MACWEB
CELLULAR EROSION PROTECTION SYSTEM
Application
Steep slopes, river banks, ditches, spillways, and other
exposed areas are often prone to damage caused by
erosion due to wind or water.
MacWeb can help to prevent erosion by confining soils
and aggregates to within the cell structure.
Varying degrees of protection can be afforded by
selecting alternative in-fill materials. Seeded topsoil
provides protection for less exposed areas. Protection
may be increased by introducing vegetation such as
small shrubs. For greater protection, a granular in-fill can
be used in certain circumstances. Appropriate in-fills can
also be chosen to give a desired surface appearance.
MacWeb, is normally suitable for use on slopes with an
incline of up to 45 degrees (1:1 Slopes). If the slope
angle is greater than 45 degrees, additional
considerations need to be given to the design of the
cellular system and the standard MacWeb may not be
suitable. In these instances please contact us for further
assessment.

Installation
(a) Planning of Installation
It is advised that adequate planning and design of the
installation is undertaken before commencement of site
work. Each site is unique and particular precautions for
ensuring a successful installation may differ from site to
site.
When planning installation, attention should be given to
ensuring that all equipment and tools required for
installation are available. In addition, sufficient personnel
with the necessary skills) should be employed on the
installation work. Adequate precautions should also be
taken to ensure the safety of personnel. Some of the
other matters to consider when planning installation
include:
Desired shapes and sizes of the cells
Methods for compacting the slope surface (during
surface preparation)
Methods for fixing MacWeb to the installation surface
Anchoring details, to prevent excessive down-slope
movement of MacWeb
Methods for filling the cells
Methods for compacting the in-fill material into the cells,
if required.
