Geocells

 

This product is a flexible three-dimensional mattress made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) strips, which are ultrasonically bonded to form multiple cellular openings. The structure provides lateral confinement of the infill materials.

 

The enhanced system works on the principle of friction between the infill materials and the cell walls as well as the lateral confinement forces generated by the applied load thus minimizing deformation and subsequently improving the stability of the overall structure.

 

The newly filled structure acts to redistribute the load, sustain the erosive forces to protect the underlying soil layers and reinforce the fill materials.

Geocells improve the functional and structural behavior of soil and aggregate providing an alternative to concrete or rock armor slope cover. When the product is applied with suitable infill materials to form a cellular retention system, it offers cost effective solutions to the following applications:

 

· Load Support

by improving the bearing capacity of the sub-grade

· Slope Protection

by providing a cost effective slope protection solution where vegetation growth is difficult such as steep slope, rocky edges, acidic soils, hard soil and etc.

· Earth Retention

by providing confined stiffness with its cellular structure

· Channel and Pond Bank Protection

by enhancing vegetation growth, providing confined support and preventing the downward migration of soil particles
