORUNNER® Surface Protection Mats are portable, economical and driveable mats that every contractor will want. The light-weight (8 lbs), easy-to-handle size makes them ideally-suited for transporting to construction sites.
GeoRunner mats minimize turf damage and soil compaction caused by concentrated light-to-medium loads from pedestrian foot traffic, equipment and vehicles. Contractors prefer them over plywood because they can be quickly removed from sites, cleaned, stored and reused numerous times.

GeoRunner®
|
When concentrated flows or water fluctuations cause scour, consider the Presto GEORUNNER® Flow Protection Mats. The light-weight, durable mats protect against scour caused by surface flow, water fluctuations and wave action. The mats are ideal for protecting channel embankments, shorelines, culvert outfalls and areas exposed to concentrated flows.

Geoweb®
|
The GEOWEB® Load Support System is an economical three-dimensional soil stabilization solution to unacceptable road, parking, and yard surface problems that result from sub-grade material failure or base material instability. The highly-effective system strengthens and stabilizes granular infill materials, providing load distribution in key areas: base stabilization over weak soils or under paved surfaces, permeable surface stabilization for unpaved aggregate surfaces and temporary stabilization for site access. Lower quality, less expensive on-site infill materials may be used. With permeable infill, the system reduces stormwater runoff and performs like an on-site stormwater storage “basin”. Confinement of infill increases the effective structural number, reducing the infill depth requirements and costs by 50%. ISO 9001:2008 quality certified

Geoweb®
|
The GEOWEB® Slope Protection System provides a structurally-stable environment for infill materials through a network of three-dimensional interconnected cells. The system confines and reinforces the upper soil layer, increasing its resistance to erosive and sliding forces. The Geoweb system provides long-term stability of sustainable vegetation, permeable aggregate, hard-armored concrete, as well as protection to geomembranes through use of high-strength tendons. The 3D structure supports topsoil and vegetation on slope surfaces that otherwise could not support plant life and allows slopes to be designed and constructed steeper than otherwise possible, reducing use of valuable land space. ISO 9001:2008 quality certified.

Geoweb®
|
The GEOWEB® Channel Protection System provides a wide variety of economical, flexible protection treatments for channels and hydraulic structures. The system provides stability and protection to channels exposed to erosive conditions ranging from low-to-high flows, either intermittent or continuous. Vegetated Geoweb channels can replace rip rap with less maintenance and less cost for drainage ditches, swales and spillways. Aggregate-confined Geoweb systems are more stable than unconfined aggregate, effective in low-to-moderate flow channels and often with smaller, less expensive materials. Concrete infill provides hard, durable protection for channels exposed to higher velocities. Multi-layered systems are effective for intermittent channels where vegetation is desired. ISO 9001:2008 quality certified.

Geoweb®
|
The GEOWEB® Earth Retention System provides an economical, structurally-sound, and attractive green alternative to conventional retaining wall systems. The Geoweb system meets all design requirements while providing desired aesthetics through a terraced face where vegetation can flourish, creating a natural living wall. The Geoweb system adapts to a wide range of design criteria and construction requirements, meeting site challenges even when subgrade soils are compressible. With a high percentage of open area, ability to use on-site fills and efficient transportation of materials, the Geoweb system is an eco-friendly solution for a wide variety of retaining walls. ISO 9001:2008 quality certified.
