Innovative Site Solutions for Civil Engineering and Construction Projects When faced with challenging site conditions—whether it’s weak soils, steep slopes, or erosion-prone channels—finding an efficient, long-term solution that minimizes maintenance is essential. Geocells offer just that. These innovative cellular confinement systems (CCS) are a proven solution for load support, retaining walls, slope stabilization, and channel protection applications. Geocells not only improve soil stability but also contribute to eco-friendly, sustainable project designs. Geocells are three-dimensional, honeycomb-like structures typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). By confining and reinforcing infill materials like soil/vegetation, sand, gravel or concrete, geocells create a stable, load-bearing surface. This cellular system prevents soil movement and erosion, making geocells a versatile solution for stabilizing weak soils and supporting structures such as roads, retaining walls, slopes, and channels. How Geocells Work The core function of geocells is to create a grid of interconnected cells that confine and stabilize infill materials. This CCS strengthens the underlying soil and distributes loads more evenly, preventing the movement of infill under pressure. In load support applications—such as roads, parking areas, or driveways—geocells act like a semi-rigid slab. The geocell structure increases the load distribution angle and spreads vertical stresses over a larger area, which… Read more »
