Cell-Tek Geosynthetics Load Support & Erosion Control Blog: Geotextiles

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.

Beach Access - City of Miami

The City of Miami needed to find an eco-friendly way for fire trucks and other heavy emergency vehicles to drive on Miami Beach without their tires becoming stuck in the sand.

Bernie's Rock and Garden of Miami, FL provided the solution by installing a non-woven geotextile fabric, Cell-Tek's 4" cell depth Load Support Grid, filling the cells with existing beach sand, rebar J shaped hooks every 3 feet, and a layer of 2" sand overfilling the cells as a wearing layer.
