Introduction

Plastic Geocell are made of ultrasonically-welded high density polyethylene(HDPE)and can be expanded to form honeycomb structure.Cells are then filled with readily available granular materials and compacted.Geocell solution means to challenge soil stability problems in lots of applications therougn the high strength network of interconnected cells.

Properties Of Plastic Geocell

*100% original HDPE

*Seam peel strength above 14.2kN/m

*Geocell can be customized by requirement on color,height,welding distance and thickness etc

*Creates a stiff mattress or slab to distribute the load over a wider area

*Reduces punching of soft soil

*Increase shear resistance and bearing capacity

*Decreases deformation

Advantages Of Plastic Geocell

*It is retractile contractible,constructed into 3D mesh.They can be with strong lateral limitations and degree structure when filled with soil,gravel or any loose materials

*It has the features of light weight,wear resistance,stable chemical performance,anti photo-oxidation,acid and alkali resistance,suitable for different soil and desert conditions

*It has high level sidewise restriction,anti-skid and antidefonnation capacity,which enhance the subgrade effective and distributed loading

*It can meet different engineering needs by changing it’s depth and bonded ranges.The sections are available in various cell sizes,cell depths and section lengths

*It is with convenient connection structure,which is easy to transport and construct

Application Of Plastic Geocell

*Retaining walls

Bioengineered walls,steepened embankments,dike and levee protection,culvert headwalls,landscape development walls,vegetated channel structures,sound barriers

*Load support

Site access roads,permeable,load-supporting surfaces,roadway shoulders,intermodal/port facilities,transportation/storage yards,stabilized drainage layer,trails and walkways,track ballast and subballast structures,stabilized base for asphalt or modular block pavements,boat ramps/low water crossings,foundation mattresses and pipeline protection

*Slope protection

Cut or fill embankment slopes,shoreline revetments,abutment protection,stormwater/waste water lagoons,containment dikes and levees,geomembrane protection,landfill linings and cover,dam faces and spillways

*Channel protection

Swales and drainage ditches,stormwater diversion or containment,process water channels or containment,spillways/down chutes/drop structures,culvert outfills,intermittent or continuous/low-to-high flow channels
