The Geohex Technical Hub provides access to installation guides, performance classifications, and supporting technical documentation for engineers, specifiers, contractors, and distributors.
Geohex performance information is presented using application-based performance groupings developed through international use. These groupings are intended to support project planning and specification and are not tied to a single national standard.
For assistance selecting the appropriate performance class, reviewing base design concepts, or accessing technical documentation, please contact Geohex USA.
System overview, installation methodology, base preparation guidance, slope considerations, fill materials, and general technical notes.
Geohex performance classes are used internationally to group typical loading scenarios and installation requirements based on application type.
Each performance class provides:
Final design should always consider site-specific conditions and applicable regulations.
Designed for lower-intensity traffic and general access areas.
Typical U.S. applications include:
Designed for moderate-to-heavy commercial traffic and service areas.
Typical applications in the United States include:
Designed for high-load, high-frequency, and industrial environments.
Typical applications in the United States include:
Geohex CAD files are available to support:
CAD files are provided in DWG and DXF formats and are organized by performance class.
For assistance selecting the appropriate performance class, reviewing base design concepts, or accessing technical documentation, please contact Geohex USA.
Contact usGeohex is an internationally proven ground stabilization system used across a wide range of loading environments. To support U.S. designers, specifiers, and contractors, Geohex performance is presented using application-based load groupings rather than fixed numeric values.
This approach allows Geohex to be adapted to different site conditions, traffic types, and regulatory environments commonly encountered across the United States.
Geohex performance groupings are based on:
Final design should always consider site-specific factors and applicable local standards.
Typically associated with:
These applications prioritize surface stability, drainage, and ease of installation.
Typically associated with:
These applications require increased load distribution and base support compared to light-duty use.
Typically associated with:
These applications require robust base preparation and careful consideration of traffic patterns and site conditions.
Regardless of application type, Geohex performance is influenced by:
Engineering review is recommended for high-load, high-risk, or critical infrastructure applications.
Geohex performance groupings are provided as general guidance only and are not intended to replace project-specific engineering design. Final installation and load suitability must be determined by a qualified professional in accordance with applicable U.S. regulations and site conditions.
If you require assistance selecting the appropriate performance grouping or reviewing a specific application, contact Geohex USA.

Yes, the GEOHEX™ Erosion
The GEOHEX™ pavers come in a standard size of 5.4 sq ft, however, panels can be cut to size to suit your specific installation if required.
The GEOHEX™ Erosion Control System stabilizes turf and ground areas, meaning there is a lot less potential for accidents to occur. It also minimizes the risk of machinery or livestock getting bogged in muddy areas. By using the GEOHEX™ Erosion Control System in landscape applications, embankment subsidence and large movements of soil and rock can be easily prevented.
The unique, hexagonal and porous design of the GEOHEX™ Erosion Control System means that water is captured in the soil which can then be diverted into storage and detention tanks. This lowers the amount of surface water runoff, meaning less soil erosion and allows rainwater to be used for secondary purposes.
EachGEOHEX™ standard 5.4 sq ft pavers weigh 6 lb (unfilled).
Yes, the GEOHEX™ Erosion Control System is load-tested to heavy-duty applications equivalent to ASTM / AASHTO high-load classifications, ensuring superior strength and reliability for demanding applications, including erosion control, subgrade stabilization, and vehicular access.
The GEOHEX™ Erosion Control System is non-toxic to humans, animals and plants and also non-reactive to solvents, oils, chemicals and water.
We recommend excavating down to a minimum of 8 in however, final excavation will need to be determined by the existing material in the installation area. For example, water soaked mud and very sandy soils will require a thicker base than solid clay or rock bases. We also recommend laying a 6 in compacted road base sub-layer prior to installing the GEOHEX™ pavers.
We recommend laying the GEOHEX™ pavers starting in one corner with the male lugs facing outward and female lugs facing the next paver to be laid on both sides. Once you’ve determined the start point, lay the pavers in a staggered pattern for strength and durability, and simply click into place.
There is a small amount of flexibility in the GEOHEX™ pavers to allow for movement if you need to make minor adjustments or follow any ground contours.
Yes, the GEOHEX™ Erosion Control System can be used on sloped ground. For best results we recommend laying on inclines of ⅜ in or less but for inclines greater than ⅜ in we recommend the use of ground pins to secure the paver. Type Bugle head screws (minimum head diameter ~⅝–¾ in), galvanized and a minimum of 12 in long can be screwed into the sub-grade without the need for hammering through the cell material.
While excess material from the excavation is acceptable for infill, a granulate material made up of a mix of size and grade that packs down into the matrix will deliver the best result. For roads, we recommend cracker dust, road base or limestone. Please note that aggregate larger than ⅝ in will not settle well into the void.
1.3 cubic yards of aggregate will cover approximately 215 sq ft of Geohex.

Geohex performance classes are used internationally as general application-based groupings and are not intended to represent specific U.S. codes or standards. Final design, load verification, and installation requirements must be determined by a qualified engineer based on site conditions, anticipated traffic, and applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
