Why do driveways need reinforcement?

Before we can understand what a geocell is, we first need to understand why a driveway needs to be reinforced.

A common misconception is that because driveways are one strong material over the next, they are strong enough to serve their purpose. This may seem logical, but it is not.

First, driveway materials are not actually strong. Because the driveway is built from several layers of aggregate stone and compacted sand, there are actually tiny air pockets throughout the base of the driveway. This is necessary because without these voids, there would be no way for water to drain back into the soil.

When these voids are closed with time and wear, we get what is called a "compacted" layer. This reduces the number of gaps in the substrate, making it more difficult for water to drain out in heavy rain. If the drainage is too poor, water can start to pool on (or under) the driveway, causing a host of problems, from eroding materials to sinking foundations.

This is where geocells can help.

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...

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...

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....
