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.

BASICS: What is a Geocellular Confinement System?

Cell-Tek Geocellular Confinement Systems are made with ultrasonically-welded, 100% recycled HDPE strips that are easily expanded to form a honeycomb-like grid which is then filled with gravel, soil or aggregate. Cell-Tek Products are used in construction and landscaping for load support, earth retention, erosion control, green roofs, channel revetment and slope protection. Our goal is to positively impact society by sharing the science of our affordable alternative building solutions.

Cell-Tek's Geocellular Confinement Systems confine infill materials and prevent lateral movement away from the applied load. Our products are manufactured in a variety of cell depths and all units are shipped and stored in collapsed form. All products are tested to meet all ASTM requirements.
