Best Geocell Sellers in North East India

Geocell is a three-dimensional honeycomb of polymer strips, welded or bonded together at regular intervals, that opens out on site into a mat of cells.

The cells are filled with soil, sand, aggregate or concrete. Their walls stop the infill from spreading sideways under load, so the compacted fill stays dense and acts as a stiff, unified layer. That confinement is what lets a geocell layer stabilise weak ground, protect slopes from erosion and spread wheel loads over a wider area of subgrade.

Most geocells are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Under vertical load on the infill, the cell walls go into tension and resist the lateral movement of soil particles. The filled layer behaves like a semi-rigid mattress: stiff enough to distribute load, flexible enough to follow minor settlement without cracking.

Ocean Global manufactures geosynthetics and supplies them to projects across Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. The range includes geotextile, geogrid, geocells, geomembranes, geocomposite and geonet.

In the North East, geocells are commonly used for erosion protection on cut and fill slopes along hill roads, for load support on soft, wet subgrades in the river valleys, and for channel and embankment protection where monsoon runoff is heavy. Ocean supplied HDPE perforated geocell for the Light House Project in Agartala, Tripura: read the Agartala geocell case study.

Ocean’s geocell panels are expandable panels made of HDPE and other polymers. On site, each panel is stretched open and pinned, the strips become the walls of a flexible 3-D cellular structure, and the chosen infill is placed and compacted inside the cells.

The confined infill stays in place, resists bulk movement and still drains freely, which improves both the structural and the drainage performance of soil and aggregate layers.

Features

  • Ocean Global geocells are interconnected cells that, once filled, form a stiff layer that works as a load transfer platform over weak ground.
  • They are most effective where heavy loading is expected: confinement raises the shear strength of granular infill.
  • Perforated cell walls let water move between cells, so the layer drains laterally instead of trapping water. (For storage and fast drainage of large volumes of water, see Ocean’s separate drainage cell product.)
  • By stopping soft soil from spreading sideways under load, the geocell increases the strength and stiffness of the foundation layer.

Ocean Global geocells are made from HDPE strips that are ultrasonically welded in series and expanded on site into a 3-D cellular mattress with textured and perforated walls. Filled with compacted soil, sand, aggregate or concrete, they form a confinement system.

FAQs

What are the benefits of using Geocell?

Using Geocell can provide benefits such as improved load-bearing capacity, reduced soil erosion, increased slope stability, and enhanced pavement performance.

Can Geocell be used in both soft and hard soil conditions?

Yes, Geocell can be used in both soft and hard soil conditions by selecting appropriate cell depths and panel thicknesses to meet the project requirements.

Is Geocell environmentally friendly? 

Yes, Geocell is environmentally friendly as it is made from recyclable materials and promotes sustainable construction practices.
