HDPE Geocell Applications and Plastic Geocell Installation

Geocell Applications

Cellular Confinement Systems are widely used for erosion control and slope protection, load support, ground stabilisation, gravity retaining walls, retaining walls and protecting channels from erosion. A soil slope reinforced with geo cells creates a solid base that distributes the load over a wider area, reduces settlement of soft soil, improves shear resistance and load carrying capacity, and reduces distortion. HDPE Geocells help vegetation to establish and create surfaces that are easily maintained. If you have any needs or questions, please feel free to contact us, Mary +8618130028453, mary@zhongloo.com, Anhui Zhonglu (www.zlgeo.com).

Installing Plastic geocells for slope stabilisation

PE Geocells can be used with many types of temporary and permanent pavements, including porous asphalt and porous block paving. They can be used to protect the root structure of trees from damage caused by the compaction due to vehicular traffic. The porous surface ensures that water and essential nutrients reach the tree roots. By laying a non-woven geotextile under the gravel grid fines cannot wash through and clog the system.

Cellular confinement systems can be used as an alternative to Rip Rap rock armouring where suitable large rock is not available. However, in areas of high flow velocity, geocells filled with small rocks are generally not a suitable replacement and concrete mats should be used.

Geocell Installation

Stabilising a road base with geocells

To minimize transport costs, geocell panels are folded flat and stored on pallets. During installation the panels are expanded to form cells. The sections are filled with material such as soil, sand, aggregate or recycled concrete, and then mechanically compacted to ensure that the fill is flush or slightly below the adjacent terrain. Where it is important to separate a clay substrate from a gravel fill, a non-woven geotextile can be laid beneath the geocell. If you have any needs or questions, please feel free to contact us,  Mary +8618130028453, mary@zhongloo.com, Anhui Zhonglu (www.zlgeo.com).
