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.

Paving the Anchorage Trail with Cell-Tek Load Support Grid.

A recent article in Hardscape Magazine (Nov/Dec 2010 issue) explained how Cell-Tek's LSG 200 load support grid was the perfect solution for paving the Anchorage Trail.

"Ingenious Engineering to a Paver Trail in a Flood Plain" by Tom Hatlen

In the article,  Terry Chapman explains how and why he chose Cell-Tek products to support the paver trail with very little excavation and without reshaping the surrounding terrain in any way. Terry learned of Cell-Tek's LSG Series Load Support Grid and had explored its various uses since seeing it at Hardscape North America.

"I talked to the Cell-Tek guys in Nashville about what it could do and my jaw just dropped."
