(57) The invention relates to a device, esepcially for stabilizing soil material, comprising
a substantially elongated web (l) which in mounted position on a support (4) forms
a plurality of cells or pockets. For the purpose of providing a device which can be
manufactured from inexpensive raw material, which possibly can easily decompose,
and which can be manufactured in accordance with a simple and preferably known process,
and at the same time render a minimum transport volume, and which in connection with
soil stabilizing provides favourable anchoring in the ground which is to be soil stabilized,
and which forms pockets or cells having walls extending vertically independent of
the slope angle of the ground for stabilizing the soil even during heavy rain, it
is according to the invention suggested that the web (l) is constituted by an initially
relatively thin, substantially flat web (l), preferably of flexible plastics, which
in a first direction is provided with rows of consecutively arranged slits (2,2a,
2b) which are so staggerd relative to each other that the web (l) by the stretching
thereof in a second direction forms oppositely undulating strips (3a,3b,3c) which
upon mounting of the web on a more or less inclined hill define side by side arranged
cells or pockets (8) which can be filled with soil (9) being stabilized by the device.
Due to the sharp lower edges (l0) of the undulating strips (3a,3b,3c) the device (l)
in stretched condition will easily be pressed down into the ground (4) for the anchoring
thereof in the ground (4), and the various degrees of stretching can be harmonized
to the various angles of inclination of the ground on which the device is to be carried.
