Geocells

Geocells are a cellular confinement system that are used for a range of erosion control solutions. Often used in construction and engineering, they can be used to stabilise soil, improve load support and help with slope erosion control. The honeycomb-like structure is filled with soil, gravel or other infill materials to create a strong sub base. Geocells can also be utilised for tree root protection in areas where construction or heavy vehicle loads could damage the roots beneath the ground.

Long-Lasting Durability

Made from UV-stabilised HDPE, Terram Geocells are built to last in all soil types, providing a robust and reliable erosion control solution for years to come.

Superior Soil Stabilisation

The interconnected cellular structure reinforces and stabilises soil, preventing erosion on steep slopes and reducing the need for costly maintenance.

Efficient Drainage & Root Growth

Perforations in the cell walls allow water to drain effectively, preventing pooling while promoting healthy vegetation growth.

Cost-Effective Installation

The stiff HDPE material allows for quick filling, while strong joints provide excellent load transfer, reducing the amount of imported material required by up to 50%.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

Designed to support grass and shrub growth, the system helps create a natural green landscape while reducing sediment runoff and drainage costs.

Reduces Settlement & Ground Pressure

By evenly distributing loads, Geocells help prevent differential settlement in soft and variable ground conditions, making them ideal for long-term stability.

FAQs

What are the Geocells made from?The Geocells are all made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene).  The grade selected has been specially to cope with the expected pressures, tensions, and dynamic loadings for the long term.

Have the Geocells been extensively tested?All the Geocells have been thouroughly tested to meet CA Certifications.

Have the Geocells been manufactured to a Quality Control standard to ensure uniformity?Yes, they are all made to BS EN ISO 9001:2015 conditions.

Can the Geocells be installed around trees and obstacles?Geocells can be installed in various locations as they are very flexible and can be cut easily on site to go around structures such as trees and manholes.

When it is required, how are the Geocells joined?They are normally joined by either Heavy Duty Stapling gun or UV stabilized nylon ties.

Can the Geocells work with change of gradient, curved surfaces and site undulations?Geocells can be installed on a range of ground surfaces. These can be easily accommodated by slightly over expanding the cells or under expanding the cells or cutting on site. Please see installations guides for full details.

What does the maximum slope angle the geocells can work to?The maximum they will work to is 45 degrees. Please see installation guides for full details.

Do the Geocells need pinning on a slope?Yes, they do.  The amount of pinning per m2 depends on the slope angle, any changes in surface conditions and depth of geocell. Please see installation guidelines for details.

For Tree Route applications what thickness is required for car or HGV movements?For cars it is generally 150mm and for HGV it is 200mm.  The Geocells may need extra support depending on local ground conditions. Please see installation guidelines for details.
