What are geocells?


Challenging foundations within highway and rail corridors are common and can lead to deep and costly treatments without geosynthetics. global Synthetics has a wide range of high strength and durable geogrid/geocomposite products (made from polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET)) for stabilizing roadbeds over soft and swollen foundations and for reinforcing structural layers of road and railroad assets. Geogrid reinforcement provides interlocking with gravel, rock and ballast materials to limit lateral movement of the overlying structural layers and can reduce depths by up to 30% in most cases.

Luyuan geocells are geosynthetics made of polypropylene, polyethylene or polyester. They are used in a variety of civil engineering related applications to provide ground reinforcement.

Geocells are made from extruded, woven or welded polymers to form open-cell products with varying strength, strain and load-bearing capacity for soil reinforcement applications.

1. Uniaxial Geocells

The High Performance Geogrid series is an engineered product for short and long term soil reinforcement applications. The products are woven for strength in both the long direction of the roll (commonly referred to as machine direction - mD) and in the transverse direction (commonly referred to as transverse direction - CD). Typically, the strength of the product is dominant in one direction of the roll (usually mD) and strong enough in the other direction of the fabric (usually CD) so that the fiber size is stable and the roll can be easily unwound.

In soil reinforcement applications, the use of geocells can impart significant tensile strength to the soil. Soil tension is very weak. The use of soil reinforcement techniques has proven to be a very cost effective construction method.


2.Biaxial geocells

In pavement base reinforcement applications, the design intent is to increase the load-bearing capacity of the existing roadbed by including one or more layers of geogrid on top. The inclusion of biaxial geogrids typically allows for a reduction in granular subgrade thickness.

In some cases, it may be necessary to increase the service life of the pavement by including a geogrid that fixes the depth of the pavement.

3.Asphalt Geocells

Vehicle traffic loads on asphalt and concrete pavements, including temperature changes, can impose higher stresses/strains on the pavement, leading to the development and propagation of reflective cracks. The primary function of asphalt geogrids in the construction and rehabilitation of road pavements is to reduce the amount of cracking in the new asphalt layer. In addition, it can provide a barrier to prevent top-down water from entering the subgrade and/or roadbed.

4.Common applications of geocells are as follows.

Foundation/roadbed and track ballast reinforcement

Construction of unpaved and paved roads

50mm 75mm 100mm height HDPE geocell for driveway

50mm 75mm 100mm height HDPE geocell for driveway Geocell for Driveway   Description: Geocell was used on the civil engineering community in the early 1980’s. In the commercial market, geocells solve many site problems – from steep slopes to shorelines and channels to multi-layered vegetated retaining walls, mining, oil & gas, and wind access roads, railroads, ports, dams and landfills. When filled with granular materials, Geocell   creates a three dimensional erosion barrier and structural bridge that uniformly distributes weight-bearing loads. The cellular nature of Geocell enhances drainage and prevents build-up of hydrostatic pressure. HDPE geocell   Application: 1.stabling railway/driveway bed 2.Stabling road soft ground treatment 3.withstanding lad capacities guard against the retaining wall 4.shallow water river courses to govern 5.pipelines and sewer's structural supports 6. prevent the landslide and the load bearing gravity mixed style retaining wall 7.independent walls

Geo Liners for Decorative Ponds

Geo liners for decorative ponds help to enhance the beauty and value of your property. Whether the pond will be for aesthetics, attracting wildlife, fishing, or lacing up your skates in the winter; there are many factors to consider when designing and building your dream pond.   Area and Depth Depending on the climate and intended use of your constructed pond, depth may be more of a factor than most people realize. If the pond will be constructed in a climate with four seasons and is intended to maintain fish stock; certain areas, depths, and slopes are suggested to allow aquatic life to thrive. For a vibrant fish population or cool swimming hole, a minimum pond area of 1/2 to 1 acre is recommended, with as much as the pond as possible reaching a depth of 15 feet and side slopes at 1:3 for fish habitat and 1:4 for swimming access. This combination of depth and relatively steep side slopes help reduce aquatic plant growth. An irregular shoreline is also helpful for fishery habitat. If

Freshwater Aquaculture and Geomembrane Liners

Recent concerns and regulations regarding wild harvesting and marine populations have pushed aquaculture to the forefront of the field of providing fish and aquatic life to meet growing demand. The idea of raising and rearing fish, shellfish and other aquatic organisms in a controlled environment appeals to many because of the amount of oversight that may exist in such a space. However, aquaculture operators who wish to undertake or expand their foothold should ensure that their plans include environmental considerations and the proper use of   geomembrane liners .   Aquaculture Aquaculture is defined as the propagation, rearing and harvesting of organisms in all types of water environments. This includes algae, fish and shellfish, such as shrimp. The increased market demand for seafood, coupled with technological developments, has created a growing interest in aquaculture. Aquaculture products can be used for food or other commercial products, to replenish wild populations, or to rebu
