Overview of StrataWeb® Geocell
Geocell technology, exemplified by the groundbreaking StrataWeb® system, harnesses the inherent strength of the three-dimensional honeycomb structure found in nature. This innovative approach to soil reinforcement tackles some of the most complex civil engineering problems, including load support over soft soils, erosion control on steep slopes, and the lining of lagoons, drainage channels, and landfills. StrataWeb® utilizes interconnected strips of polymer, meticulously welded together at intervals to form a robust and flexible three-dimensional honeycomb mattress.
The geocell’s cellular confinement system offers a multitude of benefits across various applications. In terms of load support, it excels in distributing compressive and tensile stresses, significantly enhancing the load-bearing capacities of weak soil foundations. Compared to conventional geosynthetic or geogrid products, geocell provides superior stability and load support capacity, making it ideal for infrastructure projects such as roads, parking lots, and industrial yards.
Beyond load support, geocell technology is highly effective in erosion control, slope liner protection, and drainage/canal lining. The cellular structure of geocell efficiently confines infill material, preventing its spreading and erosion on slopes. This results in enhanced slope stability, reduced soil erosion, and preserved landscape integrity. Additionally, the interconnected cells of the geocell system facilitate proper water drainage, mitigating the risk of clogging in drainage channels and ensuring efficient water flow in canals.
With its versatility and sustainable advantages, geocell technology, complemented by the use of geomembranes, provides a comprehensive solution for soil erosion challenges and various civil engineering needs. By incorporating geocell systems, engineers can achieve superior load support, erosion control, slope liner protection, and efficient drainage/canal lining, leading to durable and environmentally friendly solutions for infrastructure projects.
Manufacturing Process of StrataWeb® Geocell
The system utilizes strips of extruded polymer welded together at intervals that when expanded, form a 3-dimensional, honeycomb mattress. Filled with granular material, the resulting cellular confinement system efficiently transfers compressive and tensile stresses from heavy loads, to provide higher load support capacity than any geosynthetic or geogrid product available.
Quality Assurance of StrataWeb® Geocell
Geocells are robust due to its three-dimensional structure. An edge ahead of its two-dimensional geosynthetic reinforcements. However, design using geocells is complex considering raw material used, depth, weld spacing, infill and type of application. The long-term performance of a geocell is still a research domain across the world. However, it is vastly dependent on numerous factors such as raw material, process of manufacturing, the designs, and the end application.
Since, geocells are used for critical designs, it is essential to have a clear understanding of its durability. StrataWeb® undergoes exhaustive testing at internationally reputed laboratories to define all of the above factors.
Success stories of StrataWeb® Geocell
This project includes the ground improvement of subgrade for the internal roads at yarn mills at Amravati, Maharashtra. Since the site had expansive soil, it was difficult to repair the roads in a conventional way.
The Public Works Department, Brunei had to provide a solution to manage the erosion and prevent further scouring of the slope at a building complex in Kiarong, a commercial area in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei.
State Highway 30, managed by the Karnataka PWD is a vital link between Goa and the Uttar Kannada region.
