HDPE Geocell
HDPE Geocell comprises High-density polyethylene (HDPE) which is joined together by welding to ensure it is consistent. It is cellular confinement that is three-dimensional, has a high permeability, and strength, uses cellular confinement technology to disperse the weight to significantly over a 75% reduction in sub-base pressure.
Advantages Of HDPE Geocell
· Cost Effective – HDPE Geocell cuts down the cost of onsite materials and decreases the structural layer thus cutting down on costs.
· Sustainable – It makes it possible for the reduction of nonrenewable resources by creating a surface that is vegetative and permeable.HDPE Geocells can reduce the carbon footprint.
· Fast Installation – HDPE Geocell is easy and quick to install as compared to other Geocell products thus saving time and reducing maintenance costs.
· Durable – It has a high tensile strength which increases its lifetime and ensures projects serve their purpose.
· Multi-Purpose – HDPE Geocell is used in a variety of ways such as reinforcement of slopes, stabilization of bases, and channel protection.
How HDPE Geocell Works
HDPE material is corrosion-resistant.The walls of the HDPE Geocell are perforated to allow for the flow of water through the entire system. Geocell utilises cellular confinement technology to effectively disperse the weight, thereby reducing sub-base pressure to an appreciable degree. Geocell utilises cellular confinement technology to effectively disperse the weight, thereby significantly reducing sub-base pressure. The crushed pavement is filled with gravel and sand, which increases its load-bearing capacity and stability.
HDPE Geocell Production Process
The production process of HDPE geocell entails the following steps:
- Sourcing of HDPE resin
- Formation of the geocell
- Embossing of the geocell
- Cutting of the geocell sheet
- Honeycomb structure punching
- Ultrasonic welding of the HDPE geocell
- Testing the physical performance of the HDPE geocell
- Packing and loading the HDPE geocell
HDPE Geocell Installation Process
HDPE geocell installation process entails the following steps:
· Base Preparation – Prepare the site to use by eliminating all debris, vegetative cover, and any unnecessary soil from the area where the HDPE geocell will be placed. Replace the soil that is removed using materials that are accepted and complete any necessary earthwork.
· Deploy Hdpe Geocell – Locate the HDPE geocell section in the direction of the slope and ensure that the panels used suit the size of the slope. Anchor the top part of the HDPE geocell to the upper part of the slope and stretch it until it fits well.
· Infill Material – The material used for filling is chosen according to the soil properties and the needs of the project. You should fill the HDPE geocell with caution using a dump truck or front-end loader as the cells might be damaged by excess drop height.
Ensure that the infill material is just a little higher than the HDPE geocells to give room for compacting and settling. Finally, you should compact the HDPE geocell to suit the design desired for your project.
· Vegetation – Vegetation is used in the project to protect the topsoil from erosion due to rain. You can sow different types of grass to produce this vegetation system.
Application Of HDPE Geocell
· Slope Erosion Control – HDPE geocell forms a stable environment to ensure the long-term sustainability of materials used for the embankment. The cells consolidate the infill material in a way that forms a stable layer that protects the slope against erosion.
· Construction Platforms – HDPE geocell is used as reinforcement during construction to reinforce stability and ensure durability.
· Road Sub-Base Stabilization – It helps in the stabilization of roads in a way that protects them against soil erosion and gives them a defined structure.
· Tree Root Protection – HDPE geocell makes sure that underground roots are protected from heavy vehicles by stabilizing the ground.
· Shorelines – HDPE geocell gives great solutions for the prevention of erosion problems which result from wave action, surface flow, and water contact.
