Soilweb, Pakkala, Vantaa. Hyvinkään tieluiska Oy installed Soilweb cells onto slopes to support the soil. The cells were greened.

Soilweb cells were installed onto ramp areas due to soil collapses caused by water running off from the Jokiniementie road interachange.

The cells are filled with soil and a Greenfix 9 shrub erosion blanket has been installed on the surface, which allows for the optimisation of plant growth on steep slope surfaces.

The cells were installed in 2009 and 2013.
