Geocells
What Are Geocells Used For?
Geocells are versatile solutions used for soil stabilization in various civil engineering applications. They provide reliable support for load distribution, slope stabilization, erosion control, channel protection, and retaining wall reinforcement.
- Paved roads: Geocells stabilize the base layer, minimizing settlement and extending pavement life.
- Unpaved roads: They reinforce the surface, preventing rutting and increasing durability.
- Slopes & embankments: Geocells confine soil to maintain long-term stability.
- Retaining walls: They enhance structural integrity, even on weak subgrades.
- Environmental benefits: Geocells support vegetation growth, improve stormwater infiltration, and reduce soil loss.
Their adaptability makes them a faster, cost-effective alternative to traditional methods, especially in challenging terrain.
How Do Geocells Stabilize Soil?
Geocells form a 3D honeycomb-like structure that confines and reinforces loose soils. This network effectively distributes loads and prevents lateral movement, making it ideal for:
- Erosion control on slopes,
- Rapid construction of unpaved roads and retaining walls,
- Stormwater management in channels.
The Original Geocell System by Presto Geosystems
Invented in the late 1970s, the GEOWEB® Geocell System from Presto Geosystems remains the industry leader. We at iGG are the exclusive distributor for German-speaking countries. The GEOWEB® system is made of robust HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and offers maximum performance, durability and resilience - even under extreme conditions.
Proudly made in the USA, GEOWEB is the most complete geocell system on the market, offering engineered components for superior performance and faster installation.
