Product Introduction:
Silknet Geocell is a honeycomb-shaped three-dimensional grid structure formed by ultrasonic welding, high-frequency welding or riveting of high-strength polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) sheets. When unfolded, it presents a three-dimensional honeycomb shape and can be filled with materials such as earth and stone, concrete or vegetation to form a composite structure with high rigidity and lateral constraint capability.
Characteristics
1.Three-Dimensional Structure
When expanded, geocells form a three-dimensional network structure that provides lateral restraint to limit the displacement of filled materials, enhancing the overall integrity of the soil. This structure effectively distributes loads and reduces differential settlement.
2.High Strength and Durability
Manufactured from high-strength polymeric materials (e.g., HDPE, PP), geocells exhibit excellent tensile and compressive strength, as well as resistance to aging. They can withstand long-term loads and harsh environmental conditions, making them suitable for various challenging applications.
3.Lightweight and Easy to Install
Geocells are lightweight, facilitating convenient transportation and installation. Once deployed, they can be directly filled with materials, enabling high construction efficiency, especially in projects with complex terrain or limited workspace.
4.High Adaptability
The height, dimensions, and shape of geocells can be customized to meet specific engineering requirements, accommodating diverse geological conditions and load demands. They are widely applicable in scenarios such as soft soil foundation treatment, slope stabilization, and abutment backfilling.
5.Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Effective
The materials used in geocells are recyclable, minimizing environmental impact. By reducing earth excavation and material consumption, they lower construction costs while shortening project durations.
6.Drainage and Permeability
Geocell sheets can be designed as permeable structures to facilitate drainage, thereby mitigating water pressure effects on the soil and enhancing the long-term stability of the project.
