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.

Focus on Geosynthetics: New York Federation's Spring Conference

 (via geosynthetica.net) - From 16-19 May 2010, the Federation of New York Solid Waste Associations will hold its conference and trade show. The event, which will operate under the theme "Strive for Sustainability," will be one of this year's best opportunities for geosynthetic containment discussions. Among the more than 90 technical sessions, two sessions may be of particular interest to geosynthetics professionals: "New Horizons in Geosynthetics" and "Let the Sun Shine Down: Solar Landfill Caps."
