STABILISATION TECHNOLOGY
W H AT I S G E O H E X ™ ?
The GEOHEX™ Erosion Control System is a
unique and innovative ground stabilisation
technology that is easy to use and quick to
install.
GEOHEX™ is a permeable ground
stabilisation technology that has been
engineered for use in multiple applications
ranging from soil & turf stabilisation for the
enhancement of water saving measures to the
reinforcement of roads in and around mine
and construction sites.
With a load rating of 1200 tonnes per square
metre the GEOHEX™ system is a safe and
cost effective substitute for concrete in
many applications. It is environmentally
friendly and designed to reduce maintenance
and logistic costs while at the same time
increasing safety and water conservation.
Designed and manufactured in Australia to
ISO9001:2014 standards GEOHEX™ is made
from high impact resistant 100% recycled
and recyclable co-polymer polypropylene.
