Techcell is a multifunctional system which can not only offer stabilisation benefits – in for example no dig tree root protection layers – but also soil erosion protection on slopes and reinforcement benefits in earth retaining structures and embankments.
HDPE strips are welded together at intervals to create a network of cells which is then expanded on site. When these cells are infilled with appropriate materials to suit the site conditions and desired application, a new composite entity is created from the cell soil interactions creating a flexible 3D cellular mattress or slab.
Techcell is available in a range of mattress thicknesses from 75mm to 200mm.
TERRAM GEOCELL
Manufactured from permeable geotextile fabric, TERRAM Geocells are a cost-effective solution with multiple applications, enabling reduced project costs and lower environmental impact. TERRAM Geocells are widely used for soil stabilisation, erosion control, tree root protection, flood defense, load platforms, and retaining walls.
BENEFITS
- Lightweight and easy to handle reducing installation costs.
- Permeable geotextile allows free flow of water, essential in tree root applications
- Flexible material adapts to any variations in the terrain
- Easily cut to size without damage, therefor reducing cost
FEATURES
- Using TERRAM Geocells for tree root protection ensures the roots beneath are protected from vehicle loads by confining the sub-base and stabilising the ground.
- Using TERRAM Geocells to control erosion ensures better resistance to the erosive effects of wind and water run-off.
- Manufactured from permeable geotextile, allowing water to flow freely between cells, and encouraging drainage and vegetation.
- Cost-effective solution that eliminates the potential for cracking, spalling, splintering and corrosion seen in conventional earth retention structures.
