Cellular containment system.
Plantcoprotec StableCells® Geocells are cellular containment systems that were created as a durable and easy to use material for reinforcing soil structures from the damage caused by traffic and to counter the effects of soil erosion.
They have multiple applications including:
Made from HDPE, the cells are supplied in collapsed form enabling ease of handling and cost effective storage on site. When expanded the cells can be filled easily with the required material depending on the project specification.
The cells unique design impedes lateral movement of the infill material, which increases structural strength and locks in the infill material for erosion protection and improved load distribution. In addition, the cell walls are perforated to allow water and airflow through the system, which enables the development of a root zone between cells for vegetated applications.
Because of the weight distribution that the cells create, less rutting occurs in the surface materials above, this in turn means a reduced requirement overall of infill material leading to considerable savings for the overall project.
History of Geocells
Engineers created and developed Geocells to protect and stabilize various conditions of the ground world-wide during the late 1970s and early 1980s. In the early stages of Geocell development, their application was significantly different than what we see today. Originally Geocells were created primarily to stabilize sand roads for transporting military grade vehicles.
Later, the U.S Army in collaboration with various manufacturers developed a much stronger grid that would be able to maintain even more weight for military applications. The original Geocells were tested in Florida by building sand roads out of the material, while the newer cells were tested by trafficking many vehicles across their makeshift road. Even with many military-grade vehicles, the cells showed no signs of distress.
Over subsequent years, the product has become more refined as the demand for Geocells increased, mostly for bigger and more diverse projects. Since the 1980s, Geocells have gained considerable popularity around the world, with their usage extended to many different applications outside that of the military due to their unique design and functionality.
