How to Prevent Erosion With Geocell?

GEOPOR Cellular confinement system protects a number of engineering structures, such as highway side slopes, containment dikes and levees,  abutments against erosion and landslides. Even on extremely sloped surfaces, the system prevents the valuable material on the slope surface from being lost due to environmental factors (rain, water, wind etc.)

The cell size and cell height are determined according to the slope height and slope to be applied. The type of infill material to be used has also an important influence on cell size selection.

Allows aesthetic landscape applications.

Prevents the lost material on the slope surface.

Increase slope stability by regulating water intake from the surface.

Protects the root system of plants and provides safe vegetation..

Cellular Filling Slope Storage System

GEOPOR Geocell protects steep slopes against erosıon and landslides. The system which protects the material inside the cell, provides a naturel and safe protection against erosion by allowing safe root development and vegetation.

1- In the crushed stone fill applications, a separation geotextile should be used under the geocells.

2-In steep slope applications, it is recommended to use tendons for fixing.

3-Slope stability should be checked before the application.

4-In steep applications an anchorage ditch should be build for safety.

SOIL STABILIZATION

GEOPOR Geocell provides superior ground reinforcement under roads, railways, airfields, Access roads, sidewalks and parking areas. The system reduces the base thickness to be used and provides a significant economical cost of filling.

1- The material to be used inside the cells must be high quality engineering.

2-The infill material should be compacted with a vibrating cylinder/ compactor.

3- A separation geotextile should be used under the geocells.

Geocell Application

RETAINING WALLS

GEOPOR Geocell can be filled with vegetative soil and stabilizing material to build green walls. Flexi retaining walls, which can be constructed using geogrid reinforcement, perform well against earthquake as opposed to conventional reinforced concrete walls.

1-Depending on the height of the Wall, geogrid reinforcement can be used at the determined type and length at each level.

2- A springer irrigation system can be formed on the front of the Wall.

3-The material to be used inside the cells must be high quality engineering fill.

4- At each stage, the material should be compacted with a vibrating cylinder/ compactor.

 

HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES

GEOPOR Geocell provides economical and safe solutions for hydraulic structures such as open channels, dam structures, shoreline protection structures and lagoons. Cellular confinement system that can be filled with soil, crushed stone and concrete protects the structures against destructive effects of water.

1-In the crushed stone fill applications, a separation geotextile should be used under the geocells.

2-If there is a membrane on the slope surface, it is recommended to use tendons for fixing.

3-Slope stability should be checked before the application.

4-In the pond/lagoon applications, the cells are filled with concrete.

5-In channel applications and steep slopes an anchorage ditch should be build for safety.
