Geocell Slope & Ground Stabilization Products

Geocell Erosion Control Products

It provides site access for:

• Heavy, light, or industrial vehicles
• Base Reduction
• Improved entrance over poor soil
• Increased longevity
• Protection of tree roots
• Highways

Slope Protection

This cellular structure is excellent for enhancing erosion resistance on steep, unstable areas or slopes subjected to severe hydraulic or mechanical pressures. Different cell depths and diameters offer cost-efficient options for protecting slopes up to 1:1 (45 degrees).

Applications include:

• Landfills
• Mining
• Highways
• Bridge abutments
• Embankments

Flood and Water Control

The use of cellular confinement systems can significantly reduce the labor and material costs associated with traditional sandbag methods. These cells are easy to construct, rugged, and exceptionally strong, capable of withstanding various water volumes. They can be transported easily and stored for long periods without deteriorating.

Applications include:

• Flood control barriers
• Levee construction and repair

Gun Firing Range Protection Walls

These walls, made entirely of textile cellular containment systems, are ideal for constructing structures from earth, sand, and other materials without metal or plastic components, reducing ricochet hazards. TYPAR GeoCell is perfect for small arms and close-quarter battle ranges, offering realistic training environments and protection within the complex.

Applications include:

• Firing range walls
• Gun clubs
• Ballistics and blast protection
• Vehicle barriers
• Force protection

Construction Erosion & Sediment Control

Geocells prevent topsoil erosion, protect plantings, and control sediment in regulated areas. The heavy-duty geotextile fabric adapts to terrain, providing structural durability and strength. These systems are cost-efficient and reusable, ideal for preventing mudslides and acting as debris flow barriers.

Applications include:

• Sediment pond berms
• Check dams
• Filter screens for pond spillways
• Mulch berms
• Sediment trap filter berms
• Silt screening
• De-watering filters

Mining Containment

Geocells offer secondary containment solutions, essential for fracking and clean coal production sites. They reduce the site’s footprint, minimize environmental impacts, and improve return on investment by reducing the cut and fill needed to level a site. Proven effective by the Army Corps of Engineers and Military applications, they ensure 100% containment during catastrophic failures.

Geocells: Uses and Typical Installation Information

Geocells are vinyl web structures placed on the ground to provide structural support and stability when filled with soil or aggregate material. They are commonly used for driveways, roads, and soil stabilization. This article explains geocells, their functions, uses, and installation methods.

What Is a Geocell?

A geocell, also known as a cellular confinement system, is an in-ground support system used to reinforce roads and other surfaces, preventing significant ground shifts and providing additional support to extend the surface’s longevity.

How Do Geocells Work?

Geocells use a honeycomb shape filled with soil, sand, rock, gravel, or concrete. Their flexibility allows them to support heavy loads without damage, distributing the weight across the ground and filler material, thus maintaining the ground’s integrity.

What Are Geocells Used For?

Geocells serve multiple purposes, including:

• Erosion control: Preventing soil erosion on steep slopes.
• Channel protection: Lining channels and hydraulic structures.
• Structural reinforcement: Reinforcing railroads and other stru
