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.

Geomembrane Liners for Hydroelectric Power Plants

  In a world where "going green" is the cool thing to do, harnessing water power in the form of hydroelectricity is the largest source of clean, renewable energy available today. Hydroelectric power is reported to account for 52% of renewable energy generation in the U.S. and 7% of total electricity generation, and failure to achieve reliable and consistent water flow could leave millions of people stranded. The various types of hydroelectric plants in use today each have their own unique geomembrane uses to assist in the protection and delivery of water within their systems, helping to more efficiently provide green energy to the public.   Impoundment The most common form of hydropower generation is the impoundment behind a dam. The reservoir created by the dam is the key to this system. This harnessed water flows through a turbine and connects to a generator, which in turn generates electricity and connects to the consumer. Containing as much water as possible and directing...

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....

What is the Basic Principle of a Geocell?

The reason why the geocell has excellent functions and has attracted the attention of the engineering community, we should also start with its basic principles. When describing its principle in foreign literature, it is called "a honeycomb three-dimensional confinement system, which can significantly improve the performance of ordinary filling materials in load-bearing and pest control applications in a large range." Its key principle is three-dimensional confinement. As a   Geocell Manufacturer , share with you. Geocell For Slope Protection Everyone knows that when a car is driving on the desert, it will press two deep tracks, the pressed part sinks deeply, and the two sides of the track will bulge high. If the vehicle behind continues to advance along the rut, the sinking part will sink further, and the bulging part will bulge further, until the bulging part hits the chassis of the car, and the sinking rut buries most of the wheels, making it impossible to move forward. The...
