The strong, yet flexible cellular structure of Geocell confines the in-filled material and makes a stable base for load distribution.
Geocell is a low-cost, high performance solution that prevents slope erosion , while providing several facing options such as vegetation for aesthetic cover, concrete for permanent cover etc., thereby enabling a sustainable footprint.
The manufacturing operation involves extruding the base polymer strips using laser controlled processes to ensure accuracy throughout the batch. After, extrusion the strips are perforated and then finally the joints are welded using an ultrasonic welding machines which provides the highest weld strength possible.
The confinement action of Geocell reduces erosion on slopes due to rain, wind and other factors . Geocell system can be used from very steep 60 degree slopes to very gradual 27 degrees slopes, and provides a cost effective solution. After the slope is dressed and compacted Geocell can be expanded and installed rapidly.
Due to the confinement effect and honeycomb structure, Geocell spreads the loads forming on top over a larger area effectively increasing the modulus of the infilled material. Geocell is very effective for pavements, ground improvement below embankments, access roads etc. Over poor subgrades such as expansive soils, black cotton areas, etc. It can be engineered for heavy loading and several site conditions.
Installation of Geocell is simple, requiring no machinery and can be done rapidly. Geocell load support solution is ideal for low CBR grounds with heavy loading requirements and will help save on natural resources by reducing the aggregate layers
