Geocells can be used to great advantage considering that:
1.Geocells are the only prefabricated three-dimensional geosynthetics with significant third dimension properties;
2.They are easily transported as flat strips welded width-wise at regular intervals,and logistics for large quantities is not a problem;
3.Geocells are easy to install and do not require skilled labour. They can be installed in any weather condition;
4.The in-fill has essentially to be non-cohesion material,however the material could be recycled material;
5.Solutions considering geocells as a solution for any civil engineering/geotechnical issue always proves to be cost effective with reduced and economic usage of valuable natural resources,including metal/aggregates,sand,cement,etc.the cost savings can be as substantial as much as 30% for road construction and the time saving can be as much as 50%;
6.When used for roads and pavements,geocells substantially reduce cost of maintenance by improving the longevity of the road/pavement;
7.Considering all of the above,geocells help reduce carbon foot-print;since carbon black is an essential ingredient of the HDPE,geocells indirectly foster carbon sequestration.
Benefits of Geocell used in Ground Stabilization:
(1) Improve the bearing capacity and load of the road surface
(2) Reduce filling material by about 50%
(3) Reduce costs by about 30%
(4) Improve work efficiency and shorten construction period
