HDPE Geocell refers to the Cellular Confinement System, which is a great geosynthetic erosion control system that confines the desired infill and resists downward migration of material due to hydraulic flows. It is widely used for Slope Erosion Protection, earth protection, load support, and channel protection.
Due to its engineered, expandable, durable, high density polyethylene honeycomb structure backed by highly chemical and water resistant features, the Cellular Confinement System provides excellent protection for challenging slopes against erosion while ensuring Slope Stabilisation at all time. Apart from Slope Protection, the cellular Confinement System with semi rigid surface provides significant load support for road and yards by reducing fill thickness considerably. Also, it also serves as a great channel protection system by protecting the channel embarkments frin severe erosion conditions and continuous flow it confines desired infill and resist downward migration of material due to hydraulic flows. It is widely used for earth protection, load support and channel protection.
What is a Cellular Confinement System?
A 3D cellular confinement system is a honeycomb geocell structure created by the 3D interaction of soil, cell walls and geometry. Geocell cellular confinement system maintains soil compaction, thereby increasing the structural strength of the infill and pavement layer.
The key geocell reinforcement mechanisms are lateral and vertical cellular confinement, beam effect and improved load distribution. When the confined soil within a geocell is subjected to loading, it causes lateral stresses on the cell walls. The 3D zone of cellular confinement reduces the lateral movement of soil particles while vertical loading on the contained infill results in high lateral stress and resistance on the cell-soil interface.
