Geocell For Slope Protection
Description:
Geocell is a soil reinforcement and erosion protection material with honeycomb texture and three-dimensional structure, made of high-density polyethylene alloy. It is generally used on sloping surfaces to prevent soil loss that may occur due to water and wind. The reason why it is produced in a perforated structure is fast drainage and easy compression of the filling material. Cells adhered with special ultrasonic welding technology in the factory are sent to the field in strips.
Functions of Geocell
Functioning by filling the pores with a three-dimensional honeycomb structure, the geocell cellular confinement system offers alternative solutions to geogrid material. Working with the logic of geogrid, geocell undertakes the tasks of reinforcement of geogrids on the ground and reinforcement on retaining walls. Differently, cellular confinement systems work by filling the cellular fillings.
Advantages of Geocell Cellular Confinement System
Geocell cellular confinement systems applications have many advantages. We may list these advantages as follows;
It allows the use of natural filling materials instead of expensive filling materials in the application area.
In addition to being economical, it provides more than 50% reduction in filling depth compared to classical methods.
Three-dimensional cells ensure the compression of the filling material, increasing the bearing capacity and it prevents collapses.
It plays an important role in increasing the hardness ratio of the structural filling and thus gains strength.
Due to its structure, it provides a natural drainage structure, while at the same time it prevents the filling material from being damaged by hydraulic flows.
Application:
Base Stabilization
GeoCell is a confinement system that performs better than conventional crushed stone sections, and it provides an expedient construction technique for access roads over soft ground without being adversely affected by wet weather conditions. GeoCell can also be used to strengthen paved areas.
Slope Reinforcement
On slope applications, GeoCell can be filled with angular rock, concrete or with vegetated soil. The cells confine the infill material, creating a stable layer protecting the slope from erosion. GeoCell is a flexible system that will contour to the subgrade of a slope, reducing preparation time. When filled with vegetated soil or rock, the system is permeable - reducing water runoff.
Channel Protection
GeoCell can be installed on slopes as steep as 60 degrees and on channels with flow velocities greater than 25 ft/s (7.6 m/s), depending on infill material. Angular rock is used for velocities up to 10 ft/s (3 m/s), vegetated soil up to 20 ft/s (6 m/s) and concrete for velocities greater than 20 ft/s (6 m/s).
GeoCell can be used for both cut and fill applications on retaining walls. The flexible HDPE panels are custom made to the front to back dimensions required by the project engineer. GeoCell can be easily installed around curves, pipes or other structures. The panels are constructed with the front facing strip colored green or tan to blend in with the surroundings. GeoCell panels can be stacked to create a 90 degree wall, or they can be stair stepped at every layer to create exposed cell for vegetation. HONGXIANG™ GeoCell is the perfect green wall solution.
