StrataWeb - Geocell
Geocell technology, exemplified by the groundbreaking StrataWeb® system, harnesses the inherent strength of the three-dimensional honeycomb structure found in nature. Made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), this innovative approach to soil reinforcement tackles some of the most complex civil engineering problems, including load support over soft soils, erosion control on steep slopes, and the lining of lagoons, drainage channels, and landfills. StrataWeb® utilizes interconnected strips of polymer, meticulously welded together at intervals to form a robust and flexible three-dimensional honeycomb mattress.
The geocell’s cellular confinement system offers a multitude of benefits across various applications. In terms of load support, it excels in distributing compressive and tensile stresses, significantly enhancing the load-bearing capacities of weak soil foundations. Compared to conventional geosynthetic or geogrid products, geocell provides superior stability and load support capacity, making it ideal for infrastructure projects such as roads, parking lots, and industrial yards.
Beyond load support, the HDPE based StrataWeb® technology is highly effective in erosion control, slope liner protection, and drainage/canal lining. The cellular structure of geocell efficiently confines infill material, preventing its spreading and erosion on slopes. This results in enhanced slope stability, reduced soil erosion, and preserved landscape integrity. Additionally, the interconnected cells of this system facilitate proper water drainage, mitigating the risk of clogging in drainage channels and ensuring efficient water flow in canals.
With its versatility and sustainable advantages, geocell technology, complemented by the use of geomembranes, provides a comprehensive solution for soil erosion challenges and various civil engineering needs. By incorporating StrataWeb®, engineers can achieve superior load support, erosion control, slope liner protection, and efficient drainage/canal lining, leading to durable and environmentally friendly solutions for infrastructure projects.
