INSTALLATION GUIDE
Prior to installing GEOHEX Erosion Control System, the following ground preparation is required.
- Prior mechanical compaction of the soil and / or ground base is essential for the successful performance of a GEOHEX Erosion Control System.
- It is recommended that a sand bed be placed under GEOHEX Erosion Control System so as to construct a perfectly flat surface under the soil layer to prevent rutting and subsidence due to vehicular or livestock movement.
- If the surface is prone to movement, it may be necessary to install extra sub-soil drainage to maintain the strength and integrity of the topsoil.
- Any additional drainage technology used may consist of coarse road base, agricultural piping, sand or a combination of all of these. Fine road base may lower or even prevent excess absorption of water.
- The sand bed under GEOHEX Erosion Control System requires moderate compacting to ensure proper topsoil leveling. GEOHEX Erosion Control System can then be placed right on top of this layer.
- The best infill for GEOHEX Erosion Control System is an angular stone up to 10-15 mm in size, which locks together to restrict any further slope movement.
- Other recommended infill products include topsoil, sand and fine gravel.
- Since it is made of plastic matting or pavers, the GEOHEX Erosion Control System can be used with any type of turf configuration or turf variety.
- The use of weed sheets is also recommended to prevent further maintenance in turf areas using GEOHEX Erosion Control System.
- Areas that have had GEOHEX Erosion Control System installed should be inspected regularly to determine if any damage or minor subsidence has occurred as a matter of precaution.

INFILL SPECIFICATION CHART
Suggested guide for filling material choice for the GOEHEX™ Erosion Control System.
| FILLING MATERIAL | PROCEDURE | COMMENTS |
| Lime (crushed / granular) | Use at a diameter of up to 20mm and ensure medium to high levels of compaction. | Avoid lime with a high clay content as the surface will become excessively slippery. Also avoid material with a high blue metal content. |
| Pumice | Great for drainage and soft surface requirements. | Ensure good compaction and low sand content. |
| Blue metal and recycled crusher dust |
Very good compacter and useful for exits and entry roads. | Needs thorough and uniform compaction. |
| Rotten stone | Good for bovine hooves and is also preferable for many other livestock. | Must be no bigger than 30mm in diameter. Can get slippery when wet. Must be soft enough to avoid damaging the GOEHEX™ Erosion Control System. |
| Soil | Only use where extremely soft surfaces are required. Ensure a very high level of compaction. Also good for areas where the promotion of turf growth is required. | Ensure the soil is clean and free of contaminants such as large rocks, metal or glass. Can be mixed with 10% to 15% washed sand. |
| Miscellaneous | Fine, rock or soil like material that is less than 20mm in diameter. | Avoid any fillings that have high stone content or sharp edges. |
