Black Color Geocell
Black Color Geocell is a honeycomb three-dimensional cell structure which confines the filled compacted soil material, decreases lateral movement of soil particles and distributes the load over a large area of foundation soil. It is widely used in railways and roads.
PP, PET and HDPE geocell strips have different tensile properties due to their production process. The elongation during the tension process is sensitive to temperature change.
Application
Geocell is a new type of high strength geosynthetics. Its three-dimensional honeycomb structure can be filled in with soil, macadam and concrete to reinforce the material. It is easy to deploy, and can be used for curved sections. It can also reduce foundation concrete costs and save construction time.
Erosion is a major problem on sloped grounds and in river banks. When erosion occurs, it can destroy the surrounding environment and cause serious problems. The use of geocells can help prevent this erosion. Geocells keep the filler in place and prevent it from moving. This can reduce the erosion and protect the environment and surrounding areas.
In addition to reducing erosion, geocells can be used to stabilize embankments and shorelines. When combined with vegetation, geocells can protect shorelines from mild wave and tidal forces. The confinement of the Geoweb system allows less expensive materials to be used, and can be built on steeper slopes than unconfined slopes.
Besides this, geocells can be used to strengthen paved roads and highways. When in-filled with sand, geocells can increase the strength of the subgrade, which reduces the settlement of the roadbed and the formation of pot-holes. This can significantly prolong the life of paved roads and highways. It can also reduce maintenance costs and downtime due to traffic disruption. It can be easily installed and removed as the need arises, which is an important benefit for road owners.
Specifications
Black Color Geocell is a three-dimensional, expandable system fabricated from HDPE strips that are ultrasonically bonded together to form an extremely strong configuration. The system ships in compacted Black Color Geocell panel form and is easily expanded to its final shape and dimensions on-site. It enables the use of economical, readily available materials that would otherwise require more expensive construction techniques and reduces project costs by maximizing site material reuse.
The cellular confinement system works by confining loose and poorly compacted soils, increasing structural strength and locking in materials for erosion control. The cell walls are permeable to water and air, allowing for a wide range of infill materials. Envirogrid GeoCell can be used for load support, slope protection and lining of channels, lagoons, and landfills.
The cells are close-connected, forming a honeycomb-like structure that can be filled with various fill materials. The perforations and textured surface increase the friction angle between aggregate infill and the cell wall, generating better aggregate lockup and greater overall load distribution. The textured surface also reduces downslope sliding forces, resulting in a more stable system. Geocell is available in both perforated and non-perforated types. The perforated type facilitates parallel slope drainage, while the non-perforated allows for full utilization of infill material. This product is easy to transport, and is available in black, green, gray, sand, and yellow colors.
Advantages
Without geocells, road materials will be beaten down and spread out over time from heavy traffic and environmental factors like weather. The walls of each cell confine the soil in place, preventing this from happening and keeping roads stable. The cells also help distribute the weight of vehicles and machinery evenly across a larger surface area, protecting the soil underneath.
Geocells can be in-filled with angular rock, vegetated soil or concrete to stabilize slopes and channels. They provide a stable base that reduces the need for foundation concrete, which helps reduce construction costs. They are also permeable, allowing water to pass through and slowing flow, reducing the risk of erosion.
The use of geocells on road construction projects is growing in popularity because it helps prevent pavement from wearing out over time. This averts the need for maintenance and repairs, saving time and money in the long run. In addition, the use of geocells improves the strength of the pavement, reducing settlements and abrasion which contribute to road deterioration.
The cellular confinement system of geocells is versatile and sustainable, making it a valuable addition to civil engineering projects. It can be used to reduce erosion, stabilize soil, protect channels and provide structural reinforcement for load support roads and earth retention. This is especially useful in projects with steep slopes and unstable ground.
Requirements
Geo Cell is a strong, lightweight 3-D cellular confinement system fabricated from permeable geotextile fabric. It ships in compacted panels and expands on-site into a honeycomb-like structure that can be filled with sand, soil or other site material. This flexible system enables a range of infill materials, reducing project costs.
The patented Geo Cell technology has several advantages over other geosynthetic cellular geocell factory confinement systems. It has a more uniform, more stable shape and is easily constructed with less equipment and labor than other cellular confinement systems. In addition, it can be installed on steep slopes with a high degree of stability. The Geo Cell’s perforations and textured surface increase aggregate infill friction, resulting in better load distribution. The perforations also facilitate parallel slope drainage, further reducing downslope sliding forces and increasing the stability of the system.
Unlike articulating block or bag systems, the Geo Cell requires no foundation concrete and therefore reduces construction costs and shortens project durations. It also provides a more flexible and sustainable solution for erosion control by promoting vegetative growth along the embankments, preventing soil loss and reducing the potential damage from wave or tidal action.
It is made of a new type of high strength geosynthetic, which is popular both domestic and abroad. It is a three-dimensional network structure welded by high-strength HDPE sheets through ultrasonic welding. The geocell can be filled in with a variety of materials, including soil, macadam and concrete. It is easy to fold and convenient for transportation.
