1
Reduces soil compaction
Distributes water throughout the soil profile, preventing compaction and improving soil aeration, which promotes root growth and nutrient absorption.
2
Prevents erosion
Stabilizes soil by ensuring even moisture distribution, reducing the risk of erosion and supporting long-term landscape integrity.
3
Improves load-bearing capacity
Reinforces soil structure, making it suitable for construction or landscaping by naturally enhancing its ability to support weight.

How GEPS outperforms traditional soil stabilization solutions
Feature | Exlterra | Traditional Solutions |
---|---|---|
Soil stability | Enhances soil structure and load-bearing capacity | Limited impact on soil strength |
Erosion prevention | Distributes moisture evenly, reducing erosion | Typically lacks impact on soil erosion |
Compaction control | Prevents soil compaction naturally | Often requires machinery to manage compaction |
Foundation support | Provides stable soil for foundations | Minimal support for foundational stability |
Energy requirements | Passive design with no energy input | Often requires mechanical reinforcement |
Adaptability to site | Configurable layout based on site needs | Often rigid with limited customization |
Installation disruption | Minimal landscape impact during installation | Installation can require heavy equipment |
Exlterra GEPS design
The roots of soil health
Precision-engineered to use nature's forces
Exlterra’s GEPS units are designed to work with nature, using durable, chemically neutral polyethylene for long-lasting, eco-friendly performance.
Modular in design, they come in various lengths to address specific site needs with precision.
GEPS relies on a passive energy system that uses natural soil pressures to drive water infiltration, enhancing groundwater recharge without external power.
The compact, cylindrical units are installed 2 feet below the surface, blending seamlessly into the landscape without disturbing plants or infrastructure.
Built to withstand diverse ground conditions, GEPS offers a reliable, sustainable solution for water management and soil health.
Durable polyethylene build
Crafted from chemically inert polyethylene, GEPS units are long-lasting and resistant to environmental factors, ensuring durability in varied climates and soil conditions.
Modular design for flexibility
GEPS units come in multiple lengths, allowing tailored installation patterns that adapt to specific site requirements for optimal soil hydration and stability.
Passive energy activation
The unit’s internal structure harnesses natural soil forces, enabling energy-free water movement for efficient groundwater recharge and moisture control.
Compact profile for seamless installation
With a slim, cylindrical form, GEPS units install just below the surface, allowing integration into the landscape without disrupting existing vegetation or infrastructure.
Built for underground durability
Remain leak-free and effective throughout their entire lifespan.
Wide temperature range
Operates reliably from -20°F to 170°F (-29°C to 76°C)
Different lengths available
GEPS units range from 5 to 40 feet (1.5 to 12 meters) long.
Minimal installation depth
Installs just 1 to 1.64 feet (30 to 50 cm) below ground.
