Geo Cell

VT Geocell  is a lightweight, but strong, three-dimensional honeycomb shaped cellular confinement system. It can be used as a foundation reinforcement mat for improvement of load bearing capacities of weak soils and as an erosion control barrier for slope surfaces. As a load support system,  effectively improves the load carrying capacities of weak soils.

Geocells also known as cellular confinement systems are three dimensional honey comb like structures made from various materials such as high density polyethylene HDPE polypropylene PP or polyester They are used in civil engineering and construction for soil stabilization erosion control slope protection and retaining wall construction

Geocells are typically manufactured as interconnected cells or panels that can be expanded onsite and filled with soil aggregate or concrete Once filled they create a stable and load bearing structure that helps to confine the material within providing reinforcement and support to the soil or other fill material

Some key features and benefits of geocells include

Soil Reinforcement Geocells improve the load bearing capacity of soil by confining it within the cells increasing its shear strength and stability

Erosion Control They can be used to prevent soil erosion on slopes embankments and shorelines by stabilizing the soil and providing protection against water flow and surface erosion

Slope Protection Geocells are effective in preventing soil erosion and promoting vegetation growth on steep slopes offering stability and erosion control

Retaining Walls Geocells can be used to construct gravity retaining walls or reinforce existing structures providing structural support and stability

Cost Effective Geocells offer a cost effective solution for soil stabilization and erosion control compared to traditional methods such as concrete retaining walls or riprap

Environmental Benefits They promote vegetation growth when filled with topsoil aiding in ecological restoration efforts Additionally some geocell materials are recyclable contributing to environmental sustainability

Overall geocells are versatile and adaptable solutions for a wide range of civil engineering and geo technical applications offering both structural stability and environmental benefits
