GeoGlobe Europe GeoCells
Geosynthetic geocells are three-dimensional lightweight and flexible material made of ultrasonically bonded polyethylene strips, to form a shape of honeycomb. This design enables the geocells to confine material and prevent its movement sideways. This function finds its way into slope and channels stabilization, retaining walls, landfills and reservoirs stabilization, load support for infrastructure etc. The geocells improve the load-bearing capacity of the soil by limiting its lateral motion under pressure of loads. They also limit the erosion processes by preventing materials from sliding down on slopes of various inclines.
The geocells allow for the use of various infill materials – soil, sand, humus, gravel, graded crushed stones, RAP, concrete, wooden chips, recycled tires, etc. - thus reducing the need to haul expensive building materials.
