What is a geocell?

Geocells are cellular closure systems that are used as a simple yet durable material for stabilization and protection. Honeycomb closure systems effectively maintain soil compaction and, by doing so, create a stronger structure for the fill and pavement.

The three-dimensional, honeycomb design of the cells ensures that Geocell is strong and durable. This form creates a structure that improves load distribution. The cell is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and is used to stabilize weak or unstable soils. This ability is due to its ability to reduce the lateral movement of soil particles while vertically loading the contained fill.

In addition to stability, geocells provide a mattress effect and improve the elasticity of the material. The cells have high elastic stiffness and high tensile strength, and because of this they improve the load distribution of the product.

Due to the weight distribution produced by the cells, less rutting occurs in the surface material above. This also reduces the amount of particle filler required. The design of the cells allows the fill to be imported from local sources, which also allows the use of fill from marginal soils.

Finally, the geocells improve the asphalt layer of the product, which leads to a number of benefits. The first is the ability to use less asphalt, due to the longer life of the cells than regular asphalt. Secondly, Geocells improve the module of adjacent layers as vertical forces are transferred to the geogrid through passive resistance. The ability to use Geocells greatly contributes to savings in subgrade and subgrade, directly impacting user maintenance and costs.

Summing up

More often than not, the initial cost of adding a Geocell Driveway is worth it in the long run. Geocells offer unparalleled strength and longevity in climates where severe weather is a frequent or seasonal occurrence.

What Is a Dimpled Drainage Matting?

What Is a Dimpled Drainage Matting? Most  dimpled drainage matting  consist of a polypropylene or high-density polyethylene  sheet, molded into a series of raised knobs, or dimples. Polyethylene dimpled drainage mat helps water flow away from the foundation. Without it, water can stay trapped against the concrete or pool at the bottom. Drainage mats come with a dimpled design that lets water accumulate and flow away, creating an air gap. When a dimple mat is placed against a concrete wall, the dimples make the plastic stand out from the wall, leaving a free-draining air space between the plastic and the concrete. If any water reaches this air space, it easily flows to the bottom of the dimple mat. As water flows, it picks up small particles of silt and soil. When water stops moving—like when it reaches a concrete wall—silt and soil will accumulate, further increasing the pressure against the foundation. A drainage ma's membrane protects the mat from sediment clogging...

What are the Engineering Applications of Geocells?

  As a   Geocell Manufacturer , share with you. Geocell for Load Support 1. Deal with half-filled and half-cut subgrade When building an embankment on a slope where the natural slope of the ground is steeper than 1:5, the embankment base should be dug steps, and the width of the steps should not be less than 1M. When the road is built or rebuilt in phases and the road is widened, the junction of the new and old subgrade fill slopes should be opened. For digging steps, the width of the high-grade highway steps is generally 2M, and the geocell is laid on the horizontal surface of each step, and the geocell’s own elevation confinement reinforcement effect is used to better solve the problem of uneven settlement. 2. Roadbed in sandy areas Low embankments should be the main roadbed in sandy areas, and the filling height is generally not less than 0.3M. Due to the professional requirements for low roadbeds and heavy loads in sandy areas, the use of geocells can limit loose fillers. ...

What are the Precautions For Geogrid Transportation And Storage?

As a   Geocell Supplier , share with you. Geogrid is a material often seen in various building constructions, and its demand is still very large. How to store and transport the purchased materials is also a problem that customers care about. Geocell for Load Support 1. Storage of geogrid. Geogrid is a geosynthetic material produced from unique construction materials such as polypropylene and polyethylene. It has the disadvantage of being easy to age when exposed to ultraviolet light. Therefore, steel-plastic geogrid reinforced grids should be stacked in a room with natural ventilation and light isolation; The total time for the accumulation of the reinforcement is not more than 3 months. If the accumulation time is too long, it needs to be inspected again; when paving, attention should be paid to reduce the time of direct exposure to natural light to avoid aging. 2. Engineering construction of reinforcement. In order to prevent Geshan from being damaged at the construction site, a ...
