Products Description
Reinforced HDPE Geocell Cellular Confinement System for Slope Protection
GEOCELL is produced from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and has a three-dimensional cellular confinement system that confines and strengthens infill material including native fill, topsoil, granular or concrete, within the cells of its honeycomb-like structure.
Within the interconnected cells, GEOCELL serves many benefits to the material it confines, such as boosting weight-bearing capabilities, preventing lateral movement, and providing durable stabilization. There are four main applications that geocell provides solutions: soil stabilization, erosion control, channel protection, and retaining walls. It is being widely used in construction, such as highway, railway, bridge, dyke, etc.
Geocells are use in civil engineering for protection and stabilization applications. They are often used to help improve the performance of standard construction materials and erosion-control treatments.
Main Application
Slope Reinforcement
On slope applications, Geocell can be filled with angular rock, concrete or with vegetated soil. The Geocell confine the infill material, creating a stable layer protecting the slope from erosion. Geocell is a flexible system that will contour to the subgrade of a slope, reducing preparation time. When filled with vegetated soil or rock, the system is permeable - reducing water runoff.
Base Stabilization
Geocell is a confinement system that performs better than conventional crushed stone sections, and it provides an expedient construction technique for access roads over soft ground without being adversely affected by wet weather conditions. Geocell can also be used to strengthen paved areas.
Channel Protection
Geocell can be installed on slopes as steep as 60 degrees and on channels with flow velocities greater than 25 ft/s (7.6 m/s), depending on infill material. Angular rock is used for velocities up to 10 ft/s (3 m/s), vegetated soil up to 20 ft/s (6 m/s) and concrete for velocities greater than 20 ft/s (6m/s).
Retaining Walls
Geocell can be used for both cut and fill applications on retaining walls. The flexible panels are custom made to the front to back dimensions required by the project engineer. Geocell can be easily installed around curves, pipes or other structures. Geocell panels can be stacked to create a 90 degree wall, or they can be stair stepped at every layer to create exposed cell for vegetation.
The Advantage of Geocell
- Provides cost effective, long-term slope and channel protection and stabilization. - Ease in transportation and on-site handling due to collapsible cells. - Rapid and simple installation conforms to most terrain profiles. - Ultrasonic welding of cell joints ensures maximum strength. - Easily dismantled and subsequently re-used. - Withstands high weight bearing loads. - Resistant to biological attack and a wide range of soil borne chemicals.
