Unlocking the Potential of Geocell Technology for Modern Construction
In the world of civil engineering and infrastructure we are constantly seeing new ideas to solve problems such as lack of stability in poor soils, ways to reduce cost is tops on any project’s list and how to take out time. One such revolutionary material is the geocell, an efficient and versatile material used in a wide range of applications with Geocell road being one of them. Geocells are a honeycomb shaped structure constructed of high density polyethylene (HDPE) with soil, rock or concrete fill materials to increase load support capacity. With increasing urbanization and the insatiable interests for high standard infrastructure, it is essential that geocell technology be incorporated into the design portfolio of an engineer or contractor as a viable methodological alternative for construction projects. What Is Geocell Technology? Geocell technology is based on the use of three-dimensional honeycomb-like structures (geo-cells) in order to increase the bearing capacity of soil. These...
