Geocell Slope

The Geocell grid for slope protection is an effective and economical solution to challenging slope-surface stability problems. It can confine and reinforces the upper soil layer and infill controlling down-slope movement and slippage due to hydrodynamic and gravitational forces, and meet a wide range of performance and aesthetic requirements with select infill.

Geocells along with anchoring techniques ensure the long-term stability of slopes using vegetated topsoil, aggregate, or concrete surfacing. The enhanced drainage, frictional forces, and cell-soil-plant interaction prevents downslope movement and limit the impact of raindrops, channeling, and hydraulic shear stresses.

Geocell effectively controls erosion as the cells prevent themovement of the infill. The confined infill, therefore, acts as a counterweight on sloped areas and improves stability. Perforations in the 3D cellular confinement system allow the passage of water, nutrients, and soil organisms. This encourages plant growth and root interlock, which further stabilizes the slope and soil mass, and facilitates landscape rehabilitation.
