Geocellular Confinement


Geocellular Confinement takes infill materials and produces a stiff base by creating a semi-rigid slab. The system prevents the lateral displacement of infill materials which eliminates rutting and washboarding usually associated with gravel pavements. The system allows for a reduction in overall base thickness, as well as enabling subgrade materials to withstand more than 10 times the number of cyclic load applications, without the appearance of deflection when compared to unconfined aggregates. GCS allows for the use of lower quality infill materials in situations where quality aggregates are not readily available and helps to create pavements on soft soil subgrades. When it comes to load support in porous paving applications, Cell-Tek's LSG SERIES delivers the competitive advantage.

Installing Pavers Using Cell-Tek





600 Sft Paver Driveway using Cell-Tek SG200








3800 Sft Paver Driveway
Total Base Thickness w/ Cell-Tek 3"





Cell-Tek's three dimensional cellular confinement system is the ideal way to install pavers that require load support such as for driveways.  I have been in the paver industry for 20 years and started using CCS 4 years ago for creating a reinforced base system under pavers.  The system allows me to reduce my base thickness while increasing the strength at the same time.  The system prevents lateral movement and increases the load bearing strength.
