GEOCELL Retaining Walls

11.jpg

GeoCells were invented in the early 80’s and patented by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to stabilize soft soils and construct toads for heavy load application.  Since their inception, they are now used for various civil applications such as slope and channel protection and retaining walls.

For retaining walls the GeoCells can be used for both cut and fill applications. The flexible HDPEpanels are custom made to the front to back dimensions required by the project engineer. The panels are 6” or 8” tall and typically expand 2.85’ into the wall.The walls are further reinforced using a uniaxial grid embedded further into the wall every 3-4 layers of GeoCell. The GeoCells can be easily installed around curves and pipes or other structures.The GeoCell panels are constructed with the front facing strip colored green or tan to blend in with the surroundings. The GeoCell panels can be stacked to create a 90 degree wall or they can be stair stepped at every layer to create 3-4 inches of exposed cell for vegetation. The GeoCells are theperfect green wall solution

KEYPOINTS

• Small 5-person installation crew.

• Installation +30% faster than conventional wall systems.

• Does not require heavy equipment for installation.

• GeoCell walls are permeable and can be fully vegetated.

• Once fully vegetated the panels are not visible.

• Panels can be filled with onsite materials.

• Low impact development system reducing stormwater runoff.

• Panels are flexible and will not break or get damaged from settlement or movement.

• Fully UV protected.

• HDPE strips will not corrode or degrade.

• Front cells can be filled with rock or concrete to withstand hydraulic forces.

• GeoCell panels can replace gabion baskets.  GeoCell panels do not need rock and can be filled with native soil and be fully vegetated.
