Geotechnical Ltd invited Maccaferri to provide a soil nail-facing system for topsoil retention and erosion protection on a soil-nailed slope at Exley Bank, part of the A629 Calderdale Phase 1B project. The slope would be 26\u202fm long, with heights ranging from 6.8\u202f m at its peak to 2\u202fm at the lowest point. A 1.5\u202fm masonry wall was to be constructed at the toe, with a 60\u00b0 soil-nailed slope above it. The design required a topsoil retention system to act as a growing medium for vegetation while providing durable erosion control.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"container-full text-bocolor-block-green\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12\">\n                        <h3>Solution<\/h3>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>    \n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12\">\n            <div class=\"container box-container\">\n                <div class=\"row\">\n                    <div class=\"col-12 content\">\n                        <p>Project designers WSP chose Maccaferri\u2019s Geomac System, an innovative slope stabilisation and erosion protection method. Geomac mattresses are large wire cages (3\u202fm \u00d7 2\u202fm \u00d7 0.23\u202f m) lined with Mactex H2800 filter fabric, filled with stone and soil, and topped with a MacMat\u00ae\u202fR lid. Once installed and seeded, they form stable panels that encapsulate topsoil, resist erosion, and encourage rapid vegetation growth. The masonry wall base was backfilled with no-fines concrete to support the baskets. Sisk, the main contractor, led the project, with Piletec Geotechnical Ltd installing the Geomac system and Maccaferri supplying all materials. Approximately 250\u202fm\u00b2 of Maccaferri Geomac erosion control mattresses were installed at Exley Bank, delivering a robust and long-term erosion protection system that also retained topsoil to encourage vegetation establishment. The completed slope was structurally stable, visually attractive, and fully aligned with project requirements, combining engineering performance with an environmentally sensitive approach. This collaborative effort between WSP, Sisk, Piletec Geotechnical Ltd, and Maccaferri successfully addressed the technical challenges of the site while enhancing its natural appearance.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div><div class=\"wp-block-mac-container-block box-container\"><div class=\"container\"><h2>Used Products<\/h2><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 col-xl-3 col-xxl-3\"><div class=\"wp-block-mac-card-new-block block-latest-news-container\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"content-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"box-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Reno-Mattresses.jpg\" alt=\"Reno Mattress Plus\" title=\"Reno Mattress Plus\" \/><\/div><div class=\"card-body\"><h6>Reno Mattress Plus<\/h6><span class=\"abstract\">RenoMac PlusBuilding on the success of Reno Mattress Plus, RenoMa<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/uk\/products\/reno-mattress-plus\/\" class=\"cta\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Reno Mattress Plus\">View\n                           <span class=\"text\" value=\"\" \/>\n                           <\/a><div data-post-id=\"113765\" class=\"star \" title=\"Add to wishlist\"><span class=\"material-symbols-rounded starrate\">star<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--usedproducts-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project designers WSP chose Maccaferri\u2019s Geomac System, an innovative slope stabilisation and erosion protection method.
