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.

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

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

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
